Groundbreaking inventions that are changing the world in 2023. To further expand the world of inventions, the stars full of innovation shone in 2023, because this year also saw the race of knowledge and wisdom, discoveries, and inventions continue very fast around the world. Research and inventions are the basis of the development of every country. There are elements. Without them, it is difficult to move the country on the path of development, although various experts and scientists have presented many inventions and discoveries in 2023.
Last year, experts developed carbon dioxide-absorbing wood, an air pollution measuring device, bacteria-killing foam, a flying camera that can be stored in a jeep, and many more. If it is said that these inventions can change the map of any country, It won't be wrong if they play an important role. What else happened in the world of technology in 2023? You will get an idea of it by reading the review report on inventions.
Power bank and security camera together
In 2023, a private company invented a powerful power bank with a 1080-resolution camera that can be used for home security. The most important thing is that the power of this power bank is 22000 mAh, and the output is 197 watts. It has a sound recorder and a high-resolution video camera with night vision that can stream video and audio directly to your phone.
Internally, there is 64GB of local storage, while it can also note slight movement on the front. Despite having so many features, it is very light in weight and easily fits in the hands. Wherever the camera is facing, it shows a 135-degree view and broadcasts it to your smart app. It can be placed in home security, child protection, cars, etc. Its feature is that it does not need any extra wire to use. The power bank can charge mobile phones about 70 times a day.
Carbon dioxide-absorbing engineered wood
Last year, experts from Rice University developed a sustainable and environmentally friendly material for buildings. This wood will not only be useful for the house and building, but it will also absorb CO2. In fact, they are made of 'Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFS)'. For this, the underlying structure of the wood is removed.
Wood is generally made up of three materials: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. After extracting the lignin, MOF was added to it. When it was added to wood, it surprisingly became stronger than ordinary wood, and it also began to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. Thus, engineered wood not only became stronger than before but also absorbed carbon. It has also become an environmentally friendly product.
A dark opening 30 billion times the size of the Sun has been found.
Last year, British astronomers discovered a black hole 30 billion times the mass of the Sun, the largest black hole ever discovered. It is 8,000 times larger than Sagittarius A at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery is made possible by the phenomenon of gravitational lensing and is the first time that a black hole has been discovered using this technique.
Gravitational lensing occurs when a galaxy in front bends and magnifies light from distant objects behind it. Using this technique, Durham University researchers took a closer look at the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth.
The brightest space explosion is two billion light years away.
In 2023, the most splendid blast happened two billion light-years from Earth. This resulted in the release of extremely intense radiation that enveloped the entire solar system and affected the instruments installed in several spacecraft. Gamma rays Such explosions are known as the most powerful and brightest explosions in the universe.
This burst has been named GRB 221009A. Analysis of 7,000 gamma-ray bursts revealed that GRB 221009A was the brightest burst ever observed. His teasing continued for a few seconds. During this period, several times more energy was released than our sun.
Oil-absorbing and bacteria-killing foam
Last year, scientists at the University of Georgia developed a foam that can absorb oil from the environment on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also absorb bacteria during medical equipment and operations. It has been named "Superfoam." The phone is three-dimensional and is crafted from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fabric.
It is coated with small particles of graphene, while copper filings are placed, which are effective in removing germs. Interestingly, the foam absorbs other contaminated liquids like chloroform, hydrochloric acid, and other harmful contaminants, and then the copper nanoparticles make it completely sterile.
A salt that distills carbon dioxide
Last year, to distill carbon dioxide, scientists developed a salt that can store ribbon dioxide at ambient pressure and temperature using modest energy. This method could change the way industry distills, transports, and stores this greenhouse gas. Liquid gonidinium sulfate is electrically charged with carbon dioxide; in some cases, it is single-crystalline gonidinium sulfate. A basic clathrate salt was formed because the solution was covered with carbon dioxide without forming a strong bond.
A computer vision system that creates a luminous object camera
In 2023, experts developed a computer vision system that takes images from the reflection of bright and shiny objects in the room. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Rice University have jointly created this computer vision system. In this way, a camera can be made out of anything that has a bit of shine, from metal to plastic. This system can turn even modestly reflective objects into digital sensors. In this way, imaging is also possible with side-absorbed and reflected light.
This computer vision can see every single angle and geometry, and thus it all combines to form an image. A two-dimensional (3D) image of an object is placed in a multi-dimensional environment to create a three-dimensional image of it, and thus a photo can be taken only from the image. 'Ka is named. First of all, the glowing object is photographed from several angles. The depth of the image is then measured. A computer algorithm then creates that image. Thus, reflective surfaces can be turned into virtual sensors for the camera. Sides, corners, and hidden corners can also be seen through computer vision systems.
