MIT sees some breakthrough technologies in 2023 |
In MIT Technology Review magazine, which can be the best technology of 2023, it has come out in detail. Among these, the article named 'Ten Breakthrough Technologies 2023' has come up with some of the best possible technologies of this year. Find out about all those technologies in brief…
James Webb Space Telescope
Undoubtedly the most talked about science event of the past year was the release of images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The James Webb Novodurbin was sent into space on December 25 last year after nearly two decades of operation. After 30 days of space travel, it reached the second Lagrange point about 1.5 million km from Earth. About six months later, on July 12, 2022, NASA released some of the images taken by this new telescope for the first time. The whole world was shocked. Among the images taken by the Novodrunken, which is able to detect light waves, were about 13.5 billion light-years away in deep space, the birth and death of stars, the evolution of galaxies, the presence of water on planets outside the solar system, and much more. These pictures are not only breathtaking; By analyzing them, astronomers have learned about the distant past of space. As far as humans have been able to see the past space, with the help of this new telescope, the limit has been crossed. All in all, it can be said that the new horizon of human space exploration has been started through this telescope. James Webb's many surprises will continue this year as well.
'Crisper' technology to control high cholesterol
Verve Therapeutics, a US-based biotechnology company, has worked on whether the damage to the body caused by a heart attack can be prevented instead of cured. In 2022, they applied their invented treatment to the human body.
LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood is considered a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. This cholesterol is caused by a special gene. In this treatment, the gene is permanently inactivated using CRISPR technology. Clinical trials on monkeys showed that this treatment reduced cholesterol levels by 70 percent in just two weeks. Even this condition remains stable for about a year. In 2022, the company applied the treatment to humans experimentally in the UK and New Zealand. People with a genetic defect that causes high cholesterol in their blood are initially selected for the human trials.
At least three people were given this treatment in November last year. Verve Therapeutics officials hope to have data from these trials by the middle of the new year. If the results are positive, there will be incredible changes in the medical field.
Art created by artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence has surprised people in the past few years by providing organized answers to questions on any subject or creating artwork. Two AIs developed by technology company OpenAI—ChatGpit and Dal—were released to the public last year. One answers questions in writing, the other creates pictures with commands. The journey to midjourney began earlier. In addition to these, there is Google's image creation artificial intelligence Imagen. There is stable definition. Last year, AI was used not only to draw pictures, but also to create videos. In the near future, artificial intelligence may be able to create entire movies with script, not just pictures or videos. But there is no way to say anything about this right now. Because, a group of artists filed a lawsuit against AIRT software in the United States about this process of creating new images using the images of different artists. The future of such uses of artificial intelligence will depend on the outcome of this case and many other related issues.
But this much can be said, the addition of artificial intelligence in various software and tools of media and daily work will increase this year. Artificial intelligence that can do even more amazing things will be seen this year.
Organ preparation and transplantation
People often need organ transplants to live healthy. Around 130,000 organs are transplanted worldwide every year. But many times people die while waiting for organs. That is, organs are not readily available.
The use of animal organs could have been a possibility in this case. But the matter is not easy. The human body does not accept things that come from outside.
In the future, therefore, it is unwise to use animals as a source of organ demand. Instead, scientists are trying how to create organs artificially. For that they are taking help of 3D printing.
In the long term, artificial organ factories can be seen. The effect of which may be seen this year. However, it still takes about 10 to 15 years to complete the manufacturing of effective artificial organs and the construction of transplant factories.
A new era of chip design
Ever wondered how your smartphone connects to a Bluetooth speaker made by another company? Because, all companies mean a standard standard in Bluetooth technology. These standards are called design specifications for the technology. That is, what wavelength the technology will use and what its data encoding protocol will be, is open to all. In addition to Bluetooth, Ethernet, WiFi, PDF etc. are also standard. These open standards are known as RISC-V or RISK Five. Anyone can view these standards for free. Computer chips can be made accordingly.
Chip manufacturing companies like Intel or AMD keep the design of their processors or chips to themselves. As a result, if hardware or software made by a company is to be run using this chip, it has to be made suitable for the chip. Some design specifications have to be procured from the chip manufacturing company to enable this.
