Another invention is the AR Guided Surgery using the Augmedics xvision, and it helps a surgeon turn the CT scan of a patient into a 3D image while looking over the spine of the body. This helps a surgeon look under the skin of the patient, and it proves to be really beneficial in surgeries where every millimeter counts, and a slight discrepancy can be potentially life-threatening.We have all watched science fiction movies where one person controls the mind of the other, well scientists have been working on such ideas for a while and perhaps have a potential game-changer in our hands. It is the Military Mind Control helmet. Work is in progress for this product but in the near future, it could have a staggering impact on the world in the future. When a soldier wears this helmet, it could regulate their brain by sending high-frequency sound waves to certain regions of the brain. By emitting these sound waves to certain areas of the brain, you can stimulate a particular part of the brain accordingly. However, there are debates around whether mind control in real life should be allowed.What inventions are needed today?Roughly 30 years ago, people could not have imagined how the internet could impact our lives or that we even required it, and look at us today. Some ideas and new discoveries can change our lives and the only limit is human imagination. We never know what we need unless we think what kind of an impact it could have on our lives.The first one on the list is smart glasses. We are all living witnesses of how smartphones have shaped our lives, imagine how smart glasses could change the ball game altogether. Smart glasses have the capability to make calls, be a guide or a navigator, work as a calorie counter, and at the same time they can act like sunglasses. They are rechargeable and all you need to do to recharge it is to keep them in their case which has a feature of wireless charging. These glasses also have an option of ‘find my glasses’ so you do not need to worry about losing your glasses.We all love pancakes, don’t we? Imagine how cool and fun it would be to have pancakes of any shape and size, eating pancakes of unique character shapes or some other interesting figure. This world perhaps needs a pancake printer so we could then eat rocket-shaped pancakes or ones shaped like an alien. A kid could draw the shape of their desired pancake and then look at the machine print it.The problem regarding clean and fresh drinking water has been an issue for various developing and under-developed countries for years. This is where the LifeStraw, a water filtering straw, works as a lifesaver. This straw acts as a water filter and has been proven to remove 96.2% of viruses and 99.9% of bacteria present in water. In recent years, this product is becoming popular among people who travel around the world and those who don’t have access to a clean, fresh source of water. LifeStraw can be best used in drinking water from a lake or a river. It is arguably one of the best inventions of the 21st century as it directly tackles a problem that could be one of the biggest issue in the years to come due to climate change.Another issue which Earth is facing at the moment is pollution due to plastics and the collective aim is to reduce the usage of plastic in our day to day lives. Every year, a lot of plastic is used in covering food to keep food safe from bacteria or viruses and prevent it from spoiling. Lately, scientists have been working on edible food wrappers which could be made from casein which is a protein found in milk. This product would not only prevent food from getting spoilt but also increase our protein intake as it is edible and at the same time biodegradable.Our planet is fighting against the issues of air pollution, well Graviky Labs have come out with just what we need, Air-Ink, a product which can turn all the carbon soot produced from exhausts using a filter known as ‘Kaalink’ into normally usable ink. It might perhaps be the greatest invention of this century if it could potentially be a solution to air pollution.Talking about inventions that could be the next biggest thing in the world, we believe nothing tops autonomous driving. Human civilization has always been running after efficiency and making the most out of the time we have on our hands. People spend a large amount of time driving their vehicles from home to work or to some other place, but imagine if they could spend that time in some other more productive activity. Several industry leaders including the likes of Google and Tesla have been intensely working on this concept and believe it could revolutionize the automobile industry.Government Led Latest InventionsIt is a well-known fact that the government of each and every country has played a vital role in the development of some of the most widely used technologies today. Ranging from the GPS system that we use to Moderna vaccines, government assistance in whichever way has been invaluable. Let us take a closer look at some of the best inventions which couldn’t have turned into reality without the help of the government.MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technology used to detect several health problems but little do people know that it was initially used to study atomic nuclei back in the mid 20th century. Due to the grants of the National Science Foundation (NSF) for 35 years, this technology was able to be adapted for regular use in the healthcare sector.In wake of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, a number of American soldiers began losing their arms or their legs, which led to increasing demand for modern prosthetic limbs. Eventually, the U.S. Government’s Department of Veteran Affairs began to fund and invest in research and production related to prosthetics. This fund helped the Revolutionizing Prosthetics program in 2006 and led to the development of the quality of prosthetics to a great extent.We are still struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic but the situation is far better than what it was in the past thanks to vaccines. One such was the Moderna coronavirus vaccine and it was produced with the aid of the US Government.What is the next biggest invention?Science has been an ever-evolving field, inventions have been made time and again which seemed like impossible dreams just years ago. Even today as we sit and look forward to what awaits us in the future, there are thousands of possibilities. Let’s look at some of the inventions which we believe can be regarded as the next big thing in the field of science and technology. If you still believe that there are limitations to how much science can do, think of who would have thought that we could measure our heart rate in real-time just by wearing a watch on our wrists.3D printing has been around for some time but there is a lot of scope for it to develop. Currently, it is only used by certain companies to make prototypes but this technology is fairly unknown to the public. There are no limitations to 3D printing because you simply draw it and it appears. Advancements are being made every day by scientists and they believe that soon enough they could print fully functioning organs for each patient in need. This technology could be a lifesaver indeed. At the same time, 3D printers could well be used by people to print spare parts and other items of need without a hiccup.Nanotechnology is another sector that is believed to be the future of technology. Scientists all over the world have concluded that in the coming decade if nanotechnology can be applied to dentistry and medical science, it could possibly save thousands of lives each year.Humans conquering the planet Mars is another idea that has intrigued humanity for several years now but it is now something that could happen. Recently, NASA has been conducting research regarding new ways of exploring space with the preference of a manned landing but it is believed to be a thing for the future due to its complexity and the challenges that lie ahead.
As the old saying goes: ’necessity is the mother of invention’, and keeping in mind the unprecedented times our planet has been through recently, inventions have kept the planet moving.
