      Future’s Mind-Blowing Technologies

      Emerging technologies that we never imagine possible are already a reality and helping to shape the future. As The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) points the technologies of the future.

      No More Passwords

      According to MIT, 2022 will mark the beginning of the end of passwords when accessing internet services.

      Microsoft, Google, and Apple are already working so that user authentication is done through facial recognition, instant messages, or other means that eliminate the tedious numbers that we often forget.

      Long-lasting Batteries

      Storing renewable energy is a challenge that companies such as ESS or Form Energy are trying to solve by developing iron batteries.

      More sustainable than batteries made of other materials (iron is abundant and easy to obtain) and, in some cases, with the capacity to store energy for 100 hours.

      The future of renewable energies (such as solar) is link to the existence of long-lasting batteries that allow their use.

      Tracking Covid-19

      According to MIT estimates, 2% of the PCRs carry out in the world were sent to laboratories to carry out a genomic study that would alert us to new variants of Covid.

      A scientific feat carried out through tools such as GISAID, Nextstrain or Illumina, which share global data between researchers.

      This way of working is a very important step forward in the fight against Covid, but it also opens the door for other battles that science must undertake.

      Artificial Intelligence in Protein Folding

      An Artificial Intelligence (AI) program from the company DeepMind achieve an incredible breakthrough in 2020, quickly predicting the so-called “folding of proteins”.

      The program was able to predict the exact behavior of proteins with a speed that exceed any process with computers in the laboratory and, in this way, great pharmacological advances have achieve that can still go further.

      Vaccine for Malaria

      The current malaria vaccine, develop by GlaxoSmithKline and approve by the WHO, is future technology because it has proven that it can save thousands of lives.

      Cryptocurrencies

      The most doubtful chapter of our future will cryptocurrencies be one more innovation, assumable and rationally developable, or a bubble that causes financial cataclysms.

      The current cryptocurrency system requires complex security, which is currently done by “miners”, people who decipher a kind of riddle to check if the algorithm has a sufficient level of protection or can be circumvente in case the ” riddle” is deciphered.

      This supposes an enormous expenditure of energy because it needs endless computers running.

      Proof of stake is a technology that would eliminate this “mining” process and save, according to MIT, more than 99% of the energy that the cryptocurrency system now needs.

      Pill for Covid 19

      Develop by Pzifer, this pill reduces the possibility of hospitalization by 89% if administer in the first days of infection.

      Vaccines have crucial in stopping the pandemic, but this medicine is key to making deaths from Covid practically disappear.

      Fusion Reactors

      A project of Commonwealth Fusion Systems that has manage to create a superconducting electromagnet with a force in its magnetic field of 20 Tesla.

      This could be the basis for achieving fusion reactors that generate clean, waste-free and practically inexhaustible energy.

      This path would be the alternative to nuclear fusion with which China is trying to light an “artificial sun” that will never go extinct .

      Synthetic data by an AI

      The very concept of this technological innovation is dizzying, it would be data that an Artificial Intelligence would create where there are information gaps.

      That is, by calculations and deductions.

      Data that emerge “out of nowhere”.

      Built using other nearby data, by proximity.

      Carbon Removal

      Clean the planet through factories that capture CO2 from the air.

      In Reykjavík (Iceland) there is a factory of this type that captures 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.

      Which sounds like a lot but it is not if we take into account the immense amount of CO2 that human beings emit.

      In any case, these types of factories, as their technology improves, can help with the problem of climate change.

      Artificial Intelligence

      A revolution in progress that may, perhaps, in the coming years represent a true scientific leap.

      By applying AI to certain research processes, progress can be accelerate.

      Medical

      The Covid pandemic has shown that humanity is vulnerable and that the new technology in vaccines (messenger RNA) and new drugs is essential.

      Climate Disaster

      Climate change is already here and mitigating its effects is an obligation of science if we want to survive as a species.
