FX.co ★ A Future Within Reach: 8 fantastic technologies becoming reality

Experts believe that the active introduction of innovations will change our world beyond recognition. They think that our future will be more technological, and life will become more interesting and easier in terms of everyday life. We bring to your attention the developments that are being conducted in this direction.

Neuromorphic chips

Neuromorphic engineering is one of the modern innovative directions. It is a kind of attempt to imitate the functions of the human brain. Its goal is the creation of neuromorphic chips. Scientists have developed an artificial data processing system consisting of small boards simulating neurons. In many ways, this technology is comparable to the human brain. The development of neuromorphic chips will help scientists create a super-fast processor, on which smartphones, computers, and robots will operate.

Accumulator on organic radicals

The battery, working on organic radicals (ORB), will help scientists solve the problem of short battery life of smartphones. Thanks to it the activity of gadgets will be longer. Similar batteries appeared in 2005. They are not yet available to the mass consumer, but work on this technology is in full swing. ORB is based on organic radical polymers and flexible plastics. Solid organic radicals are converted to gel and mixed with the carbon base. ORB is much more powerful than lithium-ion batteries.

Hyperloop Vacuum Train

The idea of creating such a train had been existing for a long time until Elon Musk decided to implement it. Hyperloop is a transport system where capsules on air cushions transport passengers through the pipes in conditions of low pressure at a speed of about 1000 km/h. For its implementation, the technology of magnetic levitation is being developed. The high cost of the project hinders the final solution of the issue.

Smartphone-display

A smartphone consisting only of a display is an old dream of IT developers. With the advent of each new model, experts note the increase in the area of mobile devices. Perhaps the next Samsung phone from the Galaxy S series will consist of a 95% display. The remaining 5% will be occupied by the front camera. The ideal phone, according to the idea of the developers, consists only of a display, without frames.

Vertical farms

According to experts, by 2050 the world population will reach 9 billion, and 80% of them will live in megacities. To feed so many people, special areas of land will be required. The problem will be solved by erecting vertical farms, practical and ecological facilities. A vertical farm is a special complex of high-rise greenhouses. Such farms already exist in Singapore and Japan and demonstrate high efficiency. It consumes 40% less energy, 80% less fertilizer and 99% less water than a regular farm.

Modular housing

The extinction of villages and the overpopulation of cities are one of the key trends of recent decades. The desire of people to settle in big cities leads to a rise in the cost of real estate. Modular homes will make housing more affordable, experts believe. Simplicity in construction, mass production, and universal design reduce the cost of these houses.

Autonomous cars

Experts consider self-driving cars the most expected technology of the near future. At the moment, there are unmanned vehicles in the world, but this technology requires improvement. When such cars-robots can independently make optimal decisions on the roads, then we should expect a revolutionary breakthrough, experts are sure.

Development of 3D-printing

The inexhaustible potential lies in the innovative technology of 3D printing which is actively used all over the world. In medicine, it is used to print implants, in the space industry, to create appropriate instruments directly in orbit, etc. Using a 3D printer, you can build an unmanned plane or build a house. In the near future it will be possible to print anything directly on the home computer, experts believe.
