This is a list of emerging technologies, which are in-development technical innovations that have significant potential in their applications. The criteria for this list is that the technology must: Exist in some way; purely hypothetical technologies cannot be considered emerging and should be covered in the list of hypothetical technologies ...
Emerging technologies are those technical innovations which represent progressive developments within a field for competitive advantage; [2] converging technologies represent previously distinct fields which are in some way moving towards stronger inter-connection and similar goals. However, the opinion on the degree of the impact, status and ...
Future technology-related topics include: Emerging technologies , technologies that are perceived as capable of changing the status quo Futures studies (also called futurology), the study of postulating possible, probable, and preferable futures and the worldviews and myths that underlie them
Exploring desired urban futures in a number of cities around the world [6] Identifying actions to increase coastal community resilience against environmental shocks in Valiathura , India [ 7 ] Drawing on local ecological knowledge to identify adaptation pathways to reduce wildfire risk in Montseny , Catalonia [ 8 ]
Emerging technologies in the fields of climate engineering may be able to halt or reverse global warming and its environmental impacts, [83] although this remains highly controversial. [84] As technology has advanced, so too has the negative environmental impact, with increased release of greenhouse gases , including methane , nitrous oxide and ...
There are also other renewable energy technologies that are still under development, including enhanced geothermal systems, concentrated solar power, cellulosic ethanol, and marine energy. [130] [131] These technologies are not yet widely demonstrated or have limited commercialization. Some may have potential comparable to other renewable ...
Other companies are exploring the possibility of packaging 3 LEDs: one red, one green and one blue LED into a single package to reduce mass transfer costs. [ 63 ] [ 64 ] Quantum dots are being researched as a way to shrink the size of microLED pixels, while other companies are exploring the use of phosphors and quantum dots to eliminate the ...
Smart Dust entered the Gartner Hype Cycle on Emerging Technologies in 2003, [8] and returned in 2013, as the most speculative entrant. [ 9 ] In 2022, a Nature paper written by Shyamnath Gollakota, Vikram Iyer, Hans Gaensbauer and Thomas Daniel, all from the University of Washington , presented tiny light-weight programmable battery-free ...
