Sir Isaac Newton was one of the the greatest scientist in the world. He did groundbreaking research and discoveries regarding the laws of motion, characteristics of light, gravitational force, calculus, orbital cannon, etc. Newton has numerous additional innovations that aid in the modernization of civilizations. Let's take a look at the 5 most remarkable inventions and discoveries of the great scientist Isaac Newton. At a Glance: Life of Sir Isaac Newton  Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, on January 4, 1643. After his mother remarried, Newton spent the most of his early years with his maternal grandmother. His father had died three months before to his birth. A unsuccessful effort to make him become a farmer halted his schooling, and he attended the King's School in Grantham before enrolling in 1661 at the University of Cambridge's Trinity College. Newton studied a classical curriculum at Cambridge, but he grew attracted by the writings of contemporary philosophers like as René Descartes. He even devoted a collection of notes titled "Questiones Quaedam Philosophicae" to his outside reads. In 1665, when the Great Plague wiped out Cambridge, Newton retreated to his farm and started developing his ideas on calculus, light, and color. On this farm, an apple is said to have fallen, inspiring his work on gravity. Newton was also an avid student of history and theological concepts, and his posthumously released works on these topics were gathered into many volumes. Newton, who never married, spent his final years living with his niece in Cranbury Park, England, near Winchester. He passed away peacefully on March 31, 1727, and was interred in Westminster Abbey.

Here are the most discussed ones: Orbital Cannon Isaac Newton enjoyed experimenting with the notion of universal gravity. In his speculations, he envisioned a mountain so tall that it would protrude into space. He believed that if such a mountain existed, a cannon could be placed on it to fire objects into space. This was an explanation for how one item may circle another. He reasoned that if the cannonball were launched with the correct quantity of gunpowder, it might attain sufficient velocity to descend towards Earth at the same pace that the globe bent away from the sun. The projectile would continue to circle the globe in free fall. Three Laws of Motion There is no doubting Newton's influence on our contemporary knowledge of physics, notwithstanding the skepticism of certain historians about the stories of Newton's household pets. In 1687, he nailed the basic workings of gravity with his law of universal gravitation, and he nailed the fundamental workings of motion with his three laws of motion. Here is how they all compare: Unless affected by an external force, an item will stay at rest or in a straight path of motion. When an item is subjected to force, it will accelerate (force = mass times acceleration). There is an equal and opposing response for every action.

Calculus Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz are supposed to have independently devised calculus at the same time, despite each claiming that the other stole their work. Newton recognized that algebra and geometry were insufficient for the science he was pursuing, so he devised a new method of mathematics to correctly decipher the universe.

