Quantum computing takes advantage of the strange ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Operations can be done much more quickly and use less energy than classical computers.

Sustainable design of communities is applying green construction to multiple buildings at once, sending locally-generated solar power to reduce electricity consumption and reduce carbon emissions to zero.

A genomics-based approach to vaccines also enables more rapid adaptation in the event of a pathogen mutating and allows scientists to identify people who are resistant to a pathogen, isolate the antibodies that provide that protection, and design a gene sequence that will induce a person’s cells to produce those antibodies.

The technology aims at reducing reliance on platinum which causes the high price of catalysts, and creating catalysts that include no platinum, or in some cases no metal at all.

This technology allows farming to use a new set of tools such as sensors, robots, GPS, mapping tools and data-analytics software to customize the care that plants need.

The Human Cell Atlas is an international collaboration which aims to identify cell types, genes, their locations, their functions.

In this technology, sunlight-activated catalysts are used to split water molecules into water and hydrogen and then the same hydrogen is used to convert CO2 into hydrocarbons.

Thanks to deep learning ability of computers, an emerging field of artificial intelligence, computer-vision technologies are increasingly being used in diverse applications.

Firms across the world are eager to find new technologies that enable extraction of water from air.

Liquid biopsies, marking a step forward in the fight against cancer, provide a full spectrum of information compared to tissue samples, which only reflect the information available in the sample
