TIME TRAVEL. "Physicists in Australia claim to have simulated time travel using fairly standard optical equipment on a lab bench. They say they have prepared photons that behave as if they are travelling along short cuts in space–time known as "closed time-like curves", and add that their work might help in the long-sought-after unification of quantum mechanics and gravity." https://lnkd.in/et_Wr9e View in LinkedIn

BLURRED BOUNDARIES. "Synthetic Biology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Brain Stimulation: the NBIC wave (the technology convergence of Nano-, Bio-, Information Technology and Cognitive Science) is flooding us almost like a tsunami ... Biology is becoming technology and technology is becoming biology." https://lnkd.in/ewsZTcy View in LinkedIn

DNA AND ENZYME COMPUTER. "Israeli scientists have devised a computer that can perform 330 trillion operations per second, more than 100,000 times the speed of the pas test PC. The secret: it runs in DNA." And a trillion of these prototypes can fit into a single drop of water. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/02/0224_030224_DNAcomputer.html View in LinkedIn

"GENES, BYTES AND ROBOTS are going to transform our social life." By human genetic enhancements, enhanced autonomous self-repairing AI as sentient beings with greater intelligence than our own, and human-robot combinations. Wow. https://lnkd.in/evrjk3m View in LinkedIn

THE NEW KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY. "A synergistic convergence of ICT, robotics, artificial intelligence, new materials, 3D printing, robotics, nanotech, synthetic biology and big data promise a new industrial revolution and an exponentially expanding networked, knowledge economy." https://lnkd.in/e-WNijh View in LinkedIn

WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE. "We stand at the threshold of a new renaissance in science and technology, based on a comprehensive understanding of the structure and behavior of matter from the nanoscale up to the most complex system yet discovered, the human brain." https://lnkd.in/enuj488 View in LinkedIn

PRIORITY: "“The Human Cognome Project,” a multidisciplinary effort to understand the structure, functions, and potential enhancement of the human mind. Other priority areas are: personal sensory device interfaces; enriched community through humanized technology; learning how to learn; and enhanced tools for creativity." https://lnkd.in/enuj488 View in LinkedIn

PAYOFFS: "improving work efficiency and learning, enhancing individual sensory and cognitive capabilities, revolutionary changes in healthcare, improving both individual and group creativity, highly effective communication techniques including brain-to-brain interaction, perfecting human- machine interfaces including neuromorphic engineering, sustainable and “intelligent” environments including neuro-ergonomics," and diminishing effects of aging. https://lnkd.in/enuj488 View in LinkedIn

NANO KEY. "Convergence of diverse technologies is based on material unity at the nanoscale and on technology integration from that scale. The building blocks of matter that are fundamental to all sciences originate at the nanoscale. Revolutionary advances at the interfaces between previously separate fields of science and technology are ready to create key transforming tools for NBIC technologies." https://lnkd.in/enuj488 View in LinkedIn
