7 Marvels of Modern Science

7. Edible Password Pill

Maintaining complicated passwords is a daunting task, but we have to do it to avoid getting hacked. Enter Motorola’s Edible Password Pill. Swallowed once daily, the pill consists of a tiny chip that uses the acid in your stomach to power it on.

Once activated, it emits a specific 18-bit EKG-like signal that can be detected by your phone or computer, essentially turning your body into a password. The pill has acquired FDA approval.

6. Google Glass

Google Glass is, simply put, a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses, and it’s the device that will make augmented reality part of our daily lives. With the half-inch (1.3 cm) display, which comes into focus when you look up and to the right,

Users will be able to take and share photos, video-chat, check appointments and access maps and the Web. Consumers should be able to buy Google Glass at $1,500.

5. 3D Printer A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot. It can make model of 3D

computer model or any scanned object basically with plastic. 3D Printing system was first invented in 1980. But it became popular in 2010.

Industrial 3D Printers

In 2012 3D printers for domestic use are released in market. 3D printing could become a mass market product enabling consumers to save money associated with purchasing common household objects.

4. Brain–computer Interface

A brain–computer interface (BCI), is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. BCIs are often directed at assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions.

In 2009, the world's first personal EEG-based spelling system came to the market. In March 2012, g.tec debuted a new intendiX module called the Screen Overlay Control Interface (SOCI) that could allow users to play World of Warcraft or Angry Birds.

3. Human Cloning

Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning, which is the reproduction of human cells and tissue. The most recent method of two common methods of cloning that are

Being researched is pluripotent stem cell induction. Bone marrow transplantation is a widely used form of stem cell therapy. Research is underway to potentially use stem cell therapy to treat other diseases.

2. Quantum Computer A quantum computer is a computation device that makes direct

use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data.

Quantum computation uses qubits. A quantum computer is 10,000 times faster than a conventional. The first successful quantum computer was D-Wave One.

1. Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is the

manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. The manipulation of matter should at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. The concepts of nanotechnology were first discussed in 1959 by renowned physicist Richard Feynman.

Nanotech is able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. In August 21, 2008, the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies estimates that over 800 manufacturer-identified nanotech products are publicly available.
