TTO - The world becomes smaller, bringing people closer together thanks to the breakthrough technological inventions in this twenty-first century.
Technology saves people from having to do hard, dangerous and low productivity labor by automating with robots of all fields.

They range from production lines in factories, construction sites, docks, hospitals to supermarkets, restaurants, and even in our homes.

Join us through the inventions that are considered to be the most important and serve the most practical life in the twenty-first century and for the future:

Genetic Engineering

There are many words with similar meanings used to refer to genetic engineering such as Gene technology, Genetic Modification (Genetic Modification) and are all a technique in modern biotechnology.

Genetic engineering has brought to humans enormous and practical benefits for life.

In the agricultural sector, it produces high-yielding varieties of rice, vegetables, industrial crops and fruit trees that are resistant to pests and diseases, drought, helping to solve the victim and protect the environment when children people do not have to continuously destroy forests to expand their cultivated areas like in the past.

In the future, it will help to improve the breeds of cattle, poultry, and aquatic products so that the productivity of meat and milk will be high without spending too much time as traditionally through natural selection.

In medicine, it helps scientists better understand the mechanism of disease development of the human body, prepare new drugs with higher therapeutic performance, and map human genes to improve techniques. more and more accurate disease testing and diagnosis techniques, editing the genes of eggs and sperm to eliminate potential defects genes for future fetuses.

In the near future, genetic engineering will create genetically modified animals as a source of organs and tissues for use in research and transplant surgery.

Nanotechnology (Nanotechnology)

Nanotechnology is the design, analysis, fabrication and control of the shape, size of atoms, molecules and supermolecules of matter on a microscopic scale (1 part per million meter).

Nanotechnology offers extremely useful applications in many fields.

In medicine, cancer treatments, new nanoparticle treatments, have been tested to limit tumors from growing and destroy them at the cellular level.

Doctors will use gold nanoparticles or carry the right therapeutic drugs to kill cancer cells. Nanotechnology in the near future will help people to completely treat the evil cancer.

Even with the most difficult to treat cancers like brain cancer, doctors will be able to easily treat them without opening the patient's skull. It will also replace toxic chemotherapy / radiation treatments that often deplete the patient's health.

Moreover, scientists also study a nano robot with a microscopic size, can go inside the human body to deliver medicine to the internal organs.

Such direct delivery of drugs will increase the effectiveness of treatment without the need for invasive surgery, shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce the medical costs of the patient.

Nanotechnology is being applied in the manufacture of antibacterial coatings for medical equipment in hospitals to help reduce the risk of infection for patients and doctors.

In agriculture, nanotechnology is being applied to produce foliar fertilizers and fungicides for plants.

Copper (Cu) is essential for the nutrition of plants (as well as humans). Copper in the nano form (often called micronutrients) is used as a fertilizer and as a fungicide for fungi and bacteria on plants, it is a non-toxic plant protection drug for humans and the environment.

The advantage of copper nanoparticles is to provide nutrients for plants with an extremely small amount just enough, not to scatter excess copper into the soil, polluting the environment.

In food production, scientists experimentally alter the structure of foods at the atomic and molecular levels, making them taste better and more nutritious ...

Nanotechnology will also help preserve food for longer by creating food-containing materials with the ability to kill bacteria. Nowadays, there are current refrigerators that are coated with silver nano to kill bacteria.

In the electronics sector, rechargeable electronic devices such as laptops, raw phones are usedng minh ... coming soon will be thinner and lighter, longer battery life and the size of the battery will be increasingly reduced thanks to this technology.

In apparel, the production of clothes that kill bacteria that cause unpleasant odors in clothing has become a reality with the use of silver nanoparticles. They attract and destroy bacteria on clothes. This technology has been applied in some sportswear, medical fabrics and in a deodorizing underwear.

Scientists are also working on applying nanotechnology to turn the wearer's shirt into a mobile power station. Using energy sources such as wind, solar energy and with nanotechnology, people will be able to charge their smartphones anytime, anywhere.

Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence)

Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Intelligence (English: Artificial Intelligence, abbreviated to AI) is an intelligence created by humans with the goal of helping computers automate intelligent behaviors like children. people.

Artificial intelligence is one of the key disciplines of informatics (but not programming languages), the application of machine learning systems to simulate human intelligence in processes that people do better than computers.

Artificial intelligence enables computers to think and reason to solve problems, communicate by understanding language, speech, learning and adapting themselves.

It can perform control, scheduling and scheduling tasks, the ability to answer questions about diagnosing diseases, answer customers about the products of a particular business, and handwriting recognition. , voice and face recognition. The latest is applicable to unmanned cars.

Today, machine systems equipped with artificial intelligence are widely used in the fields of economics, transportation, education, medicine, engineering, military and defense, in the fields of popular computer softwares and video games.

The most notable applications of AI in consumer electronics are the virtual assistants Siri (iPhone), Bixby (Samsung) as well as Alexa (Amazon) and Asisstant (Google).

Automation (Automation)

Automation technology is the use of multiple control systems for equipment that acts as machinery in factories, boilers, heat treatment furnaces, telephone network switches, cruise management and tuning. Stabilizing balances for ships, aircraft and other applications to minimize human intervention.

The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves a lot of labor effort, helps to reduce the consumption of energy, materials and improves product quality with very high precision.

Automation is a key factor in helping industries thrive with automated production lines that do not need as much manpower as before.

Self-closing is also applied in home life with heating systems, air conditioning, electrical and lighting systems, automatic door locks ...

Today, automation is used in all types of production and assembly. Automation has been deployed on a huge scale such as in power plants, refineries, chemical production, steel, plastics, fertilizers, cement, paper and pulp, automobiles, aircraft, and glass. , natural gas separation plants, and food and beverage processing.

Robotics

Actually robots (robots) have appeared in the last decades of the 20th century, but very rudimentary, only for demonstration rather than application in real life. By the 21st century, robots have become popular and bring many practical benefits to humans.

There are a lot of robots that are made for different purposes and shapes: huge machines for industrial use to the kind that resemble humans or animals.

Some intelligent robots equipped with artificial intelligence can interact and support work for humans such as Asimo and Erica (Japan), Bina48 and Sophia (USA), Buddy (France).

With the development of artificial intelligence, now robots have been able to effectively replace humans, operating tirelessly in all fields from manufacturing, medicine, military, security protection. security, rescue to service and meet the needs of human maintenance.
