Greatest discoveries of the last decade

INTRODUCTION

The universe is full of secrets . There are so many things

humans are unaware of . The discovery of a new planet or a new
medicine, all of it is a step closer to discovering and creating new
things.

Here are 10 things humans have discovered in last 10 decade and

they will make your life sound like a science fiction.
 Pluto-sized planet eris discovered-2005
It is the most massive and second-largest dwarf planet
known in the solar system. It is roughly three times that
of pluto and was founded in 2005.
2. DARK MATTER’S EXISTENCE
CONFIRMED-2009

Dark matter is a hypothetical matter that would

account for most of the matter in the universe. Its
existence was confirmed in 2009 and more research
is going around it.
3.EARTH OLDER COUSIN PLANET
KEPLER 452B FOUND-2015
In July 2015, NASA found earth’s older cousin,
kepler 452b. It is 60 percentage larger in diameter
than earth, and its temperature is similar to our
planet.
4.THE PROGRAMMING OF STEM SOURCES
AND ITS NEW SOURCES-2007 AND BEYOND

Scientists feom Kyoto university of Wisconsin-Madison

researched on how stem cells can be programmed to become
skin or any other part of the human body. In 2014, stem cells
were found in human teeth.
5. MARS SURFACE GIVES SIGNS OF WATER-
2008

NASA’s Mars phoenix lander was their sixth

attempt to land on the polar region of mar’s
where they confirmed the presence of water
ice and signs of organic compound.
 6.DEADLY ALTERED H5N1 VIRUS
CREATED ON PURPOSE-2011
Two groups of researchesrs triggered a worldwide debate
when they genetically altered the H5N1 virus. It could
easily between humans, which is why scientists all over
the world interfered to stop experimenting with it .
 7.TRUENORTH CHIPS THAT MIMIC THE BRAIN-2014

In 2014, IBMcreated chips that can mimic human brains .

They recognize patterns just like a human brain and rely on
densely interconnected webs of transistors similar to the
brain’s netural networks.
 8.IS THERE LIFE ON MARS?

In 2005, NASA released images showing long , dark streaks on the

surface of the red planet that appears and disappear throughout the
seasons.This is solid proof that liquid water exists on mars today.
The presence of water would also be a big help when we finally go on a
manned mission to mars in around 2024.
 9. GRAVITIONAL WAVES
Gravitional waves are ripplesin the fabric of space-time that
travel at the speed of light .Things like blackhole merging
send out gravitational waves that ,in 2016,were detected by
various LIGO laser apparatus as passing over the earth.
 10.A COMPUTER CHIP THAT MIMICS THAT
HUMAN BRAIN.
IBM released a computer a computer chip that works similarly to the human brain in
2014. Containing 5.4 billion transistors and consuming 10,000 times less power than
conventional computer chips ,SyNAPSE works by simulating the synapses found in
your brain. SyNAPSE is not a limitd in terms of performance, thanks to its radically
differing design when compared to a mainstream computer.
