From AI-powered micro-cameras monitoring the world’s oceans to the graduation of quantum computers from the lab into the real world, here’s a summary of these game-changing breakthroughs.
  1. AI-powered robot microscopes will help clean up the world’s water supplies

Water shortage is a problem that could affect up to a quarter of the world’s population by 2025. The behavior of microscopic plankton can give vital clues on everything from chemical pollution levels to temperature change.
Autonomous, robotic cameras developed by IBM and powered by AIhave the potential to monitor this behavior in more detail than has been possible before. Data from the cameras can be analyzed to give real-time insights into factors affecting water quality and life in our lakes and oceans.

7 Science Innovations That Are Changing Conservation

In our still relatively brief existence, humans have evolved our way to an era many are now calling the Anthropocene – a new geological epoch defined by human impact on Earth. But our unparalleled creativity is a double-edge sword. We are undeniably contributing to many of the global challenges now facing our species, and all species who share this planet. At the same time, it is because of our impact that the world needs human innovation now more than ever. We know we must stabilize our climate. We know we must meet the

Posted by Philip,Abuja Unlike chocolate chip cookies or tomato soup, the invention of bread can't be pinned down to a single person or people; instead, it evolved to its present state over the course of millennia. Although the modern version of sliced bread is a fairly new invention ( Wonder Bread began marketing  the first sliced loaf of bread in 1930), bread itself is an ancient food with origins dating back more than 22,000 years. In 2004, at an excavation site called Ohalo II, in what is modern-day Israel,  scientists found  22,000-year-old barley grains caught in a grinding stone: the first evidence of humans processing wild cereal grains. But these early "bread"
