Amazing inventions of this era with the potential to change the world. Scientists are constantly researching, although much of it does not receive immediate attention. However, new discoveries are being made all the time, whether the public is aware of it or not; these new discoveries are constantly surprising the world. Moreover, some of these discoveries have the potential to change the world.
Quantum on one side, Zeta on the other
In August of this year, Japan suddenly announced plans to build such a computer that the entire computer world is now forced to think about it. No one has built such a computer before. They will build a new 'Zeta-class' supercomputer from next year. It is said that this supercomputer will work at zettaflops speed. This supercomputer will be able to work at a speed of 1000 times faster than today's fastest supercomputer. Even the most powerful supercomputers today have an exaflops speed. This means that they can solve 1 quintillion mathematical problems in 1 second. The question is, what is 1 quintillion? The amount that is obtained by adding 18 zeros after 1 is 1 quintillion. What, the problem is counting. Yes, this is the amount of calculations that today's supercomputers can solve in 1 second. This determines how powerful a computer really is.
Before this, the quantum computer has created a stir in the computer world. It does not look like a normal computer. This strange device made of many metal cylinders and twisted wires. It will solve all mathematical problems using complex equations of quantum mechanics. Normal computers work with two binary numbers 0 and 1. And quantum computers can not only represent 0 and 1 separately, but also represent 0 and 1 at the same time. In short, this computer can represent different states between 0 and 1. Quantum computers can perform multiple operations at the same time. The basic unit of this special computer is called quantum bits or qubits. Experts believe that quantum computers will be used more in the industrial sector. Google has found in a test that in some cases, the new quantum computer can work 100 million times faster than traditional processors.
AI child!
First a friend, then a pet. Now comes the AI version of a child. Scientists at China's Beijing Institute of General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI) have created an 'AI child' that can behave like a child using artificial intelligence technology. The child's name is Tong Tong. Scientists claim that this is the world's first AI child. Tong Tong's characteristics are that he can learn, adapt and interact with his virtual environment. This child of artificial intelligence can also identify and react to human emotions.
Space tourism!
The Carmen Line is 100 km above the Earth's surface. Beyond that line, the infinite, dark space begins. The Milky Way is clearly visible. Many people want to see this very rare sight with their own eyes. Until now, only astronauts had the opportunity. However, on April 28, 2001, that opportunity came to a common man. He became the world's first tourist in space. His vehicle was the Russian Soyuz TM-32. And through this, a new dimension was added to tourism - space travel. Commercially, that was the first journey into space. Russia and the United States were already in the space tourism business. After that, many people joined this business. It started with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO has also planned space tourism. This time, China has followed the same path. China's goal is to take tourists on a space trip within the next three years. Like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic, Gecko Aerospace is also following the same path.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence is a technology that, through data analysis, makes machines or applications work like human intelligence and thinking. This technology usually uses algorithms and machine learning facilities to analyze a huge database and provide results and predictions. People get tired when they work too much and need a break. But artificial intelligence technology does not need a break. It can quickly perform thousands of tasks at once and learn many new things in a very short time. Artificial intelligence technology basically provides various services by analyzing previous information. In addition to accurate information, due to human-like intelligence, the demand for artificial intelligence technology is increasing in various sectors including cybersecurity, video games, design, smart cars, data center management. Artificial intelligence technology is also developing with time.
Applications in which artificial intelligence is being used
When a machine is able to make decisions like an intelligent animal, that intelligence cannot be called natural intelligence. That intelligence is called artificial intelligence. In today's world, its use is increasing in all fields - from health sector, education to business and commerce and automobiles. It has been said that there is a 50 percent chance that AI will try to take control of everything within the next five to 20 years. The term artificial intelligence was first used by American computer scientist John McCarthy. In 1956, he brought together a few other computer science pioneers at a conference called the Dartmouth Summer Research Project.
At that conference, 'Artificial Intelligence' or artificial intelligence was recognized as a new, independent specialized research field in computer engineering. Almost all modern vehicles are controlled by some microcomputers. Autonomous driver less cars are running in many places. In many modern airports around the world, connecting trains from one terminal to another are running without drivers, automatic robots have taken over the responsibility of cleaning, and modern machines are handling immigration. Artificial intelligence is now being used everywhere in modern offices, banks, hospitals (medical science), business, sports, and agriculture. It is even possible to write essays, apply for jobs or vacations, create any reports, and even write songs and poems through artificial intelligence. All of the satellites floating in space are automatically controlled by artificial intelligence. Satellite navigation GPS, Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google search engine are amazing applications of artificial intelligence. Most of the activities of modern smartphones are included in artificial intelligence.
The biggest camera
Scientists have created the largest and most powerful camera after two decades of hard work. The camera was originally built for astronomy and astrophysics. This extraordinary instrument, called the Legacy Survey of Space and Time or LSST (Khzhzhzhjh), will play a role in gaining knowledge about the universe. The 3,200-megapixel resolution camera was built by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, USA. The camera is installed inside the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. The camera's lens is also 1.57 meters. It weighs 3,000 kg!
