A Multiverse of Exploration: The Future of Science 2021 Invisibility cloaks. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence. A Facebook for genes. These were just a few of the startling topics IFTF explored at our Technology Horizons Program conference in on the "Future of Science." More than a dozen scientists from UC Berkeley, Stanford, UC Santa Cruz, Scripps Research Institute, SETI, and private industry shared their edgiest research driving transformations in science. MythBusters' Adam Savage weighed in on the future of science education. All of their presentations were signals supporting IFTF's new "Future of Science" forecast, laid out in a new map titled "A Multiverse of Exploration: The Future of Science 2021" (featured on CNN's What's Next and BoingBoing). The map focuses on six big stories of science that will play out over the next decade: Decrypting the Brain, Hacking Space, Massively Multiplayer Data, Sea the Future, Strange Matter, and Engineered Evolution. Those stories are emerging from a new ecology of science shifting toward openness, collaboration, reuse, and increased citizen engagement in scientific research.

"Frankly, when I hear that one startup has copied another startup, I really don’t care (give me the numbers, show me the traction). People complain about copying way too much. In my article on HaiVL one reader said that it’s a “9gag clone like a few others in the market”. While for CocCoc’s recent Coromrowser), some said that “CocCoc stole Chrome source code then renamed it Cờ-rôm”. And complaints like this don’t just happen online, they happen in conversations at startup events and throughout discussions in meeting rooms. I hear too often comments like “They’re successful but they copied so-and-so”. But seriously, get over it." Delete the scoop?

"Two articles in this issue of Environmental Health Perspectives—Xia et al. (2013) and Bonner et al. (2013)—report results of a unique collaborative approach to environmental health research. The consortium behind these studies (the Nano GO Consortium), which is developing standardized methods for assessing the health and safety implications of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), represents a new model of shared science that may offer lessons for other emerging and fast-evolving areas of research.
ENMs (man-made particles with any external dimension between 1 and 100 nm) have enabled considerable advances in electronics, drugs and medical devices, environmental remediation, and many other areas (Kessler 2011). They are fast becoming ubiquitous in products such as sunscreens, cosmetics, clothing, and building materials. Global demand for nanomaterials and nanoenabled devices is expected to approach $3.1 trillion by 2015 (Marquis et al. 2009)."

La plupart des robots humanoïdes en cours de développement sont rigides au niveau de leurs articulations. Ceci pose un problème de sécurité lorsque l’on veut le faire interagir avec l’homme, et notamment des enfants en bas âge. Imaginez les conséquences dramatiques (!) d’une chute d’un robot humanoïde de plus d’un mètre sur un enfant de moins 2 ans. Boum ! Au revoir bébé, et le robot part à la poubelle ! Pour éviter ce genre de désagrément, une équipe italienne est en train de travailler sur un robot humanoïde aux jointures flexibles. Via JP Fourcade, Lockall

Des actionneurs souples pour plus de sécurité Les robots sont de plus en plus conscients d’eux-mêmes et de leur entourage. Dans le cadre du projet européen AMARSI, une équipe du Département de Robotique Avancée(ADVR) pourrait même leur faire gravir une marche supplémentaire. En les équipant d’articulations non rigides, ces robots pourraient en cas de chute, éviter les accidents avec les personnes présentes et amortir les chocs.
L’équipe de chercheurs a développé le COmpliant huMANoid (COMAN), premier robot complet à porter des articulations à raideur variable. De la taille d’un enfant de quatre ans, le COMAN mesure 94,5 cm de hauteur (des pieds à la nuque) et pèse 31.2 kg. Il dispose de 25 degrés de liberté, avec un mélange de liaisons rigides et souples. Les 14 joints semi-rigides utilisés pour les bras et les jambes sont en réalité des actionneurs élastiques modulaires et de petite taille, conçus sur mesure par l’équipe. L’intérieur du COMAN est fait d’un alliage de titane, d’acier inoxydable et d’aluminium. L’extérieur est fait en plastique ABS rigide.

As admirable as Stop the Cyborgs and 5 Point Cafe’s efforts may be, there’s little hope that the cyborg-ification of humans will stop. No child wants to grow up to be a cyborg, yet humanity is increasingly becoming cybernetic. Many people cannot reasonably function without the use of hearing aids, artificial hips, mind-controlled prosthetic limbs or computerized speech generators. These devices are necessities, and no one faults their users for taking advantage of them. Google Glass is admittedly a different beast altogether, as it is an elective tool and could be used to violate non-wearers’ privacy.
But right or wrong, it’s only the beginning. From retinal implants that perform the same tasks as Google Glass and more, to telekinetic tattoos and nanobots, we’ll be so hard-wired with tech that, as futurists such as Kurzweil predict, the line separating man and machine will blur. By then, will we even care about abstract liberties such as privacy and individuality?
It’s almost impossible to fathom now, but perhaps in the future we’ll look back and wonder why we cherished our individuality so much and resisted collectivism. After all, privacy as we now know it is a relatively modern phenomenon that we take for granted. Most of us wouldn’t be able to tolerate the constant physical togetherness and lack of solitude that defined a medieval European lifestyle. But since then we’ve readjusted our attitudes toward privacy and individuality, and chances are they will need to be readjusted again. Perhaps once most of us are wired to communicate telepathically and always be aware of each other’s locations and identities, we’ll find popular twentieth- and twenty-first-century depictions of cyborgs to be quaint, naïve and, yes, even a little offensive.
