Emerging Technologies That Will Change The World

ridable robots cyborg insects and machines that recreate the inner workings of stars what do these have in common they all exist and they're about to take over the world it turns out the most imaginative innovators of our time have some mindboggling plans for the future of planet Earth and they're already underway from levitating vehicles to real life symbiotes and robotic sneakers that walk for you let's take a sneak peek into the future with these emerging technologies that will change the wor

ld World 3D printed heart it's said that some people have a heart of gold While others have a Heart of Stone but what about a heart of 3D printed bioink in 2019 researchers at Tel Aviv University engineered the world's first 3D printed human heart complete with genuine blood vessels and Chambers they achieved this using human stem cells which have the unique ability to create any body tissue by differentiating themselves into new cell types the stem cells were mixed with a gel-like quote unquote

bio ink made of modified proteins and collagen to convert them into cardiac tissue this mixture was then 3D printed into the artificial organ pretty Bonkers right while the heart produced by Tel Aviv University was only the size of a rabbit's heart and couldn't beat autonomously it's still a groundbreaking step in the treatment of heart disease which is the leading cause of death in the United States instead of waiting on donor organs which are very rare and often biologically incompatible with

patients doctors of the future could simply print partial or full-size functional Hearts engineered from the patients's own stem cells while scaling this up for humans and getting the hearts to function correctly are still some distance away this promising advancement could reform heart surgeries around the world and be honest wouldn't you kind of like to 3D print your own spare heart you could name it and keep it on your mantle piece to freak out guests all robots Great and Small from chariot

races to Formula 1 racing Sports have certainly seen great change throughout history but what if I told you the big racing Sports of the future might involve massive mechanized exoskeletons in 2020 Canadian company EXO Sapien Technologies revealed prosthesis the world's largest four-legged exoskeleton standing 14 ft tall and weighing a colossal 9,000 lb this fully operational all electric mech suit can generate 200 horsepower which it uses to gallop at speeds of up to 21 mph its creators plan to

scale the technology into an international Mech Sports league with trained Mecca athletes racing through complex Obstacle Courses by piloting their own prosthesis prototypes to become a class one Mech pilot you need to complete complete a 5-day boot camp at the official Mech Ranch in the mountains of British Columbia for a small fee of just under $20,000 ouch with enough interest future Generations might be crowding into stadiums to watch these massive machines go head-to-head in Mech racing Wo

rld Championships even if that Vision doesn't play out giant exoskeleton technology could still have major implications for the construction industry smaller exoskeletons like the exov vest are already being used to boost upper body strength of construction workers by 15 lbs but prosthesis would represent a massive upgrade to this its industrial grade hydraulic limbs amplify the Pilot's strength by 50 times allowing large and heavy objects to be lifted dragged or crushed with ease while they don

't quite possess the power output of Pacific Rims Jaggers just yet these giant exoskeletons could very well be the pioneers of Humanity's highly mechanized future if you want one as badly as I do let me know down in the comments below at the opposite end of the Spectrum in 2022 engineers at Northwestern University revealed a collection of the world's smallest ever remote controlled robots each just 1 15th of an inch wide these crab-like micro robots are made of a shape memory alloy which deforms

under heat and returns to its original shape when cool this process of heating and cooling controlled by a scanning laser beam moves the robot's joints basically allowing it to walk while pretty neat just to observe this technology could open up new possibilities across multiple Industries manufacturers could utilize micro robots to assemble or repair microscopic components and products doctors could deploy them as minimally invasive surgical assistance to clear clogged arteries or eliminate ca

at the same time made up of suspended magnetic iron oxide nanop particles when there's no magnet around these particles move freely giving ferrofluid its liquid appearance however when held near a magnet the liquid automatically reshapes itself into an organized spiky formation in perfect alignment with usually invisible magnetic field lines but this symbiote is far more than just a magnetic performer when the first ferof fluid was invented by NASA engineer Steve paple back in 1963 the original

idea was that if these magnetic particles were added to Rocket Fuel NASA would be able to move it around in zero gravity with a magnetic field while that idea didn't pan out ferrofluid has still been able to continuously change the morphing face of Technology ever since its invention today ferof fluid can be found in some fascinating applications here you can see the stuff suspended in water inside a loudspeaker that actively adapts its electromagnetic field based on audio input signals making

the ferof fluid dance groovy Venom groovy it's also used in regular loudspeakers to dampen vibrations as well as in computer hard drives but some scientists believe that it could be a game Cher in revolutionizing medical science due to its magnetic Nature ferrofluid has been proposed by some scientists for magnetic drug targeting in this process life-saving medication would be immersed in a ferof fluid and injected into a patient doctors would then be able to use changing magnetic fields to dire

