Technologies

2. Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology, abbreviated to
nanotech, is the use of matter on a
nuclear, atomic, and supramolecular
scale for modern purposes.
Quantum Computing
A type of computer known as quantum computing can use quantum
mechanical phenomena including superposition, interference, and
entanglement in its operations. Quantum computers are machines that
carry out quantum calculations.
Machine learning
Machine learning is an area of research focused on comprehending and
developing "learning" processes, or processes that use data to enhance
performance on a given set of tasks.
It is a component of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence
With the exception of the natural
intelligence exhibited by animals,
including humans, artificial
intelligence is a form of intelligence
demonstrated by robots.
The study of intelligent agents, or
any system that understands its
environment and acts in a way that
maximizes its chances of
succeeding, has been defined as the
focus of AI research.

3. Robotics
Computer science and engineering have
several interdisciplinary subfields, including
robotics.
Design, build, use, and operation of robots are
all part of robotics.
Designing tools that can aid and support
humans is the aim of robotics.
Digitized biology
It needs to take all of these factors into account in order to build and
analyze computer simulations of biological systems that are inspired by
natural phenomena, from individual cells to vast ecosystems, and then use
that data to come up with fresh and inventive approaches to studying life.
Space technologies
Space technology is defined as equipment used for operations such as
spaceflight, space exploration, and Earth observation that take place outside
of Earth's atmosphere.
Extended reality
All combined real-and-virtual
worlds, human-machine
interactions, and wearable
technologies are together referred
to as "extended reality."
E.g. It covers places interpolated
between representative forms like
augmented reality, mixed reality,
and virtual reality.

4. Drones
Unmanned aircraft, or drones.
The more official names for drones are
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned
aircraft systems.
A drone, in its simplest form, is a flying robot
that may be remotely controlled or fly on its
own utilizing software-controlled flight plans in
its embedded systems, which collaborate with
onboard sensors and a global positioning
system (GPS).
Alternative energy
Energy that is derived from resources that can be regenerated naturally over
time and are therefore considered to be renewable.
It includes heat sources like geothermal energy, wind, water, and sunlight.
Despite the fact that the majority of renewable energy sources are
sustainable, some are not.
Blockchain
A blockchain is a kind of digital ledger technology that is made up of an
expanding list of documents, known as blocks, that are safely connected to
one another using encryption.
Each block includes transaction information, a timestamp, and a
cryptographic hash of the one before it.
Internet-of-Things
The term "Internet of things" refers to actual physical things that have
sensors, computing power, software, and other technologies and can link to
other systems and devices via the Internet or other communication
networks and exchange data with them.

5. Cryptography
The study and application of methods for safe communication in the context
of hostile activity is known as cryptography, or cryptology.
Creating and analyzing protocols that prevent the public or third parties from
reading private messages is more generally referred to as cryptography.
Modern cryptography places a strong emphasis on several information
security principles, including data confidentiality, data integrity,
authentication, and non-repudiation.
3D printing/additive manufacturing
Anyone can create geometrically challenging items, forms, and textures with
3D printing or additive manufacturing. It frequently employs less material
than conventional manufacturing techniques and enables the fabrication of
goods that conventional manufacturing techniques could not reasonably
make.
Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is the technique of funding a project or business venture by
soliciting contributions from many people, most commonly online in the
modern day. Crowdfunding is a type of alternative finance and
crowdsourcing.
Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing refers to a process in which a sizable number of dispersed
individuals, either for money or as volunteers, contribute or produce
goods or services, including ideas, votes, microtasks, and cash.
