The Government Office for Science has published a series of bite-sized introductions to some of the most exciting emerging technologies of our time. The introductions explore topics as diverse as neurotechnology, metamaterials, the future of computing, carbon management technologies, fusion energy, robotics and humanoids.
They use the latest evidence and expert insight to set out recent technology developments, potential applications, and opportunities for government alongside challenges.
Government Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Dame Angela McLean said:
These bite-sized introductions can help get you up to speed with some of the most exciting emerging technologies of our time. We hope they will also spark a conversation about what we will need to do for the UK to get the most out of these technologies.
These introductions can also be used by policymakers to support strategic decision-making.
The introductions form part of our series of Rapid Technology Assessments (RTAs) and are an addition to the RTAs covering artificial intelligence, novel batteries, digital twins, 4D printing, nucleic acid technologies, and synthetic genomics.
