Future Frontiers in Science and Technological Innovation

The merging of new technologies is changing our perception of what we can do in science and engineering. This chapter focuses on the frontier changes that are about to transform the human capacity, environmental sustainability, and social systems over the next decades. Our products are quantum computing architectures, neuromorphic artificial intelligence, synthetic biology platforms, and advanced materials science, all of which are interrelated fields of focus. We also show how these technologies are transforming out of theoretical models and into practical uses in the world by exploring the latest advancements in the field and their application by people to tackle the most urgent issues facing humanity.
