Our pick of top 5 advances this year to highlight for our readers :
1. AI/ML : Artificial Intelligence solves problems using neural networks which are based on partial differential equations that are hard to solve. Two new neural networks – DeepONet and Fourier neural operators make this easier.
2. Spacetech : As we watch James Webb Space Telescope launched in space it is rewriting cosmic history.
3. QuantumComputing : Google, using a quantum computer, created a time crystal that would flip back and forth between two distinct states forever, with no energy lost or gained. This violates the second law of thermodynamics
4. Neuroengineering : Rethinking how the brain works: there is not a right brain/left brain distinction anymore. It seems both halves are actually connected.
5. Cleantech : Green Steel plants that emit less than 2% of carbon dioxide emissions as compared to 7-9%.