A two-dimensional microchip
Dr. Mario Lanza and his colleagues from King Abdulaziz University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia will create the world's first two-dimensional microchip in 2023. This chip performs great work at low power. The chip was made conceivable by the disclosure of graphene, the most slender layer of graphite, in 2004. Making it viable was also a challenge. Silicon-based 'complementary metal oxide semiconductor' (CMOS) circuits were first used as a basis.
He then prepared a six-dimensional (hexagonal) toady material from boron nitrate that was etched onto a very thin copper foil, then carefully placed on a CMOS circuit. Electrodes were formed, and the circuit was fabricated by photolithography. Thus, cells were formed, which consisted of a transistor and a memristor. The thickness of the two-dimensional boron nitrate layer was only 18 atoms or 6 nanometers. A current was passed through them, which was controlled, and then the Toddy chip was tested for a long period, and it showed excellent performance.
A pocketable flying camera
In 2023, scientists developed a flying camera that could fit in a pocket. It weighs 125 grams and follows a pre-programmed path to capture great video. The fist-sized "Hover Camera X-One" takes three seconds to fly, so no moment can escape the camera's eye. Five flight paths can be pre-programmed to give video footage a new twist, including overhead, pursuit, circling, or orbit and hover options.
Thanks to its powerful camera, it captures stunning cinema-quality videos. Its special feature is that the drone camera is very easy to fly and control. In its hover position, it continuously stays in the same place and takes videos or selfies. On the other hand, forward and backward, right and left, its speed can be up to 20 km per hour. Its computer vision algorithm doesn't let the camera stray from its course. It includes several stabilization features to keep it steady in high winds.
A lamp to eliminate air pollution in the room
Last year, experts from South Korea's Yonsei University developed a lamp shade to keep indoor air clean, which protects the air in the room from pollution. Lampshade coating is made of titanium dioxide and platinum. Destroys harmful chemical vapors inside.
Although it is low in platinum content, it is rapidly depleted or converted to harmless components as household chemicals come into contact with it. The heat of the bulb plays an important role in this process. When the bulb heats up to 100 degrees Celsius, it converts the tail aldehyde gas (a common household pollutant) to acetic acid, producing a small amount of carbon dioxide in the process.
Hovering a drone without electricity
Last year, South Korean scientists created a micro-drone that uses 150 degrees less energy than conventional drones, generates electricity from the wind, and can stay aloft for long periods. And so they cannot be made to fly for a long time. Under this reduction, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has successfully tested it in an experimental wind tunnel.
Drones generate electricity from the air and stay in the air for a long time. It uses airwaves to hover and is also an important innovation in energy-saving. It works even with a slight breeze. It is named the Micro Air Vehicle (MAV). Based on its sensors and algorithms, it notices the change in airwaves and keeps changing its position. Thus, it can fly successfully while consuming minimal energy. This drone (MAV) can be used for search and rescue, surveillance, and continuous aerial surveillance of a place.
An experiment in generating electricity from dead bacteria
Last year, experts from the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, conducted a successful experiment generating electricity from dead E. coli bacteria. The team of scientists modified the bacteria, using a mechanism called extracellular electron transfer (EET), to make them highly efficient electrical microbes.
This process triples the production of electrical current compared to conventional methods. Although these unusual microbes that generate electricity naturally can only do so in the presence of specific chemicals, E. coli can grow in a variety of places, which means that electricity can be generated in a variety of environments, including wastewater.
Pacemakers charged by pulses
In 2023, scientists will have created a pacemaker that can partially recharge its battery using heartbeats. The purpose of building it is to generate fresh electrical energy. The device can regenerate about 10 percent of the energy needed to trigger another heartbeat. In addition, this pacemaker also offers an extended battery life of 6 to 15 years compared to a conventional pacemaker. In this pacemaker, mechanical and electrical energy are linked together and can be exchanged back and forth, as ultrasound converts electrical voltage into pressure or sound.
A device that keeps the mind active without the body
Last year, experts invented a device that can keep the mind alive and active without the body. With the help of computerized algorithms, the scientists maintained the blood pressure, volume, temperature, and nutrient demand in the brain. According to the team of neurologists, despite receiving no biological intervention from the rest of the body, there was a very slight change in brain activity.
Scientists say the success of the experiment could open new avenues for studying the human brain without involving other functions of the body. While this technology has raised the hope of opening the way for brain transplant possibilities in the future, According to Professor of Neurology Juan Pascal, this new method makes it possible to conduct research that focuses on the brain independent of the body and answers all these biological questions like never before.
