15 incredible scientific revolution

The line between science fiction and science leveled more and more every day. 200 years ago people would be shocked by the technological achievements of the 21st century. Planes, cars, and smartphones – that today will not surprise anyone, but it is undeniable that without these inventions further development would be impossible. Provide an overview of recent scientific and medical advances that a few years ago seemed unreal.

1. The printer in 3D
   

Printer 3D been around for ages, but never ceases to amaze with its capabilities. It can be used to create objects of a different nature, from chemical to rubber and metal. You can select the desired program, for example, shoes, tailoring, car, weapon or prosthetics, and the printer will complete the task.

1. Dental patches from Japan
   

Dental care soon will not be needed, as Japanese scientists have developed patches of special strength, which are placed on the teeth and protect against various types of damage, including tooth decay. They are made of the main minerals of the tooth enamel and will be available on the market in a few years. In addition, they have other properties: a cosmetic effect to achieve the perfect white teeth, practicality in application.

1. Meat grown in laboratory conditions
   

Vegetarians will soon be able to treat yourself to a meat animal origin. Today it is very expensive. It is grown in laboratory conditions only a few cells of the animal. For the first time this experiment was conducted by Dutch scientists in 2013. This technology can help people with muscle disease.

1. Robot on fossil fuel
   

For the operation of the robots consume different kinds of energy. Traditional sources now believe the electricity and hydrocarbon fuel. Robots of the near future, for example, EATR (energetically independent tactical robot) will run on fuel of organic origin. The robot itself can feed themselves and, consequently, for a long time to work.

1. Mice with human brain cell
   
   Mankind has long been studying stem cells and are still struggling with the ethical dilemma as you receive them from embryos. Human stem cells can cure many diseases. Recently, they have been implanted in the brains of mice. As a result, animals have evolved additional functional departments.

2. Miniature drones
   

Although it sounds like science fiction, drones are now becoming the main participants in military operations. The smallest robot is considered “Micro air vehicle”. This drone is only 15 cm long. Scientists promise that soon there will be drones the size of insects. In a dystopian future wars will be fought on the computers, all written in books of fiction.

1. Cellular spray for skin
   
   Scientists and plastic surgeons from Australia, Marie stone and Fiona Vuud began developing technology to help victims, poluchivshim serious burns. The spray is applied to the damaged area of the skin, which in 75% of cases regenerates. In the armed forces of the United States have already adopted this technology.

2. Silk from transgenic goats
   

Association of genes of spiders and goats sounds like the plot of a fantasy story, but it's closer to reality than you might think. The Biotechnology company Nexia successfully created transgenic goats with spider genes, capable of weaving, ultra-thin and ultra tough material that is produced from their milk. The resulting web is ten times stronger than steel, and can be used in prosthetics, and for making light body armor.

1. Camera in a pill
   

Many are familiar with such a horrible procedure, like a colonoscopy, but the new technology will make it absolutely simple – you just need to swallow the pill camera. Company Given Imaging created a similar camera “PillCam”. Already 1.5 million patients have experienced this technology, but not in all countries available.

1. Cloning of endangered animal species
   

Unbelievable, but scientists probably have not seen the movie "Jurassic Park". Cloning is no surprise today. In Russia and in South Korea scientists have tried to clone mammoths. You can clone thylacine and Alpine goat. I hope that the queue to the raptors will not come.

1. The prosthesis is controlled by thought
   
   Prosthetic limbs today are not developed properly, but new technologies based on the ideas of science fiction, designed to improve the field of medicine. Inventor scooter “Segway” founded the company engaged in the development of prosthetic hands, which can be controlled by thought, “DEKA arm”. Electronic impulses through special sensors transmit a signal to the prosthesis, and it performs even complex tasks – the key opens the door. The prosthesis is being improved and will soon be available to needy patients.

2. Robot anesthesiologist
   

Distinctive features of the future are robots that do work at home or very complex technological problems. And a robot anesthesiologist will find a use in medicine. During surgery, the role of the anesthesiologist is very important and difficult, as it needs every minute to monitor the patient's condition. These functions will be performed by robots. Today they take part in operations.

1. Wheelchair controlled by thought
   

To control the prosthesis attached to the body is one, and to manage the chair that can move with your mind, it is incredible to be a reality. But these chairs will soon be available. Scientists Federal Institute of technology in Lausanne developed and controlled by thought, and a computer chair that takes the simple commands, such as" "go forward" or "turn left".

1. People with a microchip
   

Implantation of the chip sounds like something scary from the novel Orwell's "1984" or Huxley "O brave new world". The microchip implant has long been a pet to know about their whereabouts, but the idea is that the same thing will make people scary. It will allow to obtain medical information if the person is unconscious, but with the same success, someone will be able to control people for their own purposes.

1. Bionic eyes
   

The blind seeing may have just been in the biblical period of human development, but today, such a miracle was possible thanks to technology. Scientists have worked for decades on the development of bionic eyes. In Australia come to grips with these expensive technologies. While he may not be 100% restore sight to blind people, but on the technology continue to work.
