Topics related to blockchain and cryptocurrency. | |||||||||
A non-fungible token is a specialized type of cryptographic token that represents something unique or rare. | 2014 | ||||||||
Ethereum is an open-source, public, distributed blockchain computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality, which facilitates online contractual agreements. | July 2015 | ||||||||
Biotechnology in a broad sense includes the use of living systems and organisms, as well as their parts for the development or production of products. | |||||||||
Clean technology refers to a process, product, or service that reduces negative impacts on the environment while offering competitive returns for investors and customers. Clean technologies provide solutions that reduce energy usage, use sustainable resources, or protect the environment. | |||||||||
Topics related to cultured meat, plant-based meat, and cellular agriculture. | |||||||||
is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and protoscientific tradition that was historically practiced in China, India, the Muslim world, and Europe. In its Western form, alchemy is first attested in a number of pseudepigraphical texts written in Greco-Roman Egypt during the first few centuries CE. | |||||||||
A blockchain is an append-only digital ledger storing a set of time-ordered transactions grouped in blocks that are linked together using cryptographic hashes. | |||||||||
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a digital payment system invented by an unknown programmer, or a group of programmers, under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It was released as open-source software in 2009. | |||||||||
Nuclear technology encompasses any technology that utilizes nuclear reactions (changes in atomic nuclei) or the radiation they produce. Notable nuclear technologies include nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons. | December 2, 1942 | ||||||||
RNA-based therapeutics include RNA and oligonucleotide therapeutics that target RNA and proteins. | 1978 | ||||||||
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) or scanning force microscopy (SFM) is a very-high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit. | |||||||||
A convolutional neural network (CNN or ConvNet) is a deep learning algorithm, one of the various types of artificial neural networks used for different applications and data types. | 1980 | ||||||||
Virtual reality is a computer-simulated environment simulating physical presence in real or imagined worlds. | |||||||||
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) is a central technology used by systems and devices for navigation. | |||||||||
Brain-computer interface is a collection of topics, research organizations, companies, and technologies related to brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, also called brain-machine interface (BMI). These devices translate neuronal information into commands that can control software or hardware like computers or robotic devices. | |||||||||
Cultured meats are animal flesh products made from extracted animal cells that are grown in bioreactors and harvested for consumption. Cells are taken from animals such as a chickens, cows, or tuna, and grown using scaffolding and/or self-organizing constructs in bioreactors. | |||||||||
Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) convert heat released by radioactive decay into electricity by the Seebeck effect. | 1954 | ||||||||
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science that deals with the design of programs capable of learning rules from data, adapting to changes, and improving performance with experience. | |||||||||
Central processing unit | November 15, 1971 | ||||||||
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. | |||||||||
A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of additional units of the currency. Cryptocurrencies are a subset of alternative currencies, or specifically of digital currencies. | |||||||||
