Proyects 🎇
ROBOT TO HELP MEDICAL STAFF
Several Chinese companies have developed different robots so that packages can be delivered without any contact with other people. They also use these robots to spray disinfectants or perform basic diagnostic functions in order to minimize the risk of infection.
For example, Pudu technology has always made robots to restore or fix things, but thanks to the pandemic, more than 40 hospitals in Chin have used them to help medical personnel.
Another means they are using to combat the virus and the contagion is drones that carry medical specimens and perform thermal imaging.
ROBOT FOR DOMICILES OR FOOD DELIVERY
Another way in which they are converting the virus is using robots to deliver food, specifically the robot in the photo belongs to a hotel in China that serves to bring food and water to the hotel rooms so that people do not have to leave their rooms, to monitor the exit and entry of people, they are also using cameras.
This robot has been of great use to manage the whole situation of the pandemic, since it practically doesn't need of any manipulation or accompaniment of some person so that it can deliver its food, the only function of a person in this process is to prepare the food and to put it in the robot, from there on this one continues its way alone, this robot is capable of raising the elevator and mark the floor where it should arrive thanks to its advanced technology and programming, when it arrives at the door of the hotel room, calls on the phone and reports its presence so you can deliver the food, and when the person opens the door this robot has a compartment in his belly where it is the food that later the person collects for this robot finally go.
ROBOTIC ARM
The robotic arm has been very useful in these times of pandemic. It is an arm on wheels that can perform ultrasounds, take samples from the mouth, and listen to patients with a stethoscope. These tasks are done directly by medical personnel. But with the robot-equipped with cameras-they do not need to be in the same room and could even be in another city. All of this helps ensure that doctors who treat patients with COVID-19 do not contract the virus. "We can use robots to do the most dangerous tasks," the doctors say. The idea came to him during the Lunar New Year. Wuhan had just been quarantined and the number of cases and deaths was rising rapidly, so it was good to use this robot for this task.
Engineer Zheng Gangtie transformed two mechanized arms with the same technology used in space stations. The robots were almost completely automated and could even be disinfected after performing actions involving contact with patients, I have explained.
The equipment has two robots, which have been tested by doctors in Beijing hospitals. One is still in the university's laboratory, but the other is at Wuhan Union Hospital, where the doctors began testing it.

Hong Kong is also an important commercial destination, famous for its tailors who make custom-made clothes and the Temple Street Night Market.
Its current president is Xi Jinping, who became president on March 14, 2013. The official currency of China is the yuan or renminbi, which founded the People's Bank of China and was first put into circulation in 1949.
María Goeppert Mayer 👩💻
Physicist
"Math is starting to look more and more like solving a puzzle.
So does physics, but these are puzzles created by nature, not by the mind of humans."

Theresa Cori Gerty 👩🔬
Biochemist
Theresa Cori Gerty was born in Prague in 1896. She was a well-known biochemist, first teaching at Washington University School of Medicine.
She married Carl F. Cori and together they discovered an ester that establishes the first step for the transformation of glycogen to glucose. This led them to formulate Cori's cycle by which liver glycogen is converted to blood glucose and from it to muscle glycogen.
In 1947 Theresa and Carl won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their important research, making Theresa Cori the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize. This was not the only work she did, she published papers on carbohydrates, metabolism and enzyme functions in animal tissue in the Journal of biological chemistry.
She died in Sant Luois in 1957.

Wang Zhenyi 👩🔬
Scientist
Wang Zhenyi was a famous scientist of the Qing dynasty.
She dedicated herself to studying areas such as astronomy, mathematics, geography and medicine. In mathematics Zhenyi was an expert in trigonometry and it was she who rewrote the book "Principle of Calculus" by mathematician Mey Wending in a much simpler language so that it could be easily understood by students. She also worked on simplifying multiplications and divisions to make them much easier.
In astronomy, Wang studied common phenomena. Some well-known articles by the scientist were "On the explanation of lunar eclipses" "The explanation of the Solar eclipse", "About longitude and stars" and "About the procession of the equinoxes".
In addition, he collected data on the weather to try to find solutions to the droughts and floods that his region was suffering.
"Women are made to feel that they are the same as men; aren't you convinced that daughters can be heroic too" -- "When people talk about learning and science, they don't think about women" -- "Women shouldn't just cook and sew, and they shouldn't be bothered to write articles for publication, study history, compose poems or do calligraphy" -- "They are people, who have the same reason for studying".
Tu Youyou 👩🔬
Chemical
Tu Youyou is a scientist, pharmaceutical chemist and physician. She was born on December 30, 1930 in Ningbo, China. She saved thousands of lives thanks to her discovery of the extract of the plant artemisinin to treat malaria by testing traditional Chinese medicine. Thanks to this important discovery, Tu Youyou, in addition to saving hundreds of lives, received the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2015.
"All I wanted to do was a good job at my job. Of course, I would be nothing without my team. This honor belongs to me, my team and the entire nation."
Mileva Maric 👩🏫
Mathematician
Mileva Marić also known as Mileva Einstein was a Serbian mathematician. She was born on December 19 of 1875, Servia, and died on August 4 of 1948, Switzerland. She was Albert Einstein's first wife in addition to being his colleague. She had developed research on number theory, differential and integral calculus, elliptical functions, heat theory and electrodynamics. Mileva's thoughts and discoveries are believed to have had a great impact on Einstein's work.
One of Mileva's discoveries was the photoelectric effect that originated in her work when she studied in Heidelberg with Professor Lenard, who later received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Elizabeth Blackburn 👩🔬
Biochemical
Elizabeth Helen Blackburn is an Australian biochemist and won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2009. Elizabeth was one of the first among biochemists to study telomeres, along with John Gall and Jack Szostak. Telomeres are the ends of the chromosomes in eukaryotic cells, which are necessary both for cell division and for maintaining the integrity and stability of the chromosomes.
Blackburn and Greider also discovered that cancer cells are capable of continuing to produce greater amounts of telomerase, causing tumors to appear. This discovery may contribute to finding substances, methods or targets that are effective in slowing down the secretion of this enzyme and thus help in the treatment of cancer.
"Having few women in science doesn't do science any good. Women can do science as well as men, so having few women is equivalent to losing a lot of scientific talent."

