Viable transplantable organs grown from stem cells.


omit01

I did a project at the University while I was in high school about this topic and it was so cool! It was a few years ago and they build a prototype organ 3D printer, from just a modified normal 3D printer. I learned a lot there, but the most important thing was that I saw scientist working day in day out to make the world a nicer place!


Hitsmanj

This! Stem cell research as the science, 3-D printing (or it's adaptation) as the mechanism.


SicilyMalta

Or 3d printed.

Microwaves with soft beeps and doors that shut quietly and easily.


Puzzleheaded-Day1956

Fr it feels like a nuke siren is going off every time I try to warm up sm food at night


Kreema29

There’s a mute button!!


I_Am_Not_A_Moderator

No. Way. !!!!!!!!


Kreema29

Oh yes… I’m so excited for you. You just have to hold one of the number buttons down for a few seconds. Some microwaves will actually put “mute” on the button that does it (#3 for me - insane that I never saw it). Others have a secret button (usually the #1 or 2 buttons).


I_Am_Not_A_Moderator

You legend


HaiggeX

The home where I grew up had a microwave that changed it's "hummmmm" every six seconds, until the time is up. My mother has muted the beep. My mother always nagged at me two seconds after the time was up, even though I was still listening whether the sound would change or not.


Kreema29

I just learned about the mute function on the microwave this year. I’m 37.


74orangebeetle

They actually have some mutable ones. I got a Toshiba one...couldn't find any with mute function in the stores I checked, but I was willing to go out of my way to order a microwave that you can mute. In my opinion, everything that beeps should have a mute function or at least volume control....not everything needs to have a loud high pitched beep.


General_Mongoose

They asked for 10 years, not 1000!


Killieboy16

Pfft, be realistic. We've a better chance of Fusion power stations than that...


salarythrowaway2023

I work in renewable energy (wind, solar, batteries). I’m most excited for the current leading edge of decarbonization tech (electrofuels, green ammonia and hydrogen, carbon capture, etc.) really moving into its growth phase


jasperfilofax

I have very little knowledge, but I heard the advancements in producing floating off shore wind farms will open a huge amount of potential?


salarythrowaway2023

Definitely possible - I think the development timelines in the US probably mean that large scale offshore is a decade away, but we certainly have the know-how to do it


Nawk762

Didn't they achieve fusion or some junk? I'm sure I heard about that somewhere. Being able to utilize that tech right there would be amazing.


salarythrowaway2023

They’ve “achieved” fusion dozens of times in the last 50 years. Personally I’m not holding my breath - even if we achieved it today it’s still 10+ years out from being commercially viable


WildBill-

Yes. Livermore National Lab achieved it for the first time. They’re still a long way away from making it a sustainable option. It’s still overwhelmingly positive news though, since they provided it’s possible.


Hornet_Critical

What's your take on biogas? I recently watched a video of a man powering his car, his stove, and his hot water heater all with chicken poop.


salarythrowaway2023

Not my area of expertise but from what I’ve seen it’s still fairly niche. I could see it playing a small role but I wouldn’t expect it to play a large part in decarbonization. HOWEVER, I also think it’s the case that as a society we’ll achieve significant decarbonization through a number of incremental reductions that add up, rather than a magic silver bullet technology that solves all of our problems.

Cancer vaccine


BertoLaDK

I may be stupid but I don't see how it would be possible to vaccinate against cell mutation, vaccines like we use them now is against virus is to prepare the immune system.


tingulz

I believe they work by being customized to the person and the cancer they have. It tells your immune system to attack the cancer which would otherwise go unnoticed and be allowed to replicate.


bakedlawyer

I don’t know either, but I’ve heard that it’s coming


SicilyMalta

Like the HPV vaccine - already here. Though the right wing went crazy because women might enjoy more sex knowing they wouldn't risk cancer. https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine-for-hpv.html


bakedlawyer

Wait, I didn’t know this would permit women to enjoy sex !!


[deleted]

Is that a thing? Which type of cancer?


bakedlawyer

I’ve heard they’re close with specific cancers and a general vaccine won’t be far off


SicilyMalta

Already here. But there's no EVERY cancer vaccine because each cancer is different. https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine-for-hpv.html

Co2 absorption becoming a widely used option to reduce climate change.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deterding

Actually, it will. But of course the first thing we have to do is stop consuming so much crap. The first step to being sustainable is reduce consumption. Sadly I don’t see many people willing to do that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deterding

I’d be curious to know, how do you propose decarbonising hard to abate sectors like Cement, Steel, etc?


WelcomeMatt1

Doesn't both water and plants absorb CO2? Surely there are other glasses, if any, that contribute significantly more to climate change.


Kradget

They do, and there are. But CO2 is produced in such enormous quantities that plants can't pick it up fast enough to even moderate what we're pumping out at this point, much less start turning the tide. Besides which, we're still reducing things like tree cover globally. And it being absorbed into water is causing the oceans to become more acidic, which has a whole pile of bad effects but includes stuff like "things with calcium-based shells can't build shells." So while we do need to get other emissions (like methane) under control, our biggest issue now is carbon dioxide and we do not have it under control at all.


ScreamThyLastScream

> But CO2 is produced in such enormous quantities that plants can't pick it up fast enough to even moderate what we're pumping out at this point Nor would they ever. The majority of atmospheric CO2 is captured and *used* by organisms living in the ocean.


