While you are reading this article, tens of thousands of scientists and engineers around the world are developing technologies of the future, thereby changing the world around us.
It is difficult to realize, being in the flow of time and daily routine, how high the speed of progress is.
Contents of the article
A hundred years ago, a four-engine all-wood (!) aircraft “Ilya Muromets” flew over the country, and now tourists (not even cosmonauts) surf the expanses of near-Earth orbit on space shuttles.
In the early 90s, the Nokia Mobira MD59-NB2 mobile phone weighed three (!) Kilograms and cost $5,000, and a quarter of a century later, a regular smartphone weighs about 200 g, it costs many times less and has a huge number of functions besides just phone calls.
Yes, we haven’t mastered anti-gravity yet, and our robots aren’t smart or smart, but it’s all just a matter of time.
3D printed and synthesized products
Many have heard of artificial meat made from vegetable protein and wagyu steaks produced in the laboratory. To make this “wagyu”, Japanese scientists use animal stem cells, which are placed in a nutrient medium and placed in a bioreactor, in which the formation of muscle, fat and connective tissue begins.
The resulting meat can already be cooked and served on the table. True, while its price is very high, but with the development of technology, it should equal and then become less than the cost of natural meat.
For a couple of years now, in the Moscow restaurant Twins Garden, you can try a 3D-printed squid made from beans, in appearance (and even in taste) it practically does not differ from the original.
For the last year, the Berezutsky brothers, together with scientists, have been working on “printing” fish and other products on a printer.

Another topical area of research is the synthesis of milk, dairy products and cheese. As it turned out, the dairy industry is not the most environmentally friendly, because it accounts for about 4-5% of carbon emissions. For comparison, aviation CO2 emissions into the atmosphere are two times less. At the same time, as it turned out, creating milk in the laboratory is much easier than growing a couple of steaks there.
In 2014, scientist Ryan Pandya decided to make a cream cheese cake, for which he tried to make cream cheese from soybeans. The attempt failed. Then Pandya founded Perfect Day and developed “precision fermentation” technology to produce lactose-free products containing casein and whey proteins, which are no different from those found in cow’s milk.
For the new technology, scientists use microorganisms (usually Trichoderma fungi). Thanks to the nucleotide sequence changed by scientists, fungi begin to produce casein and whey proteins. These proteins are dried and used as ingredients for the production of dairy products and cheese.
Artificial milk is considered more beneficial for humans, as it is produced without the use of antibiotics and hormones that are fed to cows.
Artificial eyes
Arnold Schwarzenegger should not immediately be remembered as the Terminator with bright red glowing “eyes”. Reality is much less cinematic. Three years ago, scientists in Belgium were able to create an iris in the laboratory, which they managed to communicate with “smart” lenses that correct visual impairments.
And in January 2021, in Israel, scientists performed an operation to transplant an artificial cornea to a completely blind person. The implant fused with human tissues, and after the completion of the rehabilitation process, the patient was finally able to see his relatives and even read the newspaper.
Such developments are carried out constantly and in different directions. So, in Hong Kong, scientists presented an exact electrochemical copy of the human eye, which is still inferior in resolution quality to a real human organ, but surpasses it many times over in response to lighting changes.
The role of the retina in it is played by photoconverters made of perovskite, which is used for the production of solar cells. And thin wires made of “liquid metal” (an alloy of gallium and indium) mimic the nerve fibers that connect the eye to the brain and transmit signals to external circuits in the brain.
Surgical sutures that signal an infection
Two years ago, 17-year-old Iowa schoolgirl Dacia Taylor presented scientists with surgical sutures that can warn doctors about an infection in a wound by changing their color from bright red to dark.
This allows you not to miss the moment and start treatment on time, saving the patient’s life.
Everything ingenious is simple. One day, Dasia noticed how beets change their color under the influence of changes in the acidity of the environment (pH). The acidity level of our skin is approximately 5.
The effect of an incipient infection on a wound increases the acidity in this place to a level of 8-9 and, accordingly, the beetroot juice changes its color and becomes dark purple.
By the way, the usual mixture of cotton and polyester was suitable as a material for surgical sutures.