2022 was a year full of inventions and innovations. Last year there have been considerable strides in almost all spheres of the scientific periphery. From efficient renewable energy to life-like robots, the year tested the limit of possibilities. Perhaps some of the most considerable progress has been made in the field of medical sciences ranging from improved diagnostics to path-breaking cures.  Here is our pick of the 11 best medical science innovations of 2022.  11 Most Significant Innovations in Medical Science in 2022  PSMA Diagnostics for Efficient Prostate Cancer Diagnostics  Prostate cancer has been a growing concern in men’s health over the last few decades. About 13% of the total male population is at risk of prostate cancer, with people over 65 being the primary patients. It is also common among non-Hispanic races and poses serious complications if not treated at the nascent stage.  The conventional diagnosis uses bone and CT scanning, which might often fail to detect the cancer-forming tumor at the early stage. But a new diagnosis using Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen or PSMA, which is predominantly found on the surface tissue of the tumor has been discovered. This will allow accurate diagnostics at the onset which will dramatically reduce later-stage complications.  Read More: 10 Greatest Female Scientists of All Time New Breakthrough in LDL Cholesterol Reduction  High cholesterol level in the blood has been the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases across the globe. Studies showed that LDL or Low-Density Lipoproteins were the leading cause of hypercholesterolemia which is the root of different cardiovascular complications.  Until recently, statins were considered the best medication for treating hypercholesterolemia and it requires regular administration. But a recent breakthrough in LDL research has shown inclisiran to have a better effect in reducing the LDL level in blood. The drug was first approved in 2019 and went on as a regular administrative drug in 2022. Compared to statins, inclisiran requires only two administrations per year for effective reduction.  Improved Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes  Diabetes has been a serious problem in the US as well across regions across the globe. The seemingly incurable disease has to be controlled with a strict diet to keep the blood sugar level low. The long-traditional method of controlling type 2 diabetes has been to inject external insulin to make up for the lack of physical production. In most cases, it requires daily administration under the skin.  But a recent breakthrough study suggests that instead of injecting external insulin, glucose-based insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-based peptide can be administered to stimulate the pancreas to naturally produce insulin. Moreover, this drug can be administered once every week.  Read More: How Can Artificial Intelligence Improve Healthcare? Treatment of Postpartum Depression  Postpartum depression is a serious maternity-related problem. Even though the registered cases of the same are low. That is because in most cases, the issue is overlooked and remains undiagnosed. Especially in underdeveloped and developing countries.  If untreated, postpartum depression can cause stress-related mental illness as well as physical harm. A breakthrough study on postpartum depression shows that there is a new therapy. It uses neurosteroids to stimulate the brain away from depression. The therapy is a 60-hour long procedure that needs to be administered after the onset of the first sign.  Breakthrough Treatment for HCM  Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a rare yet deadly disease relating to the cardiovascular system of the human body. The disease is often linked to genetic conditions that cause the head muscles to respond irregularly to natural stimuli. And that results in overdriving or spasming the heart.  To this day, there has been no formal cure to treat the problem. Most of the drugs administered are secondary recessive measures for similar cardiovascular problems.  But this new therapy consisting of several treatments using beta blockers, anticoagulants, and other chemicals aims to halt the progression of the disease. While it still won’t be able to cure the disease, it will be able to drastically reduce the progression of the same.  Read More: Successful transplant of pig's heart into a human body for the first time Motor Movement for Severe Paralysis  Every year, around a quarter to half a million people suffer from some form of paralysis globally. This astounding number not only renders the patient immobile at times but also causes physical deterioration over time.  A group of scientists has come up with a neural signaling process to give back some form of voluntary motor functions to severely paralyzed patients. The technology uses implants to understand brain signals and convert them to motor functions for the paralyzed part using external gear. Currently, the groups are working with hand and body movement.  Micro Robotics for Endodontic Diagnostics  It's fascinating how no two humans in this world have the exact same dental structure. Yet the diagnostics of endodontic treatment doesn’t even go beyond the genders. This seemingly singular diagnostic method is coming to an end thanks to micro robotic applications in the process. Studies showed that microrobots can be inserted in the root canal without secondary incisions to get a better idea and depth of the problem. Doctors will then be able to tailor patient-specific treatment approaches which were not available before.  Read More: Jute Sanitary Napkins: Bangladeshi scientist Farhana Sultana got awarded for eco-friendly innovation Optical Fiber Imaging for Alzheimer's Diagnosis  Alzheimer's is still one of those diseases without any cure. Scientists are still trying to understand the underlying cause and the effect it has on the brain on long time progression.  The American Institute of Physics has recently developed an optical fiber imaging system to better understand how Alzheimer's progresses. Doctors now have the highest resolution imaging of the brain to study progression while applying this least invasive method.  Vaccine of Malaria  While the world recovers from the grappling consequence of the pandemic, the scientists at Oxford University have successfully invented a vaccine for one of the leading causes of child mortality in the world, malaria. The preliminary trial run was conducted on children in Burkina Faso with results suggesting an 80% success rate in preventing the disease. This vaccine which is slated to go on mass production this year would be the single biggest advancement in reducing child mortality in central Africa.  Read More: Telangana's 'Medicines From The Sky' project utilizes drones in health care Sebum Test for Parkinson’s Diagnostics  Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease follows a long and tedious process that often requires highly invasive procedures. But thanks to the newly developed technology, scientists can now use the sebum produced from the Sebaceous glands to efficiently identify Parkinson’s disease.  Sebum is basically oil secreted from under the skin. Scientists have found that over 500 components of the sebum differ between a regular person and a Parkinson’s patient. The process is not only efficient but also ensures as little invasion in diagnostics as possible.   mRNA Vaccine Research  RNA is a primary component that is used to understand the effect of disease and potentially create a vaccine for the same. Without effective understanding, separation, and purification of RNA, it would take scientists years to come up with a potential cure for any new disease.  Thanks to the ongoing research, we are finally in the next generation of the mRNA vaccine identification process. This technology has been aggregated more by the effective invention and application of the Covid 19 vaccines. With this technology, scientists will now be able to create vaccines or cures for potential new diseases at a much faster rate.  Read More: Top 10 Most Exciting Innovations of 2022 in Technology Final Words  The year 2022 saw some great advancements in the field of medical sciences.

While it's great for AR and VR, it is also paving the way for personal harassment and insurance fraud.  Truepic Lens aims to combat the growing nuisance created by deepfake by analyzing the content. The company calls it “glass to glass” analysis, where they check that the lens glass captures are accurate to the ones you are seeing in your display. They use different AI, layering, and metadata analyses to conclude whether any digital media has been manipulated using deepfake or not.  Robots are More Life-like than Ever  The concept of robots has long evolved from mechanical to actual functional units and more recently, to a humanoid concept. The idea is to replicate robots as close to humans as possible.  The scientists at Engineered Arts have created Ameca, a fusion of AI and human-like motion. The humanoid AI platform Ameca has been created to replicate humans as naturally and fluidly as possible. The robot can express emotions, and facial responses and even move around in the most realistic way to date.  Read More: Ameca: World’s Most Realistic Advanced Humanoid Robot AI Platform Diverting an Asteroid  Do you remember that Bruce Willis film called Armageddon? The plot revolves around a team of astronauts who successfully diverts an asteroid to save humanity. Over two decades on from the fictional world of the movies, NASA has been successful in diverting the course of Dimorphos asteroid with their DART mission.  And you guessed it, NASA force crashed a 1,100-pound spacecraft into the surface of Dimorphos to effectively alter its course. This gave NASA important data to analyze diversions should there be an asteroid crisis in the future. DALL E 2: The Revolutionary Text to Imaging AI  With the hot debate of whether AI art is art or not aside, there has been a considerable stride in using AI to morph images. While previously it required a subject or a reference for the work, the revolutionary breakthrough by Open AI has paved the way for text to the imaging process.  It essentially means that you can feed a prompt to the AI, and based on your details, DALL E 2 will come up with a photorealistic result. The results are almost eerily accurate to what you might be visualizing in your head, and Open AI thinks this could be a breakthrough point in how we interact with AI or use AI per se.  Read More: How Can Artificial Intelligence Improve Healthcare? Chat GPT  If DALL E 2 fascinated you, wait till you hear what else Open AI has developed in 2022. One of their latest beta creations is the Chat GPT.
