Over the past few years, however, rapid advances in processing power, storage, and bandwidth have catapulted this technology into a tool for manufacturing finished products that include jewelry, shoes, dresses, car dashboards, parts for jet engines, jawbones for humans, replacement parts for synthesizers, and much more.
What I learned from my diagnosis and my consequential ongoing lifetime of treatment, catapulted me to launch two nonprofit organizations to help others escape an avoidable advanced-stage diagnosis.
Just as the children are chafing at their reduced non-royal status, they find themselves taken back to Narnia, but they have been catapulted 1300 years into the future, during which time there has been precious little advance in technology: there are crossbows, and that's about it.
Just as the children are chafing at their reduced non-Royal status, they find themselves transported back to Narnia, but they have been catapulted 1300 years in the future, during which time there has been precious little advance in industry and technology: there's crossbows and that's about it.
Asked to recall any defining "eureka!" moments that had catapulted his hunches forward to the status of certainty, Südhof noted that in his experience, science advances step by step, not in jumps.
Over the past few years, however, rapid advances in what I call "The Three Digital Accelerators;" processing power, storage, and bandwidth, have catapulted this technology into a tool for manufacturing finished products that include not only shoes, but also jewelry, dresses, car dashboards, parts for jet engines, jawbones for humans, replacement parts for synthesizers, and much more.
Advances such as recently developed direct electron detectors and sophisticated methods of 3D classification have catapulted cryo-EM to the forefront of understanding protein conformational landscapes in larger systems, at resolutions overlapping with the low end of those achieved by X-ray crystallography.
It catapulted me into adulthood.
Tumbleweeds catapulted across the yard.
I catapulted the growth".
