There’s a quiet revolution going on in the British countryside. AI is using decades-old ploughed fields. This transition is more than just a tech upgrade; it transforms how we farm and produce food. The agricultural field has revolutionised the farming industry with precision farming, robotics and smart irrigation, all thanks to AI. AI represents a future where antiquated methods become Read More
Digital transformation is reshaping our world. As we shift online, individual digital identity is becoming more significant. It touches our privacy, security, and freedoms. One of the big questions, then, is whether we’re headed toward a global digital identity system. Here, we are going to discuss the future of digital identity, which includes blockchain identity, digital passports, and online privacy Read More
In recent years, the concept of colonising space has moved from science fiction to reality. As humanity reaches towards the stars, Mars is the top colonisation pick. Companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX are leading the charge, and now the question may be how close we are to actually building cities on Mars. Mars is appealing. Its proximity Read More
But now, with the world on a digital basis, that security is even more relevant. Quantum cryptography is opening another way to protect our online lives. Cyber threats are evolving, and so must our defences. But, with quantum cryptography, encryption is unbreakable and thus immune to the most advanced attacks. In this blog, we will delve into the details Read More
The CRISPR revolution has led to similar advances in agriculture in recent years. Often termed a game-changer in genetics, CRISPR is bringing forth what many are dubbing Genetically Modified Crops 2.0. Now, a new generation of GMOs aims to address pressing challenges in global agriculture at scale. CRISPR is about changing the landscape of farming through gene-edited plants, Read More
The world’s population may reach 10 billion by 2050. One big challenge will be ensuring everyone has enough safe and nutritious food. Climate change, water scarcity, soil degradation, and pests are greatly stressing traditional farming. In response, science has developed a groundbreaking solution: gene-edited crops. Gene editing is more precise and efficient than older methods Read More
AI is transforming various sectors, such as healthcare, finance, entertainment, and cybersecurity. Some of the most exciting and controversial developments include deepfake technology. The word “deepfake” derives from deep learning and fake, referring to the increasingly realistic media manipulated by AI to change videos, images, and audio. It makes content that is realistic but false. First developed for research Read More
In recent years, hyperloop technology has excited transportation fans, futurists, and engineers. Elon Musk first thought of this high-speed transportation system in 2013. It aims to cut travel time between cities, which could change how we view and experience mobility. Virgin Hyperloop and Elon Musk’s The Boring Company are backing research and development. This raises Read More
We now have electronic devices transforming outwardly, but what about inwards? That, christened with transhumanism and digital consciousness, is that we could somehow upload our brains to a digital construct. This would allow for digital immortality. But how realistic is this? What does this mean for humankind? We will explore the science, ethics, and future possibilities of what would require Read More
Imagine a world free from organ donor waitlists. Hearts, kidneys, and lungs can be swapped out at will in this vision. These miraculous replacements are lab-grown using a patient’s cells. Fueled by bioengineered innovation, this future isn’t just a distant dream. It’s blossoming into reality right before our eyes. The fusion of biotechnology, regenerative medicine, Read More