Risk Five is a great initiative to overcome this limitation. About 3,100 organizations worldwide are now associated with Risk Five. Among them are various companies and academic institutions. In February last year, Intel announced $1 billion funding for the development of Risk Five.
Currently, Risk Five technology is widely used in the manufacture of earbuds, hard drives and chips for artificial intelligence. Technology experts believe that within a few years, chips made of this technology will be seen in almost all devices. The advancement of new horizons in chip design will be well seen this year.
Ancient DNA analysis
Scientists have long been waiting for better tools to study the teeth and bones of ancient humans. Earlier, finding suitable samples for research was quite difficult.
Damaged DNA can now be sequenced commercially using cost-effective techniques and new methods. As a result, the task of analyzing ancient DNA has become much easier.
Scientists have even analyzed DNA not from materials such as teeth or bones, but from microscopic portions of Neanderthal human urine found in the soil. These studies came to the fore when Swedish geneticist Svante Pabo was awarded the Nobel Prize in November last year for his work on the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.
Research on these ancient DNAs not only tells us about the past, but also provides clues on how to prevent many diseases or abnormalities in the future. So this year the scientific community will be busy with ancient gene analysis.
Battery recycling
With the increase in electric vehicles, the demand for lithium ion batteries is increasing. According to experts, this demand will increase by 20 times by the year 2050.
To meet this demand, old batteries need to be recycled or recycled. But this recyclability needs to be commercially viable and environmentally friendly at the same time.
Currently, recycling facilities can separate about 80 percent of the lithium and about 100 percent of the cobalt and nickel from old batteries. Other materials such as aluminum, copper or graphene can also be recovered in good quantities.
China currently leads the battery recycling industry. Large scale battery companies like CALT are also under them. Recently the European Union has adopted guidelines for battery recycling. Battery manufacturing companies in every EU country must comply with the policy.
The demand for batteries has grown tremendously over the past few decades. Recycling is not the only solution to meet this demand. Currently, the battery recycling process is also not completely perfect. But battery recycling companies can supply some of this increased demand. Safe recycling can also accelerate global climate change.
The irresistible electric car
Electric cars are changing the car industry or market. Initially people were less attracted to such cars. But now the situation is different. According to the International Energy Agency, 13 percent of new cars and trucks sold worldwide in 2022 were electric vehicles. But two years ago the number was only 4 percent. By 2030, electric car sales could reach 30 percent, the company said.
All in all, it looks like electric cars will be used more this year. Accordingly, the production will also increase.
Huge market for military drones
For almost a decade, the United States has maintained its dominance in the field of warfare with its high-tech drones. However, the picture of the ongoing battlefield in Ukraine is somewhat different. Here are used various relatively low-cost drones made by China, Iran or Turkey. The technology of operating these drones is also different.
Among these drones, if you want to talk about a drone separately, you have to talk about 'Beiraqtar TB2'. This drone worth 50 million dollars was made by Turkish company Baker Corporation.
The drone can fly at a maximum speed of 138 miles per hour. Can communicate from a distance of about 186 miles. The manufacturer claims that it can fly for about 27 hours on a single charge. Apart from this, this drone called TB2 can send video directly to the control room. There is a laser controlled bomb carrying and throwing device.
In short, it's an awfully ideal weapon for conducting remote warfare. Its most important aspect is its accessibility. Drones like the US 'Reaper' are richer. But they are also expensive. There are export complications. But 'TB Two' doesn't have those problems.
In 2016, the Turkish military used these drones against the Kurds. Drones have since been used by Azerbaijan during wars against Libya, Syria, Ethiopia and Armenia.
In 2019, Ukraine bought six TB2s for military operations in Donbass. Drones became a topic of interest for militaries around the world in early 2022. Because, at that time, these drones were used by Ukraine to prevent the attack of Russia.
Using such drones in war is undoubtedly advantageous. This has created a huge market for military drones around the world. But at the same time, experts believe that the increase in the use of such drones will put the security of civilian life at greater risk around the world.