Vest – heart rate monitor
Sports bracelets and smartwatches are no longer surprising, however, as practice shows, these are not the most accurate measurement tools. Especially when it comes to counting the calories burned during cardio training.
Kymira, which makes smart materials and specialty smart fitness apparel, has launched a T-shirt that reads heart rate data.
This was realized thanks to the use of a conductor printed on the fabric of the T-shirt.
It is able to read data and transfer it to the cloud using the Bluetooth protocol. And already there, artificial intelligence algorithms analyze them comprehensively, which makes it possible to timely detect deviations in the rhythm of heartbeats that are fraught with health.
A battery charged with human sweat
Scottish scientists from the University of Glasgow have managed to create a new type of “ionistor” (aka “supercapacitor”), in which human sweat plays the role of electrolyte.
It turned out that only 20 microliters of sweat is enough to fully charge such a supercapacitor.
A piece of special composite fabric (such as a watch strap) is coated with a very thin layer of polymer that acts as an electrode. When the fabric is saturated with sweat during exercise, negative and positive ions interact with the polymer, starting an electrochemical reaction, which in turn generates an electric current.
Such a device is still more expensive and more complex than conventional batteries, but does not contain any harmful substances, can be easily disposed of and can withstand more than 4000 flexion/extension cycles.
Flying taxis
Residents of megacities literally suffocate from constant traffic jams, spending hours of their precious time in them. Therefore, plans for the development of alternative transport have become extremely relevant now – the construction of transport hubs for electric taxis and delivery drones.
The project was driven by the German company Volocopter, which promotes the idea of a new urban air mobility and plans to start using its flying electric taxis in Japan as early as 2024, and by 2030 their mobiles will carry not only people, but also heavy loads.
The company has three unique projects in its arsenal: VoloCity passenger taxi, VoloDrone powerful cargo drones, and VoloConnect mobiles for long-distance flights.
All devices are equipped with a vertical take-off system, which is extremely important in the closeness of megacities.
Touchable virtual reality
American scientists have created and continue to improve a prototype of a device that can make touch felt inside virtual reality.
This project is realized thanks to a special flexible material based on silicone, equipped with microscopic vibrating elements, which can be attached to the skin. Using the NFC protocol, such a “skin” is connected to a computer and enters virtual reality. Why is this necessary? For example, you can hug your loved one while being a thousand kilometers away.
Or, if we talk about medicine, then this is a replacement of the skin in prosthetic limbs with excellent sensitivity.
Another option is to use for gamers. Can you imagine how much more realistic the game will become in the horror shooter Eternal Evil? Yes, exchanging blows with zombies and your premature death will become quite painful, but this will increase the involvement in the game many times over.
Digital Twins
Q Bio has realized an idea that has wandered from one sci-fi novel to another, creating the Q Bio Gemini digital twin platform.
This system is able to create a scalable virtual model of a person with maximum information about the state of his health. This was realized thanks to the Q Bio Mark I automated scanner, which is able to quickly collect information about the patient’s health and the risks that threaten him, and then analyze all the data obtained, based on anatomical and biochemical changes associated with lifestyle, medical history and human genetic risk factors. .
The scan itself is not capable of causing an attack of claustrophobia (as is the case with MRI), because it is carried out in an open area. In an hour of scanning, the system is able to measure about a hundred different biomarkers – the level of body fat, various inflammations, predisposition to a certain type of cancer, etc. All this data is used to create a digital 3D patient avatar (aka “digital twin”), which is updated with the next scan and can be used by doctors to make a diagnosis.
Energy Saving Bricks
In St. Louis, scientists at Washington University have come up with a method that turns simple bricks into smart ones that can store energy like a battery. According to scientists, the walls of a building made of such bricks are capable of storing a fair amount of energy and are constantly being recharged.
A highly relevant building material in light of the ongoing energy crisis.
How is it implemented? Scientists apply a special conductive coating called Pedot to the brick, which seeps through its porous structure, turning the brick into a real battery that can store energy. This process is facilitated by iron oxide, which is contained in bricks.
“Live concrete”
American scientists and engineers at the University of Colorado at Boulder, after many years of research, were able to create the so-called “live concrete”, capable of independently repairing the damage that occurs on it.
Would you say fantasy? No, reality.
