Automation Is At A Tipping Point
CHIEFEXECUTIVE

As technology continues to progress, the use of automation in both software and hardware is also growing. In fact, it is believed that in the coming years, all businesses worldwide will need to move towards automation so as not to fall behind. This may introduce challenges for smaller businesses where integrating automation is difficult. In this article published by chiefexecutive, learn about how automation is being used, how robotics factors into the mix, and what collaborative robots are.

Myopia Epidemic

Myopia Epidemic Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide, it is the leading cause of visual impairment in children, and its incidence is increasing rapidly. 1,2  In 2010, an estimated 1.9 billion people (27% of the world’s population) were myopic, and 70 million of them (2.8%) had high myopia. These numbers are projected to rise to 52% and 10%, respectively, by 2050 (Figure). 1 Figure.

DNA data storage

  DNA data storage An alternative to hard drives is progressing: DNA-based data storage. DNA—which consists of long chains of the nucleotides A, T, C and G—is life’s information-storage material. Data can be stored in the sequence of these letters, turning DNA into a new form of information technology. It is already routinely sequenced (read), synthesized (written to) and accurately copied with ease. DNA is also incredibly stable, as has been demonstrated by the complete genome sequencing of a fossil horse that lived more than 500,000 years ago. And storing it does not require much energy. But it is the storage capacity that shines. DNA can accurately stow massive amounts of data at a density far exceeding that of electronic devices. The simple bacterium  Escherichia coli , for instance, has a storage density of about 10 19  bits per cubic centimeter, according to calculations published in 2016 in  Nature Materials  by George Church of Harvard University and his...

The first flying boat

  The first flying boat Well… it was only a matter of time! In an incredible feat for the maritime sector, the first-ever flying boat was recently introduced to the market. The Pioneer of Belfast – developed by Belfast-based Artemis Technologies – is propelled out of the water by a wing-like structure on its underside. Using an electric motor, the Pioneer successfully reduces emissions by up to 90%. And since 90% of global trade is shipped by water, it’s another huge step in the right direction for the UK’s mission towards net zero. This is great for the future of shipping which will reduce energy costs, maintenance costs and the creation of swell which is an issue in well chartered waters.
