2023年2月22日 · The technology has reduced the time it takes to produce hearing aids from more than one week to just one day, according to the American Hospital Association. CRISPR gene editing Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) gene-editing technology can potentially transform how diseases are treated.

2023年6月26日 · The technology centres around phages, which are viruses that identify and infect specific types of bacteria with genetic information, says the report. Bioengineers can reprogramme a phage’s genetic information so it transmits genetic instructions to bacteria to change how it functions, enabling microbiome-associated diseases to be targeted ...

2022年5月10日 · The World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneer community is composed of early to growth-stage companies from around the world involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies and innovations.

2020年6月23日 · In other words, a new normal will emerge in how we can manage cancer. We will see more early and proactive screening with improved diagnostics innovation, such as in better genome sequencing technology or in liquid biopsy, that promises higher ease of testing, higher accuracy and ideally at an affordable cost.

2017年1月11日 · Blockchain also appears in the high risk/low benefit quadrant. This technology is particularly relevant today in the financial world, where it is bringing about faster and more secure payments. That said, we have limited experience of this type of technology, and some of the risks may not become apparent until it is being used on a wider scale.

2023年12月18日 · We welcomed another 100 tech firms to our Technology Pioneers community this year. From carbon capture to new technologies to separate hydrogen from water, these innovators are helping tackle some of the world's biggest challenges.

2024年3月14日 · The first decentralized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin introduced a new form of digital payment system that operates independently of traditional banking systems. Its underlying technology, blockchain, revolutionized the concept of digital transactions by providing a secure, transparent, and decentralized method for peer-to-peer payments.

2021年10月25日 · One of the newest of the Top 10 Emerging Technology cohort, electric aviation made it onto our 2020 list. The technology has been around for a while - think about electric gliders for instance - but in the past year innovation has accelerated, driven by a need for the sector to decarbonize.

2023年9月21日 · This transparent renewable energy source has been developed by California-based Ubiquitous Technology which says it could revolutionize solar power. The glass is treated to allow visible light, what we see, to pass through it while absorbing and converting invisible ultraviolet and infrared light into electricity.
