GENOME EDITING - CRISPR

WHAT IS IT? WHY DOES IT MATTER?

• Type of engineering in which DNA is • It can cure many genetic diseases like
changed, inserted or deleted. cancer and genetic cused blindness.
• The CRISPR, Clustered Regularly
Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats,
is able to find mutated parts in DNA
and, then, turn them to non-mutated
ones.
NANOROBOTICS

WHAT IS IT? WHY DOES IT MATTER?

• Technology branch that creates • It can be used in nanomedicine:

robots at the scale of the nanometer. • Cancer treatment
• Tissue Restoring
HYPERLOOP

WHAT IS IT? WHY DOES IT MATTER?

• “Train” that is propelled because of • Reduces CO2 emissions

the repulsion between
• Travelling will be much faster
electromagnets located in the rail
and in the mean of transport itself.
3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS IT?
• With 3D printers, we can create
objects using, most of the times, a
molten filament that cools and
hardens, which leads to the
solidification of the piece we came
up with.
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
• 3D printed prosthetic eyes and ears,
blood vessels and can make the
process of making prosthetics much
faster and cheaper.
