Will science put an end to dementia? Is artificial intelligence in autonomous drone-drone combat possible? How about intention decoding algorithms? Pandemic by synthetic organism? DNA-based data storage? Recording of entire human life from birth to death? Animal-free leather? This timeline explore the future, looking ahead to the new technologies, big ideas and possibilities that lie downstream of breakthrough lab discoveries being made today in five science-driven areas: bio-tech, digital-tech, nano-tech, neuro-tech and green-tech.
