Foreign media: What are the five major technologies that change the future of mankind besides artificial intelligence?
Release date: 2017-03-16 Data map According to the 14th report of the British Internet News Times, the five major technologies will change our future lifestyle. These five technologies are biotechnology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, network access technology and smart appliances. Biotechnology Since the beginning of this century, the price of human genetic sequencing (determining the exact ordering of nucleotides within a DNA molecule, which determines who we are) has fallen sharply. The price of gene sequencing in 2001 was as high as $100 million, and today it is only around $1,000. The fall in prices coupled with the reduced time required for DNA sequencing has revolutionized the field of biotechnology: genetic hacking techniques that enable and disable genes and manipulate biology for us to use. The most radical branch of this new technology is "gene editing": the use of molecular "scissors" to cut and paste our DNA-encoding process, which has many uses, including curing cancer and AIDS. Until recently, DNA coding exchange was a difficult process. A new gene-cutting and pasting tool called Crispr makes this process surprisingly simple. Crispr is used to create disease-resistant wheat and rice varieties, alter yeast to make biofuels and treat animal blindness. Ultimately, it may be used to eliminate defects in human embryos. 2. Artificial intelligence Mobile medical Canadu: Can the clinic be loaded with imported bags? What kind of company is Scanadu, which has just received $35 million in investment from Asian investors such as Fosun and Tencent? A mobile medical hardware inspired by the sci-fi movie Star Trek, can you dream of reality in China? Artificial intelligence is not science fiction: it has been embedded in the products we use every day. Apple's Siri assistant, Amazon's book recommendation, Facebook's news feed, and Spotify's music discovery list are all examples of services driven by machine learning algorithms. This decades-old science is now undergoing a renaissance because smartphones and sensors create a lot of data, and today we have the power to handle this data. According to data from technology research firm Tractica, the size of the artificial intelligence market will increase from $643.7 million in 2016 to $36.8 billion in 2025. It is said that technologies such as deep learning and neural networks mimic the human brain: they identify large patterns in large data sets to enable categorization, recognition, and decision making. The next step is general-purpose artificial intelligence: this algorithm does not need to be taught specific skills (such as playing chess or a new language), but will learn skills through trial and error, just like children do. Companies such as London-based DeepMind (owned by Google) and other companies are working to make this a reality. 3. Renewable energy World leaders approved the Paris Climate Agreement last year. The agreement aims to prevent the global average temperature from rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and trying to keep the temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Delivering this commitment will require an increase in renewable energy research over the next 10 years. In the energy arena, researchers are trying to build a nuclear fusion reactor that uses the same process as the solar glow to create a source of clean energy. An intergovernmental cooperation program is building a $19 billion nuclear fusion reactor ITER in France. Other innovations include artificial photosynthesis, the manufacture of hydrocarbons in the lab to power cars, high-altitude wind farms, and kites and hot air balloons as airborne wind turbines. Iceland is investing in the development of geothermal technology to exploit underground thermal energy through drilling. Thirty years ago, the country began using geothermal resources to heat towns. Today, electricity and heating systems throughout the country rely almost exclusively on renewable energy, including geothermal and hydropower. 4. Network access technology WiFi is a family standard that is taken for granted by modern children. Last September, this technology passed its 25th birthday. As more devices connect to the “Internet of Things†(according to Cisco’s estimates, the number of devices connected to the IoT will reach 50 billion by 2020), the future of WiFi depends on reducing the amount of power it consumes on connected devices. . Students at the University of Washington in Seattle have invented an innovative technology called Passive WiFi. The inventor claims that the power consumption is only one in ten thousand. The current rate is lower than the average home broadband, but it works well for devices such as thermostats or light bulbs. The WiFi community also plans to develop higher frequency bands to cover a limited range, such as at home or in the car. Ultimately, WiFi may be replaced by another new ultra-high-speed connectivity technology, Li-Fi, which uses light to transmit information through air rather than radio waves. The light bulb will serve as a router for this technology. A pilot study earlier this year found that Li-Fi prototypes are 100 times faster than WiFi, and dozens of movies can be downloaded in minutes. 5. Smart home appliances Nearly two-thirds of the world's population connects to the Internet via smartphones, but smartphones are not the only Internet access portal. According to Gartner, a technical analyst firm, there were 6.4 billion connected devices (excluding PCs, mobile phones and laptops) in use worldwide in 2016, up 30% from the previous year. The Internet of Things is the collection of these connected devices, from cars to printers, light bulbs to thermostats, which are no longer "stupid", stationary objects: they can learn your habits and remotely control through the application. A typical smart home appliance is a refrigerator that can be automatically stocked and can automatically replenish milk. The convenience of this innovation is far more than the need to rely on the sense of smell to determine whether the food has deteriorated. The car has now become a computer, running more lines of code than when the Apollo 11 spacecraft flew to the moon. As these computers become smarter, cars will automate their driving and may reduce deaths from traffic accidents. Smart sensors can also revolutionize the business, for example, by monitoring the goods in transit, helping utilities measure energy consumption and helping logistics companies track vehicles remotely. Source: Xinhuanet Imported bio-based Plasticizer Plasticizer is widely used in industrial production of polymer materials, also known as plasticizer. Any substance added to a polymer material that increases the plasticity of the polymer is called a plasticizer. Plasticizer can improve the performance of polymer materials, reduce production costs and increase production benefits. [1] is a kind of important additives, chemical products as additives commonly used in plastics, concrete, mortar, the material such as cement, gypsum, cosmetic and detergent, especially in PVC plastic products, in order to increase the plasticity of the plastic and improve the strength of the plastic, you need to add phthalic acid ester, sometimes its content can be up to 50% of the products. Weakened the effect of plasticizer mainly resin molecular valence bond between time, increase the mobility of the resin molecular bonds, reducing resin molecular crystalline, increase the plasticity resin molecules, enhanced the flexibility, easy to machining, can legally used for industrial purposes, widely exists in food packaging, cosmetics, medical equipment, water and environment. Such as plastic wrap, food packaging, toys and so on.
