The world today is an era of technological explosions. Many things that they did not even want to think about now have become reality. In the factory's assembly line, robots replace workers to assemble products such as cars; on the battlefield, they cooperate with human soldiers. From driving a car to piloting a plane, the microcomputer has played a vital role in almost all areas.
With the help of the latest medical devices, surgeons can perform incredible surgeries for patients. Thanks to the researchers’ achievements in bioengineering, the medical frontier continues to expand. Research on the cloning and revival of extinct animals has attracted more and more attention and alertness. Some people are worried that there may be disasters in science fiction and films. However, even the most advanced scientific and technological means still cannot solve climate change and famine, or conquer some terrible diseases.
While the earth's resources are shrinking, the global population has been growing. This has led to fierce political confrontation and military conflict. Recently, the United States President Barack Obama called for people to carry forward the "spirit of innovation" and to meet and overcome these challenges. Obviously, this burden will fall on the shoulders of scientists. With their achievements in some of the most popular areas of research, we can create a better tomorrow. "Life Science" magazine will focus on these areas and select the top ten most significant innovative technology rankings in the future. The specific list is as follows:
1. Create artificial brain
Create artificial brain
The human brain is an unusually complex organization with billions of nerve cells inside. Although related research has not stopped, many things about the brain are still unsolved. Researchers participating in the "Blue Brain Project" announced that they plan to develop a functional artificial brain in 10 years. With the help of IBM's supercomputer Blue Gene, they have been able to simulate parts of an artificial mouse's brain. These simulated brain cells have been able to self-organize without human intervention.
There is no doubt that the results obtained in the reverse engineering of the brain will prompt scientists to create a model for biomedical testing, and further understand human consciousness. Researchers say that artificial brains do not have artificial intelligence, at least not yet.