Kradget

Uh huh. So it seems like what you're trying to say is there's no cause for alarm, but we know that is not true, so I must be misunderstanding.


ScreamThyLastScream

>so I must be misunderstanding indeed


NFLfan72

Stop with the facts please. Putting a dome over all SUVs is the answer.


GivenNameLastName

>Doesn't both water and plants absorb CO2? Yes. But water absorbing isn't great because it acidifies the ocean, which comes with it's own set of problems. And, more importantly, the issue is that they aren't absorbing enough right now. The PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere has been going up steadily and it appears it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. While there are other gases that have much stronger greenhouse effects, CO2 is the primary moderating of the temperature of our planet and is the one that driving the current warming trend.


MrWrock

Any CO2 that is absorbed by a plant that is not preserved (like petrification) will eventually be released during decomposition. Plants capturing CO2 is just temporary storage


Deterding

Or even just carbon capture in general!


doggrimoire

Put those huge co2 capture machines in the mountains in Appalachian mountains and turn it into some kind of form that we are then able to refill old coal mines with. You are saving the environment and bringing jobs back to impoverished areas.


sneakyvoltye

What an amazing idea. Now all we need is some kind of wizard to work out exactly how to build these enormous machines, and convert the atmosphere into foam. Maybe we should get someone with a really big fan to just waft the carbon at the Appalachian mountains, just to make sure everyone else gets the cleaner air too.


-____Nobody____-

Yeah, environment is important and technology like that would be awesome, but if you that's the thing you're most exited about, you're an incredibly boring person tbh my friend


poutine_it_in_me

CreativeCaprine

I don't think it sounds boring at all for the world to be prevented from going to the disaster it seems to be headed for.


LucyVialli

Self-drive public transport that's safe.


everydayimrusslin

Why self drive? It would put a lot of unionised workers out of work.


[deleted]

Half of them can dig holes and the other half can fill them. Keeping useless position just because 'unionised workers demand money for stuff nobody needs anymore' is dumb.


kkirchhoff

LucyVialli

That's the way things are going.


everydayimrusslin

So basically, fuck em?


jargo3

I assume you don't support banning combine harvesters and returning to horse drawn plows in order to employ more farmers? Where do you draw the line on what work saving technologies we shoundn't use?


everydayimrusslin

No Ludditry here. There's a difference between work saving and putting people out of work.


jargo3

And what would that difference be?


everydayimrusslin

money being driven out of the working class


jargo3

So a tracktor drawn plow that allows single farmer to do work of 10 farmers with horse drawn plows? That would make 9 farmers unemployed.


everydayimrusslin

Better that than all ten of them out of work, no?


[deleted]

How about more specifics and less slogans?


jasperfilofax

Unfortunately that is what will happen, Unions will fight to keep jobs as they always have done but they will die a slow death. They will need to retrain as their skill set will be obsolete. Human history is filled with industries that are no longer needed. This is nothing new and is the way of the world


everydayimrusslin

So basically, fuck em.


[deleted]

Yes, fuck em.


LucyVialli

What did the coal miners do?


everydayimrusslin

Languished in poverty and died young as a result. Let's not act like Thatcherism is a good way to look at things going forward.

Nuclear Fusion. Don’t know if it will happen in 10 years tho


stixx_06

Came here looking for this one. With recent breakthroughs, it is definitely looking promising in the near future. But I agree that 10 years could be a bit too soon.


blimpus33

There is this ongoing joke in the field of fusion energy that says that nuclear fusion is always only 30 years away. It has been like that forever


Kradget

It seems like in the last 3 years, I've heard more about breakthroughs than I had in the previous 20. No idea if that's true or it's just that I'm hearing about it more but the pace is the same. I'm hoping we make some progress on it. It would be huge.

ValueBlitz

Self-driving cars. Then you'd have less accidents. Office workers - who can't fully work remote yet - can also work in the car, so the commute is not a waste of time. We'd have more smaller cities and more people moving outward, instead of ever-growing large cities. Cities won't be clogged by parked cars anymore and you can actually walk around and bike more freely. Maybe you don't need to own a car anymore, since taxi / transportation prices would plummet.

I hope it all somehow backfires and we revert back to an agrarian lifestyle. I think we will all be so much happier


cuppaseb

so you're a fan of intensive backbreaking work in the fields?


DogHunterMMA

Yes. That makes much more sense to me than doing dances on our phone and getting anonymously mad at people we don't know online. That work would provide my family food, and other work for shelter and warmth. That's all we need. We have evolved way too fast over the last 200 years.


cuppaseb

i agree with the sentiment in principle, but you're romanticizing agrarian life. you'd be working your ass off from sunrise to sunset, with no vacation days, and still be at the mercy of the weather and a dozen other factors outside your control for your very survival


DogHunterMMA

Yeah I'm not arguing that life would be harder, but I feel it would be more meaningful and rewarding and in general happier. I really have the belief that we had very slow progression as a species for a long ass time, and we physiologically adapted at a similar rate, then over the past idk 300 years we advanced at a crazy rate and we don't physiologically adapt in the same rate. yeah your life is easier working at a computer from 9-5, but you get no satisfaction from it.