María Andresa Casamayor 👩🏫
Mathematician
María Juana Rosa Andresa Casamayor de La Coma was a Spanish mathematician, writer and teacher of girls who excelled in the handling of numbers and arithmetic, areas that at that time were common to men and not to women. She was born on November 30, 1720, Zaragoza, Spain and died on October 23, 1780, Zaragoza, Spain.
In 2009, the Zaragoza City Council dedicated a street to her that was previously called "Grupo Jose Antonio Girón“ Gijón also has a street named after the Zaragoza scientist. In 2018 she was included in the Periodic Table of Women Scientists, together with other women scientists from all over the world.
Mary Cartwright 👩🏫
Mathematician
Mary Lucy Cartwright was born in England in 1900, on December 17th. In 1919 she decided to go to Oxford to study, being at that time 1 of the 5 women who studied at that university. After graduating, in 1923, she decided to become a math teacher for 4 years, in Worcester and Buckinghamshire.
Then she decided to return to the university to do a doctorate, her thesis spoke of "The Zeros of the integral Functions of special types", within the field of complex variable analysis. After getting his PhD he made one of his most important works regarding function theory, the Cartwright theorem, which deals with function maxims.
He obtained a research scholarship at Griton College in 1930. He worked with John E. Littlewood on the solutions of differential equations that served as a model for the development of radio and radar. And with Littlewood's studies and his theorem he began the theory of chaos.
She was appointed a member of the Royal Society in 1947, becoming the first woman mathematician to be a member of this organization, and in 1960 she became the first woman president of the mathematical society in London, she was also the first woman to obtain the Sylvester Medal in 1963, in 1968 she received the Morgan Medal, and as if that were not enough, in 1969 she received the highest British distinction when the Queen appointed her a lady of the British Empire.
She died in Cambridge, England on April 3, 1998.

Émilie du Châtelet 👩🏫
Mathematician and Phisicist
Émilie
du Châtelet was a great mathematician and physicist, she was born in Paris in
1706, and her name is Émilie le Tonolier de Breteuil, but this changed when she
married the Marquis Florent-Claude de Châtelet, to the name by which we know
her today. In itself, although she was very intelligent, the fact that she was
an aristocrat and her father did not discriminate against her because she was a
woman was very important for the development of her career, since he let her
study as any man would, she studied mathematics, literature, science, among
others.
She was the mother of three children, and at the age
of 43, when she gave birth to her fourth, she died. Even so, before her death
she made many discoveries and acquired many knowledge that we use today; among
her works, she translated into French Newton's Mathematica Principle, to which
she also added her own analysis of energy conservation, in addition, she
deepened differential equations and demonstrated, thanks to her knowledge of
physics and mathematics, that energy of an object in motion is proportional to
its mass by the square of its speed.
"The cult of books is the best prelude to know humans."

Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin 👩🔬
Chemist
Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin was born in Cairo in 1910, she was a chemist who studied at Oxford, where in her last year she decided to specialize in X-ray crystallography, then moved to Cambridge where she worked with a very famous scientist, John Desmond Bernal. She then returned to Oxford to take up a research position and there she stayed for her entire career before marrying historian Thomas Hodgkin in 1947.
She succeeded in developing the technique of X-ray diffraction which she later applied in the search for the exact three-dimensional structure of complex organic molecules. She also determined the structure of pepsin, penicillin, among others, and discovered the crystalline structure of insulin which is an essential drug for the treatment of diabetes. Even before discovering all this, he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on X-ray diffraction.
"I was captured for life by chemistry and crystals."
