About TechScribe

Techscribe is a concept in which we allow individuals from universities all around Sri Lanka to publish articles on Medium. This will create a platform for them to display their articles, research publications, etc. The articles will be collected through the Tech Emissary network. 

  • Technical articles and posts which have the technical content of different aspects will be shared here.
  • “Did you know” : A series of  “Did you know” posts by taking references from IEEE spectrum articles and other reliable sources.
  • Research Articles : Based on IEEE Xplore articles and other reliable sources.

On 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟱, 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟲, Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell is born at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. She was created using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the cell nucleus from an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilized oocyte (developing egg cell) that has had its cell nucleus removed.

The cells had been taken from the udder of a six-year-old ewe and cultured in a lab using microscopic needles, in a method first used in human fertility treatments in the 1970s.

Leap second events are scheduled every few years in order to keep UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) in alignment with the earth's rotation. UTC was already 10 seconds behind TAI (International Atomic Time) before the first leap second was added on 𝟯𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟮. Since then, the Earth has slowed down an additional 27 seconds, and a total of 27 leap seconds have been added.

The next possible date is December 31, 2022. However, it is unlikely that any leap seconds will be added in the near future, since the Earth's rotation has been relatively fast lately.

On June 6th, 1984, Alexey Pajitnov first released the game Tetris in USSR, which later became one of the most popular puzzle video games of all time. Originally programmed for a Soviet-built Elektronika 60 computer, the game was soon ported to the IBM PC, where it spread quickly throughout Moscow and the rest of the USSR.

Tetris is available on over 65 platforms, setting a Guinness world record for the most ported video game.

On May 31st, 1941, electric eye detectors were first used to measure high-jumping height at a track meet of the Schenectady, NY, Patrolmen’s Association.

The equipment, designed by General Electric engineers, comprised of a movable light source on one standard and four electric eyes on the other, with a box which operated the equipment and recorded the height jumped. Four parallel beams, an inch apart, were focused between the standards, so that if a jumper goes higher than the set mark, he is credited with the additional height up to three inches.