ct the medication Laden ferrofluid to its specific Target in the body while Venom isn't exactly the poster child for preservation of human life it turns out the real life counterpart could ultimately prove a true super superhero futuristic Footwear there's no doubt that the likes of Nike and Adidas are the top dogs when it comes to Sneakers but now there's a new kick on the Block that might just revolutionize the future of walking the city glider is a high-tech Next Generation Footwear that can

effortlessly increase the Walker's speed and walking distance proposed by Singaporean designer Frederick Fu the frankly insane City glider is designed Ed to compress a pair of hydraulic Pistons hidden inside the shoe every time the wearer's heel hits the ground these Pistons then release that pressure when the wearer reaches the midstance position in their stride propelling them forward with every step by an additional few inches kind of like a reverse moonwalk but with the tricky part done for

you as you slide on ahead and thanks to its innovative shape and lightweight materials like carbon fiber the city glider also has a shock absorption effect which helps protect the wearer's joints and reduces foot pain it's the perfect blend of fashion and functionality designed to encourage walking over Motor Vehicles for short Journeys hopefully reducing Road congestion accidents and gas emissions So Not only would City gliders bring a futuristic flare to your wardrobe they might also benefit s

ntinue to play an intrinsic role in modern manufacturing physicists have also started to UTI ize strong magnets in the pursuit of near Limitless clean energy via nuclear fusion in a process known as magnetic confinement Fusion a swirling soup of hydrogen atoms or hydrogen Isotopes to be precise are heated to the extream until they become plasma this hot plasma is confined and pressurized by an intense electromagnetic field generated inside a large donut-shaped device called a tokomak after being

heated to over 100 80 million de F eventually there's a chance the hydrogen Isotopes will begin to fuse forming helium like they do in the heart of a sun it's a process that releases enormous amounts of energy but is incredibly hard to initiate and maintain as the plasma tends to cool after initial fusion occurs but how exactly does it kick off in the first place tokumx typically produce an insanely strong plasma inducing electromagnetic fields by passing an electric current through the large c

oils of copper wire which surround the plasma containment chamber copper is pretty inefficient for this purpose though so in 2021 researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed an electromagnet that uses high temperature superconducting materials instead of copper coils this material creates stronger long lasting electromagnetic fields than had ever previously been recorded on earth which very handily minimizes that pesky Fusion in plasma cooling we just heard about and less

cooling means more harvestable energy the Nifty material also allows tokumx to take up 40 times less volume making them both quicker and cheaper to build while Fusion generated energy is a huge focus of the scientific Community it's not ready to be used as a mainstream commercial power source just yet given that it requires a lot more energy to induce Fusion than can be harvested from it but physicists do have high hopes for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor set to open in Fra

as high-tech farming is concerned humans are just getting started while this might look like the Unholy spawn of some love crafty and Abomination what you're looking at here is the farming method of the future it's known as aeroponics in which plants are grown entirely without soil instead roots are suspended in the air and irrigated with with a nutrient-dense Mist to help them grow because the nutrients are administered directly to the roots and not absorbed by the soil the aeroponic method us

es up to 90% less water which also leaves the plants less vulnerable to pests and diseases not only that but aeroponic farming has been found to produce healthier crops five times faster than traditional farming it's particularly effective for harvesting tubers like potatoes which despite growing normally from Roots underground can produce over 10 times bigger yields when grown aeroponically as global population growth relentlessly increases demand for food while simultaneously reducing the reso

urces and farmland needed to balance it the benefits of aeroponic Technology are becoming ever more important considering aeroponic Farms can be set up anywhere including stacked up and skyscrapers the ultra spatially efficient method is currently Gathering momentum worldwide with countless aeroponic Farms now stationed across America's Europe the Middle East and India but get this the promise of aeroponic Technology might even transcend our home planet since 1999 NASA has been refining an infla

equally as sustainable as it is frankly cool as hell graphine gyroids since its Discovery in 2004 researchers around the world have champed graphine as the so-called Wonder material of the future not only is it the strongest material currently known to man given that it's essentially a sheet of carbon one atom thick it's also even lighter than paper and it's highly electrically conductive so why isn't this technology being utilized in every corner of the earth now well current production method

s are too expensive to be viable at Mass scale but once the manufacturing side catches up there are some astounding applications waiting in 17 researchers at MIT designed this bizarre three-dimensional sponge-like structure known as a gyroid they tested the strength of this unique geometric formation by 3D printing a model using a pink commercial plastic then subjecting it to a hydraulic press compression test the thin walled model held up extremely well under an increasingly massive load compar
