10 best science and technology inventions in 2018

From programmed tablets to phones that can capture millions of images in a second, here are 10 of the most innovative and unique technology innovations in 2018.

1. Artificial synapses

An electronic synapse can transmit data millions of times faster than synapses in the human brain that can be used to build an artificial neural network (ANN). ANN is a computer system based on the structure and function of biological neural networks. The neural network itself is not an algorithm, but a framework for many different machine learning algorithms to work together, processing complex input data.

Clinical trials of a drug called mTOR inhibitor result in a ready-to-use drug that enhances the immune system of the elderly, potentially helping them to extend their lifespan. Now another trial is underway, which is the senolytic test, which removes aging cells, causing the body to age.

Instead of propellers, engines, and aircraft, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers built a mechanism to promote the name “electroaerodynamic”. High-voltage electric fields produce ions and accelerate them, creating an “ionic wind flow” that pushes the plane forward.

The new DNA system can decode pulsed cells to signal that they are damaged or attacked. Building this type of DNA into pills can help the drug release the drug when it detects the right signal for medication. From there, the drug targets the target area of ​​infection.

A group of researchers working on interpersonal communication devices together in 2015 has now expanded the technology to be used for three people, paving the way for the prospect of larger groups to directly transmit thoughts from the brain to together.

A normal smartphone can be used to track a person across the wall by detecting their movement to distort any Wi-Fi signal in the area.

7. Secure quantum communication via satellite

Unbreakable quantum cryptography is used to encode videoconferencing and video between China and Austria. This is one of the points that China is leading the world in terms of developing quantum communication techniques.

8. Phone captures 1 million pictures per second

This is a convenient way to process data from a mobile camera that can produce multiple frames from one exposure. It increases the frame rate up to 1 megahertz, even in black and white.

9. Edible electronic device

Disposable electronic circuits printed on paper can be dissolved, such as temporary tattoos, which could one day be added to food or medicine to help monitor human health.

Each step of this wearer will compress the mercury flow back and forth through the device attached to the heel, thereby creating an electric current. This current may be enough to power many small communication devices.
