CRISPR for high cholesterol CRISPR started with experimental treatments for rare genetic disorders and has recently expanded into clinical trials for common conditions, including high cholesterol. AI that makes images Software models developed by Google, OpenAI, and others can now generate stunning artworks based on just a few text prompts. A chip design that changes everything The chip industry is undergoing a profound shift. Now, a popular open standard called RISC-V is upending those power dynamics by making it easier for anyone to create a chip. Mass-market military drones Advances in consumer componentry and communications technology have helped drone manufacturers build complex war machines at much lower prices. The Turkish Bayraktar TB2 and other cheap drones have changed the nature of drone warfare. Abortion pills via telemedicine Healthcare providers and startups have turned to telehealth to prescribe and deliver pills that allow people to safely induce abortions at home. Organs on demand Scientists are genetically engineering pigs whose organs could be transplanted into humans and 3D-printing lungs using a patient's own cells. The inevitable EV Electric vehicles are finally becoming a realistic option. Major automakers have pledged to go all-electric, and consumers everywhere will soon find there are more good reasons to buy an EV than not. James Webb Space Telescope Discoveries will come almost as rapidly as scientists can analyze the data now flooding in. A new era of astronomy has begun. Ancient DNA analysis Genomic sequencing tools now let us read very old strands of human DNA. It also helps scientists understand the lives of regular people living back then—not just those who could afford elaborate burials. Battery recycling Companies are building facilities that will reclaim lithium, nickel, and cobalt and feed these metals back to lithium-ion battery manufacturers, helping reduce the cost. Make 2024 the year your keep up with the fast-paced world of technological innovations and their impact on the way you live and work.
