The 21st century can be called the age of innovations, wouldn’t you agree? This is possible because of groundbreaking technology that has been made possible and the 24/7/365 research that just keeps going on in every aspect of science. Internet has made transfer of information lightning fast and has contributed a lot to the new innovations. There are so many innovations that it’s almost impossible to keep track of them. Today we bring you the list of top 10 most amazing innovations that we believe are to hit the market in near future! So here you are folks, a glimpse of what the future holds!
10. The Chemputer
Still at the concept factory, this idea is quite amazing and might just work! Ok, so we have already heard about 3D printers and some of us might have used them. This, Chemputer, is a similar idea except that it takes things to the next level; molecular level. Just as the 3D printer can print a design into a form of object, this device will be able to print your medication. What? Yes it would. Coupled with a mixture of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, this medicine printer would be able to print out your prescription in the form of medication and imagine the new possibilities this idea generates! You could have your medicine while you are at home and this could improve healthcare globally. The idea will definitely have a drastic effect on pharmaceutical industry too!9. Next-generation biofuels
Fossil fuels are expensive and not to mention, scarce. Biofuels were once considered to be the solution but they rely on edibles for their production and that is affecting Food industry. Scientists have come up with the idea of net-generation biofuels which would be derived from non-edibles and they are hoping to meet a quarter of world fuel requirement with this by the year 2050. Non-edibles that are being used as source include Stover, switch grass and wood chips.8. Graphene
Man of steel is outdated now; its the time for man of Graphene. This substance is 300 times stronger than steel and is as light as a feather. Some spectacular specs are as follows; its thickness is one atom, 1m2 weighs only 0.77 milligram. What else could you ask for? Made of pure carbon, this substance, has promised to revolutionize the world and manufacturing industry. One billion in grants have been provided to researchers who are working to bring this thing into the market with a boom! Graphene has some amazing uses in the industry; spacecrafts, electronics and what not. So keep a watch for your graphene made devices which are going to be durable and light.7. Body Motion Sensitive Screens
Leap has introduced an 8ft3 gesture control device which records hand’s movement and is an alternative to mouse and touch screen. The device makes use of infrared to record movement and can sense movement up to accuracy of 0.01 mm. This revolutionizing product has the potential to become the next big thing in the near future. So you can very well imagine yourself using your computers with your hand without physically touching it. A slide of finger in the air and a twist of wrist and voila, your work is done. This technology promises to take gaming to a whole new level! So yes, gamers, get ready!6. Retractable Keypad
Imagine a keyboard that would come out of your device screen to greet you with the note “Hey man, hate the touch keypad? Here I am, use me!” Ignoring the theatrics, this is exactly what our number six is about. A retractable keyboard that as of now comes as a separate unit but in the future would come coupled with your device as an integrated unit giving you the opportunity to enjoy both mediums; touch screen and a real 3D keyboard.5. Photovoltaic Glass
You all have smart phones with you. How about a smart house? How about a house where you can get the news off the glass in your washroom while you brush your teeth? Or how about video calling your grandma on your refrigerator or your coffee table. The possibilities are endless. ‘How?’ would be a very valid question at this moment! So coming to how. We have photovoltaic glass which can be used as an integrated computer screen. This durable and optical grade glass will permit you to make use of any flat surface as an integrated computer screen. That’s not just it; scientists are also working for this glass to be embedded in your window turning it into a solar panel!4. Wireless energy transmission
Suggested by none other than Nikolai Tesla, the idea of wireless energy transmission has been around for quite a while and in fact is being made use of when it comes to low power appliances; electric toothbrushes etc. However, scientists are planning to take it to the next level. This particular level would let you charge your phones, household devices and even electric cars just like that. Hypothetically, you could charge your cell phone whenever you wanted without making use of a charger and admit it, that sounds cool! We would love to have this technology in the market ASAP.3. DNA Data Storage
Here’s a bit of conversion for you that would help you understand why the DNA storage stands number three on our list. Take one gram of DNA and convert it into bytes, you come up with 2.2 million Gigabits of space. There you go. That is equivalent of 450,000 DVDs. This is the starting point for bio-computing. Researchers have already uploaded information onto DNA and then retrieved it by DNA sequencing. Mother Nature, it seems, has decided to rid us of the DVDs and worrying days of less storage capacity.2. Driverless Cars
You may start out as an enthusiastic driver but sooner or later you are going to get tired of it. Get tired of the stupid drivers around you. Then we have over worked people who would love to take a nap while they’re driven to their destination. Google is already experimenting with driverless cars and their cars have logged thousands of miles already. The concept is simple; you have a car that makes use of GPS and laser mounted devices on its roof to navigate and drive you to your designation. The cars are sensitive to pedestrian presence on road and respond to signal lights as well. So, yes, soon you’ll enter your car and tell the computer where you want to go and take a nap or call your buddy or reply to those texts from your wife while your car takes care of the driving.1. Visual prosthesis (Bionic Eye)
Six million dollar man and bionic woman are concepts that are around the corner and about to become reality. Meet Bionic eye; a device that promises eyesight to blind and better eyesight to those with poor eyesight. Prototypes are being made and tested. However, beware, this isn’t an ordinary eye, its a fully artificial eye that uses complex software and technology. The future where blind would be able to see is just around the corner!
