The first electronic computers, such as the ENIAC (announced in 1946), were huge devices that weighed tons, occupied entire rooms, and required many operators to function successfully.
The modern, digital, electronic, general-purpose computer was developed, by many contributors, over an extended period from the mid 1930s to the late 1940s, during this period many experimental machines were built that were possibly Turing-complete (ABC, ENIAC, Harvard Mk I, Colossus etc see the History of computing hardware).
The ENIAC was originally designed to calculate ballistics firing tables for artillery, but it was also used to calculate neutron cross-sectional densities to help in the design of the hydrogen bomb.

Current electron microscopic reconstructions are quite capable of analyzing even the finest dendrites and thinnest axons, as well as determining the location and size of synapses[27,28], and even finer detail[29].

 Photography Articles by RIT Faculty Members
Photographers use slaved electronic flashes as a matter of course but seldom question the delay between the firing of a main flash and that of the second, slaved, flash.
This is an introduction to several topics related to high speed photography from electronic flash to rotating prism and rotating mirror cameras to streak and synchroballistic applications of various high speed maging systems.
This article describes the process by which cameras originally designed for use as rotating, 360 degree coverage, panoramic cameras can be used for applications such as photographing the full length of a passing train or the facades of all the buildings along a street.
