In 2017, many innovations left a strong mark in the history of science and technology. Some of the future scenes portrayed in science fiction movies have emerged in real life.
In the new year, which technological breakthroughs will bring new surprises to people?
Artificial intelligence: moist and fine
2017 is called the "Artificial Intelligence Year." What will happen in 2018? Experts predict that thanks to the continuous advancement of machine learning, artificial intelligence will accelerate the evolution, and it will penetrate into every aspect of our lives.
Robinson Piramutu, chief scientist of computer vision at the US company, said that more and more smartphones can run deep neural networks, and home robots will be more affordable.
In 2018, artificial intelligence will also promote the industrialization of autonomous driving. Waymo, the company's parent company's “Alphabetâ€, recently implemented a completely unmanned, self-driving car on the road and began autopilot taxi trials.
Quantum computing: starting from the crowd
In 2018, the competition for quantum computing power will open the curtain of "competition." One of the suspense is who can take the lead in breaking the "quantum hegemony" mark of 50 qubits.
"Quantum hegemony" refers to the computational power of quantum computers over traditional computers to achieve "hegemony" relative to traditional computers. Some people believe that a quantum computer with 50 qubits can achieve "quantum hegemony."
At the end of 2017, American International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) announced the successful development of a 50 qubit processor prototype, and established quantum computing cooperation with Samsung, JP Morgan Chase and other companies, is expected to launch the first quantum computing in the financial field by 2021. application.
And Google, another leader in quantum computing, is developing machines with 49 qubits, and Intel and Microsoft continue to invest in this area. The Pan Jianwei and Lu Chaoyang research groups of the University of Science and Technology of China are also working towards related goals. In 2017, they successfully developed the world's first quantum computer that surpassed the early traditional computers.
Space exploration: picking up stars and picking stars
In 2018, the cold moon will be "hot" anomaly.
China will launch the No. 4 relay star and detector to realize the communication between the Earth and the back of the moon and detect the back area of ​​the moon; the US private enterprise "Lunar MRT Corporation" plans to launch the lunar lander, which is expected to be the first successful lunar exploration. Private enterprises; India plans to implement the "Moonboat 2" detector mission to the moon, is expected to become another country landing on the moon; US Space Exploration Technology also plans to open a commercial space travel project to help two space tourists fly around the moon...
At the same time, the journey of human exploration to other planets will continue.
The NASA "Insight" Mars unmanned landing probe will be launched in May and land near the equator of Mars in November. The Mercury probe, developed in collaboration with the space agency of Europe and Japan, will begin its journey in October to advance to one of the most unknown planets in the solar system.
Biomedicine: take it to the next level
In the new year, life sciences will continue to heat up, providing new treatment options for serious illnesses.
In the United States, three gene therapies have been approved for marketing in 2017, two of which treat cancer and one treat genetic disease, which kicks off the warming of the gene therapy market in 2018. As the US Food and Drug Administration Director Scott Gottlieb said, gene therapy is at a "turning point" and will be the backbone of treating and even curing many serious illnesses.
Chinese scientists have also conducted clinical trials using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to treat lung cancer. According to the British "New Scientist" weekly forecast, the test is expected to close in 2018.
Industry insiders also predict that genetic editing combined with immunotherapy for cancer treatment is expected to enter clinical applications in the short term. (Xinhua News Agency)
Portable Sprinkler irrigation system
Portable Sprinkler Irrigation System mainly used for Farmland irrigation, fruit and grass irrigation,Sugarcane sprinkler irrigation, power plants precipitation, factory and port dust removal.
Portable Sprinkler irrigation system available with multiple nozzles, allowing watering and misting options, irrigation booms are adaptable to any crop. Depending on the boom selected, multiple zones can be irrigated with one boom, allowing the grower to effectively grow multiple crops in one house. All booms can be controlled independently or through computerized controls.
