As the world population increases, food demands shoot up sharply, making the search for sustainable protein sources all the more important. Net—Lab-grown meat, or cultured meat, is a food technology breakthrough. It is stated to revolutionise our approach to farming. But what is lab-grown meat? Where does it fit into our food systems of the future? In this blog , Read More
Cyberattacks are getting smarter, making the battle between hackers and security experts even fiercer. Traditional cybersecurity tools are used to protect against known threats. Now, they struggle to keep up with today’s fast-changing threats. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a key player. It helps find weaknesses, predict attacks, and adapt quickly. Can AI in cybersecurity Read More
Scientists and the public have recently set their sights on prolonging human life spans. Genetic engineering advances make extending life feel possible, not pie-in-the-sky. The science of anti-ageing is in its infancy, exploding as people focus on longevity genes and regenerative medicine. Such a shift would alter how humans make sense of ageing and mortality. Is there a way to Read More
A space elevator has often teetered between science fiction and real science. Popularised by Arthur C. Clarke in The Fountains of Paradise, it would extend from Earth to a geostationary orbit, creating a tethered way to travel to space. Is this bold idea just a fantasy, or is it a real engineering challenge ready to Read More
For centuries, consciousness has been a puzzle that has intrigued philosophers and scientists. What is it? Is it something that science can ever quantify or comprehend? These questions become increasingly pressing as we delve into cognitive computing and neurotechnology. This blog covers everything from consciousness studies to neurophilosophy to the thrilling possibility of AI sentience. Consciousness is the ability Read More
We’ve always had a fascination with fast travel. From steamships to supersonic jets, we crave more rapid forms of transportation. Now, a new mode of transportation beckons: the Hyperloop. Popularised by Elon Musk, this system could herald a new era in travel, slashing journey times and revolutionising economies. The million-dollar question is: when will this vision become real? This information Read More
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
