On May 29, 1953, New Zealander Sir Edmund Percival Hillary (1919– ) became the first person to reach the summit (top) of Mount Everest. The highest mountain in the world (29,028 feet [8,847 meters]), Mount Everest is in the Himalaya Mountains, between Nepal and Tibet in China. As a young man, Hillary became interested in mountain climbing and, while serving in the New Zealand Air Force, he climbed mountains near the base where he was stationed. Later he perfected his climbing skills under the guidance of Harry Ayres, a famous mountaineer. During 1951 and 1952, Hillary took part in an expedition of New Zealanders who were determined to climb Mount Everest. In 1953 Hillary and Tenzing Norgay (1914–1986), a Nepalese climber, reached the summit, where Hillary took a photograph of Norgay.

Invention of the First Laser Google Logo

Here is Google Logo



From Wikipedia,
A laser is an electronic-optical device that emits coherent light radiation. The term "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.[1] A typical laser emits light in a narrow, low-divergence monochromatic (single-coloured, if the laser is operating in the visible spectrum), beam with a well-defined wavelength. In this way, laser light is in contrast to a light source such as the incandescent light bulb, which emits light over a wide area and over a wide spectrum of wavelengths.

The first working laser was demonstrated on May 16, 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories.[2] Recently, lasers have become a multi-billion dollar industry. The most widespread use of lasers is in optical storage devices such as compact disc and DVD players, in which the laser (a few millimeters in size) scans the surface of the disc. Other common applications of lasers are bar code readers, laser printers and laser pointers.

In industry, lasers are used for cutting steel and other metals and for inscribing patterns (such as the letters on computer keyboards). Lasers are also commonly used in various fields in science, especially spectroscopy, typically because of their well-defined wavelength or short pulse duration in the case of pulsed lasers. Lasers are used by the military for rangefinding, target identification and illumination for weapons delivery. Lasers used in medicine are used for internal surgery and cosmetic applications.
