This week in future tech, Chinese media has reported that the country’s expansion of hydrogen fuel cells has accelerated to unprecedented levels. China’s bid to ditch its image as one of the world’s major polluters appears to be in full swing, particularly when it comes to hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen is one source of cleaner […]

Questions are often raised about how green CO2 conversion tech really is, but a new reactor design claims to do it using renewable electricity. The demand for sustainable fuels is only increasing as nations strive for the goal of becoming carbon neutral, and now a team of researchers at Rice University has unveiled a production
Converting CO2 into pure liquid fuel just got a lot greener using new reactor Read More »
Unlike other space elevator concepts, researchers have plans for a connection between the moon and Earth’s orbit, which would be free from gravity’s clutches. The concept of a space elevator that could take a crew from the Earth’s surface to space without needing rockets is not new. However, a combination of the immense cost and
Radical space elevator idea wants to see cable from moon to the Earth Read More »
MIT engineers have developed a thin, magnetically controlled soft robotics device coated in a slippery skin to pass through tight pathways. A tiny worm-like robot capable of gliding through narrow, winding pathways, such as those found in the brain, has been developed by scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The robotic thread can be
Robotic worm that can snake through blood vessels could revolutionise surgery Read More »
This week in future tech, vast networks of underwater IoT sensors that don’t need batteries could be sent to distant planets. A team of MIT researchers has unveiled a battery-free underwater sensor that can transmit data for extremely long periods of time. According to MIT News, rolling out a network of these sensors could be
Battery-free IoT sensor that lasts for years could be sent to distant planets Read More »
Artificial intelligence (AI), one of twenty core technologies I identified back in 1983 as the drivers of exponential economic value creation, has worked its way into our lives. From Amazon’s Alexa and Facebook’s M to Google’s Now and Apple’s Siri, AI is always growing — so keeping a closer eye on future developments, amazing opportunities,
