Online serviceAmerica Online purchases Booklink as a browser to offer its users a gateway to the
World Wide Web for the first time. This marks the beginning of easy accessibility of the Web to the average person in the U.S.[18] In 1996, AOL replaces Booklink with a browser based on Internet Explorer, allegedly in exchange for inclusion of AOL in Windows.[19]
Leonard Adleman describes the experimental use of
DNA as a computational system to solve a seven-node instance of the
Hamiltonian path problem, the first known instance of the successful use of DNA to compute an
algorithm.[22]
May 6 – The
Channel Tunnel, which took 15,000 workers more than seven years to complete, officially opens between England and France; it will enable passengers to travel by rail between the two countries in 35 minutes.
