Messenger RNA vaccines

Messenger RNA vaccines

The new covid vaccines are based on a technology never before used in therapeutics, and it could transform medicine, leading to vaccines against various infectious diseases, including malaria.

And if this coronavirus keeps mutating, mRNA vaccines can be easily and quickly modified. Messenger RNA also holds great promise as the basis for cheap gene fixes to sickle-cell disease and HIV.

Also in the works: using mRNA to help the body fight off cancers.

Lithium-metal EV batteries

Lithium-metal EV batteries

Electric vehicles are relatively expensive, and you can drive them only a few hundred miles before they need to recharge. All these drawbacks have to do with the limitations of lithium-ion batteries.

A well-funded Silicon Valley startup, QuantumScape, has developed a lithium-metal battery. According to early test results, the battery could boost the range of an EV by 80% and can be rapidly recharged.

Data trusts

Data trusts

Technology companies have proven to be poor stewards of our personal data. Our information has been leaked, hacked, and sold and resold more times than most of us can count.

Data trusts offer one alternative approach that some governments are starting to explore. A data trust is a legal entity that collects and manages peopleā€™s personal data on their behalf.

GPT-3

GPT-3

Large natural-language computer models that learn to write and speak are a big step toward AI that can better understand and interact with the world. GPT-3 is by far the largestā€”and most literateā€”to date.

Trained on the text of thousands of books and most of the internet, GPT-3 can mimic human-written text with uncannyā€”and at times bizarreā€”realism, making it the most impressive language model yet produced using machine learning.

TikTok Algorithms

TikTok Algorithms

TikTok has become one of the worldā€™s fastest-growing social networks. Why? Because the algorithms that power TikTokā€™s ā€œFor Youā€ feed have changed the way people become famous online.

The ability of new creators to get a lot of views very quicklyā€”and the ease with which users can discover so many kinds of contentā€”have contributed to the appā€™s stunning growth. Other social media companies are now scrambling to reproduce these features on their own apps.

Green hydrogen

Green hydrogen

Hydrogen has always been an intriguing possible replacement for fossil fuels. It burns cleanly, emitting no carbon dioxide; itā€™s energy dense, so itā€™s a good way to store power from on-and-off renewable sources.

The rapidly dropping cost of solar and wind power means green hydrogen is now cheap enough to be practical. Simply zap water with electricity, and presto, youā€™ve got hydrogen. Europe is leading the way, beginning to build the needed infrastructure.

Digital contact tracing

Digital contact tracing

As the coronavirus began to spread around the world, smartphone apps could use GPS or Bluetooth to create a log of people who had recently crossed paths. If one of them later tested positive for covid, that person could enter the result into the app, and it would alert others who might have been exposed.

The lessons we learn from this pandemic could not only help us prepare for the next pandemic but also carry over to other areas of health care.

Hyper-accurate positioning

Hyper-accurate positioning

We all use GPS every day; it has transformed our lives and many of our businesses. But while todayā€™s GPS is accurate to within 5 to 10 meters, new hyper-accurate positioning technologies have accuracies within a few centimeters or millimeters.

Chinaā€™s BeiDou (Big Dipper) global navigation system was completed in June 2020 and is part of whatā€™s making all this possible. It provides positioning accuracy of 1.5 to two meters to anyone in the world.

Remote everything

Remote everything

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to go remote. Getting that shift right has been especially critical in health care and education. Some places around the world have done a particularly good job at getting remote services in these two areas to work well for people.

Byjuā€™s, a learning app based in India, has seen the number of its users soar to nearly 70 million. Telehealth efforts in Uganda and several other African countries have extended health care to millions during the pandemic.

Smarter AI

Smarter AI

Despite the immense progress in artificial intelligence in recent years, AI and robots are still dumb in many ways, especially when it comes to solving new problems or navigating unfamiliar environments.

One promising approach to improving the skills of AI is to expand its senses; currently AI with computer vision or audio recognition can sense things but cannot ā€œtalkā€ about what it sees and hears using natural-language algorithms. But what if you combined these abilities in a single AI system?
