Inventory: The five big leap-forward technologies worthy of anticipation

[Global Science and Technology Report] According to the Japan Life hacker website on July 20, the scientific magazine Scientific American published an article on future emerging technologies on June 27. Every year, the magazine will make a summary report with the theme of “Breakthrough Solution” and introduce rankings of breakthrough technology projects that can change the world. The items that are generally selected must meet the following conditions: They have development prospects, but they are not yet universal, and they are still at the stage of research funding.

Then we will introduce the science and technology representative projects and investment companies that will be listed on the list.

1. Low-injury biopsy

Generally doing routine biopsy will cut the diseased tissue and its suspected lesions, not only deepening the patient's illness but also easily lead to some complications. Moreover, this inspection is not only time consuming, but it may also detect some tumors that are present in hidden locations. However, if you use a blood test method, that is, liquid biopsy, you can avoid these hidden dangers. However, there is still a technology that has yet to be defeated in this method, that is, the means of analyzing DNA (tumor circulating tumor DNA, also known as ctDNA) that causes the growth of tumor cells in the blood remains to be researched and developed. This technology can not only detect tumor cells, but also provide a basis for the patient's follow-up treatment options. Compared with previous techniques, it can better determine whether the patient should receive further special treatment.

2. Agricultural precision instruments

There is some truth in investing more in the use of precision instruments in agriculture. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), GPS, analysis software, etc., it can help farmers to better manage their crops, increase their output, and increase the efficiency of agricultural production. Especially for farm families in areas that rely on heaven for food, these technologies will bring great changes to them.

New start-up companies such as Aerofarms, Green Spirit Farms and Urban Produce are mainly engaged in the development of greenhouse vegetable cultivation projects. Through the use of appeal techniques to analyze the growth cycle of crops in detail, they strive to maximize production and improve product taste. Some companies, including Blue River Technology, will use computer vision information processing technology to control the reduction of the amount of fertilizers. Controlling fertilizer use by effective fertilization at the original level of 10% can be a major breakthrough.

3. Sustainable energy

To create environmentally sustainable cities, environmental friendliness and maximization of economic benefits are two factors that must be taken into account. In this way, companies and residents can save energy consumption. For example, Sidewalk Labs, which is independent from Google, is constantly searching for new experimental areas in order to find out whether there are large-scale and operative investigations. One of the regions was exhibited as a model for simulating future urban appearance. Solar energy and new energy vehicles powered by sustainable energy were put on the development agenda. In 2016, there were rumors that the trial site of the project would take place between Denver, the capital of Colorado, and Detroit, Michigan. Immediately after, in May 2017, the officially established Canadian city of Toronto would become the project's implementation city. The next series of experiments will be launched.

4. Image recognition technology

Artificial intelligence (AI technology) has made major breakthroughs in the face recognition functions used in various APPs. For example, on FACEBOOK, the system can identify any face and object in the user's uploaded photos, or achieve the search function for the captured objects. Based on GOOGLE image recognition software, a new platform named "PlaNet" was launched. The software can use the individual logos, plants, and landmarks in the image as a clue to infer the location of the photo. A research team of Stanford University announced in 2017 that the team has passed the test of AI technology that can identify skin cancer cells. The accuracy will reach more than 90%, so the results of this research are once again for the field of dermatology. Major breakthroughs.

5. Extract water resources from the air

If we can extract water resources from the air, it will be a wonderful technology! This is especially true for arid regions. According to a report in Scientific American magazine, a joint research team at the University of California at Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is developing this technology. The key step is that parts that are called "metal organic structures" need to further increase their porosity in order to make them a system that can store more water resources.

On the other hand, Zero Mass Water, a startup company based in Arizona, will develop water extraction methods that are different from appeal methods. According to an article published by Scientific American, the company aims to develop a material system that can use solar energy to absorb moisture. The system is equipped with a solar panel price of about 3700 US dollars. Two to five liters of water can be collected within one day. The company has set up the product in the United States, Jordan, Dubai, Mexico and other places. Recently, in order to solve the problem of drinking water for Syrian refugees, the water collection device has been sent to Lebanon. (Internship Compilation: Hu Rui Rui reviewer: Wang Huan)
