With blockchain applications running the gamut from voting to genomics, it’s clear that there’s more potential to be uncovered for this emerging technology.In 2017, Bitcoin was the word on everyone’s lips when blockchain came to mind. Within a year, the price of a single Bitcoin had surged from US$830 to nearly US$20,000. As we now all know, this historic peak was quickly followed by the burst of the Bitcoin bubble.
Automation for Safety and Productivity in ManufacturingLearn more about three new robot technologies that can revolutionise our future industries
One of the first industries to embrace automation, manufacturing remains on the leading edge of adopting robot technology. Think, for example, of the automotive industry’s move from the assembly line to the heavy use of robotics in the last century. Manufacturing has pushed engineering innovations into the field, as robots increase efficiency, precision and safety, as well as decrease operating errors and costs.
Technological innovations to maintain physical distance and facilitate contactless communication will help equip workplaces transition to a new normal.The consensus is that 2020 has been a year of unprecedented challenges. Not many would have predicted the extent to which a pandemic of this scale would grip the world, shut down global economies, and force people away from offices and into their homes for the foreseeable future.
Global Trade Gets a Digital UpgradeDevelop innovative digital solutions through the Trade & Connectivity Challenge and take Singapore’s vibrant trade ecosystem to the next level.As the first Southeast Asian country with a container port, Singapore has cemented its place as a strategic trade hub over the decades.
Promising to transform the way the world transacts, blockchain is swiftly becoming a technology to be reckoned with.
Filling Our Cups for the Future
Do you have an idea to change the global beverage industry? Apply to the Future of Beverages’ Open Innovation Call and turn your ideas into reality.
Water is essential for life, but people have been finding different ways to stay hydrated and enhance the taste of water since the dawn of mankind. Tea was supposedly discovered in 2732 B.C. while beer goes back even further into the mists of time, with evidence that people began brewing some 13,000 years ago.
Healthcare Made Non-Invasive
New technology and prototypes herald speedier, cheaper and less invasive medical tests.
When it comes to using medical tests to diagnose diseases or monitor health, it isn’t always enough for the test to be accurate. Cost, ease of use, speed and risk level all factor into the decision to administer any test.
Technologies transforming photovoltaics
Improvements in perovskite technology are combining with self-cleaning and solar forecasting innovations to make photovoltaics even more attractive than before.
Fishing for solutions in a sea of innovation
The Aquaculture Innovation Centre is looking to support and grow the aquaculture industry in Singapore through collaboration and open innovation.
Exciting applications of VR/AR
Check out these three virtual and augmented reality TechOffers that could soon be in our workplaces and homes.
One of the first head-mounted displays to be made—named the Sword of Damocles—was a daunting contraption; the display hung in mid-air, suspended by a mechanical arm connected to the ceiling. Users had to be strapped into an uncomfortable device, and the computer-generated graphics only showed primitive wireframe objects. Not surprisingly, the Sword of Damocles never really took off.
