10 BREAKTHROUGH

TECHNOLOGIES 2018
PRESENTATION BY ROSEMARY ODIPE AND IQRA ISHTIAQ
NUMBER 1ONE;
3D METAL PRINTING
(AVAILABLE NOW)

• In short terms; (e.g.) manufacturers wouldn’t


need to maintain large inventories they could simply
print an object, such as a replacement part for an
aging car, whenever someone needs it.

• In long term; (e.g.) large factories that mass-


produce a limited range of parts might be replaced
by smaller ones that make a wider variety, adapting
to customers’ changing needs
NUMBER 2TWO;
ARTIFICIAL EMBRYOS
(AVAILABLE NOW)

The researchers placed the cells carefully in a


three-dimensional scaffold and watched,
fascinated, as they started communicating and
lining up into the distinctive bullet shape of a
mouse embryo several days old.
Zernicka-Goetz says her “synthetic” embryos
probably couldn’t have grown into mice.
Nonetheless, they’re a hint that soon we
could have mammals born without an egg at all.
NUMBER 3THREE;
SENSING CITY;
(AVAILABILITY; ANNOUNCED IN OCT 2017
CONSTRUCTION STARTS IN 2019)

Projects goals;
• base decision about design, policy and
technology on information from extensive
networks of sensors that gather data on
everything from air quality to noise levels
to people’s activities.
• All vehicles are autonomous and shared.
• Robots roam underground doing menial
chores like delivering the mail.
NUMBER 4FOUR;
AI FOR EVERYBODY
(AVAILABLE NOW)

Company trying to make AI easily accessible;


• Microsoft, (which has its own AI-powered cloud
platform, Azure, is teaming up with amazon to offer
gluon.)
Currently AI is used mostly in the tech industry, where it has
created efficiencies and produced new products and services.
But many other businesses and industries have struggled to
take advantage of the advances in artificial intelligence.
Sectors such as medicine, manufacturing, and energy could
also be transformed if they were able to implement the
technology more fully, with a huge boost to economic
productivity
NUMBER 5FIVE;
DUELING NEURAL NETWORK
(AVAILABLE NOW)

Breakthrough;
Two AI systems can spar with each other to create
ultra-realistic original images or sounds,
something machines have never been able to do
before.
Key players in this project;

• Google brain
• Deep mind
• NVidia
NUMBER 6SIX;
BABEL-FISH EARBUDS
(AVAILABLE NOW)
How it works;

One person wears the earbuds, while the other holds


a phone. The earbud wearer speaks in his or her
language—English is the default—and the app
translates the talking and plays it aloud on the phone.
The person holding the phone responds; this response
is translated and played through the earbuds.
Companies making this;
1. Google
2. Baidu.
NUMBER 7SEVEN;
ZERO-CARBON NATURAL
GAS
(AVAILABLE IN 3-5 YEARS)

Around 32 percent of US electricity is


produced with natural gas, accounting for
around 30 percent of the power sector’s
carbon emissions.
Companies doing this are;
1. 8 river capital
2. Exelon generation
3. CB&I
NUMBER 8EIGHT;
PERFECT ONLINE PRIVACY
(AVAILABLE NOW)

This is great if you need to disclose personal


information to get something done online, it
will be easier to do so without e=risking your
privacy or exposing yourself to identify theft,
People working on this;
1. Zcash
2. JPMorgan chase
3. ING
NUMBER 9NINE;
GENETIC FORTUNE TELLING
(AVAILABLE NOW)

This is great because scientists can now use your genome to


predict your chances of getting heart disease or breast cancer,
and even your IQ.
DNA-based predictions could be the next great public health
advance, but they will increase the risks of genetic discrimination.
Key players in this project;
1. Helix
2. 23 and me
3. Myriad genetics
4. UK biobank
5. Broad institute
NUMBER 10TEN;
MATERIALS QUANTUM LEAP
(AVAILABLE IN 5-10 YEARS)
The prospect of powerful new quantum computers comes
with a puzzle. They’ll be capable of feats of computation
inconceivable with today’s machines one likely possibility
to use this power can be precisely designing molecules
this will help design more effective drugs and better
materials for generating and distributing energy.
Companies making this right now;
1. IBM
2. Google
3. Harvard's Alan asparagusic