Oxygen in the human body
Chinese researchers have developed a new battery that runs on oxygen from the human body. As a result, the batteries used in various medical implants, including pacemakers, will not have to be replaced. This special battery will generate electricity using glucose and oxygen naturally produced in the human body. According to a research paper titled 'Enzymatic Biofuel Cell' in the scientific journal Chem, the batteries used in medical implants now have to be replaced regularly. If these batteries are used, the quality of life of patients will improve and medical costs will also decrease. However, this research is still in its early stages.
Not a complete robot, but a human made with robot limbs. Many people know him as a cyborg. A very popular character in science fiction. Although not a true cyborg, many people around the world are moving around with robotic limbs. Keeping that fictional character in mind, Thames and Cosmos is creating a robotic hand to assist in various tasks. The name is 'Mega Cyborg Hand'. Which looks like a human hand. Its plastic fingers will have the feeling of a human hand. It will not be powered by a motor or battery, but by air pressure, water and human touch. As a result, the victims can easily live a normal life.
Five G-WiFi 6
Five-G is the fifth generation of mobile phone internet. Which is called 5-G for short. Through it, internet information can be downloaded and uploaded much faster. On the other hand, the latest version of WiFi technology is 'WiFi 6'. Which is not only faster, but also has many advantages including more effective data encoding technology compared to the previous version 'WiFi 5'. Technology company Intel has said that with this new WiFi technology, every user will get four times faster speed than before, even in crowded areas. There will even be faster data transfer speed.
Smart transportation system
The world has come a long way in scientific advancement. Once upon a time, it used to take days to travel from one place to another. That is just the past. In today's world, people are not only dreaming of high-speed transportation systems, but also of driverless cars. Which will run automatically with electric power. It seems like science fiction, right? Not at all, thanks to technology, such automated cars are going to become a reality very soon. Tesla, Google, and Uber's driverless cars are currently being tested on the roads of various cities in the United States. According to The Week, Amazon's driverless car 'Robotaxi' has been launched on the roads of the US state of California for the first time. The car was tested by the robotaxi manufacturing company Zoox. Such automated cars will spread commercially within the next 15-20 years. What's more, the US Air Force is planning to launch air taxis as a means of transportation in the near future. An air taxi company in the United States will start transporting passengers from New York City to New York Airport in 2025. Germany's automobile club ADAC is planning to use Volocopters for aerial rescue operations. As a result, the world of fantasy is now becoming a reality. However, before that, governments of all countries are encouraging the use of electric vehicles (EVs) to mitigate the effects of climate change and prevent environmental pollution. The European Union (EU) wants to put 30 million EVs on the road by 2030. The United States and China are moving towards the goal of running 50 percent and 40 percent of cars on electricity, respectively, by 2030. As a result, the near future generations can get a pollution-free world. The future will be beautiful.
Incredible speed of a jet plane
It has been almost 20 years since the Concorde took flight. It was the fastest jet aircraft ever built by the UK and France. Its top speed was almost twice the speed of sound, or 1,354 miles per hour. Many years have passed since then. However, Colorado-based startup Boom has come a long way in building a supersonic aircraft. They have named this fast supersonic jet aircraft the Boom XB-1. It will fly twice as fast as today's commercial aircraft. This 71-foot-long futuristic aircraft was named one of Time magazine's best inventions. The report says it will be able to travel at incredible speeds. It will be able to travel from New York to London in less than half the time of current jets. It is expected that the Boom XB-1 will carry its first passengers in 2029.
Growing embryonic cells
Now researchers have worked with donated embryonic cells and found clues to the division of specific tissues. Have we ever wondered what we were like in the womb? Some more cells created from the union of two cells. More later. However, it is good to know that there are many restrictions in experiments with human embryonic cells. Earlier, experiments were only conducted with embryos of mice and other animals. But not everything is the same as in humans. Therefore, those results can never be conclusive for the human body. Now researchers have worked directly with donated embryonic cells. They have found several significant clues to the division of specific tissues. They found that the growing human embryonic cells are almost identical to the mouse embryonic cells in almost everything. It is not that there are not a few exceptions.
Scientists have found a way to repair brain cells damaged by a rare genetic disorder. A study published in the journal Nature shows that a drug called an antisense oligonucleotide allows neurons to develop normally in people with a mutation in a genetic disorder called Timothy syndrome. "This is the beginning of a new era for many diseases. We initially thought it was curable," Dr. Huda Zogbi, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, told NPR. Timothy syndrome is caused by a mutation in a single gene in a person's DNA. The new drug is an antisense nucleotide, a small piece of synthetic genetic material that is originally made by a cell, altering proteins.
The first unmanned aircraft was developed during World War I. Then, large-scale drones were used in the Vietnam War. Although they were designed for the military and aerospace industries, drones are used everywhere these days. Images of specific areas can be captured through cameras attached to drones. Using this facility, farmers can identify crop growth and diseases in the field. Large farmers use it on their farms. Drones are also being used to spray fertilizers and pesticides. In the medical field, emergency medicine-injection and vaccine delivery are now being done through drones. Any survey can be conducted with drones, dramas-movies and music videos can be captured.
