A hologram is a reconstructed image of an object with brightness, contrast and three-dimensions that can be displayed at another time and place, even though the original objects are not there. The concept is similar to a sound recording, where the sound waves of music, for example, are recorded and stored on a medium such as a tape or CD from which it can be reproduced at a later time.

This edition of Golden Age Technology, we’d like to introduce advances that can help people remain independent as they age, as well as to improve the care and the quality of life for older adults. Such innovations are being called “Elder Tech.”

Exploring the applications and benefits of the Keshe foundation’s discoveries concerning Carbon Dioxide Gas as Nano-State, known as CO2 GANS.

The Cassini mission involved sending an unmanned robotic spacecraft to study the planet Saturn and it complex system of rings and moons. It is considered one of the most successful planetary science mission of all time.

Most of us are familiar with the type of artificial intelligence(AI)devices used in manufacturing to perform simple repetitive tasks. But a whole new generation of AI machine is now being developed that can support individuals with physical impairments, and help people learn to live longer, more fulfilling lives.

Today we will explore some of newest and greenest eco-cars and high-tech vehicles that are making a splash in the automotive world.

The leading technology here is called the “organic flow battery”developed at Harvard University. Project leader Professor Michael Aziz, states, “We have a fighting chance of bringing down the capital cost to US$100 a kilowatt hour, and that will change the world.

Today we explore an exciting new technology, which has been developed for the detection and treatment of cancer. This technique is painless, quick, and highly accurate. It is a remarkable advancement in the use of sound.

Newly designed airports use renewable energy from sunlight, wind, or geothermal heat. Recycled materials are also integrated in the airport building structures. Energy-saving designs make these eco- airport excellent green buildings. Today we will amaze you with new, wonderful designs and developments of world-class eco-airports.

Many countries in the Middle East are making great strides in the switch from fossil fuels to implementing renewable energy. The robot ElliQ can build a bridge to bring families together in a natural way and remove the friction that comes with the growing generational gap. The robot Kytera Companion has come with a solution for making it safer for elderly to be home alone. New future megacity with the goal of becoming the most efficient destination in the world, is excepted to be populated by more robots than humans in the future.

High speed trains are a fast and reliable means of transportation, capable of moving a large volume of passengers. Normally, people perceive them as capable of reaching incredibly fast speeds. In this program, we’ll provide a brief history of high speed train transportation technology, including Magnetic-levitation trains. The world record of operating speed was broken many times in the history, the latest Shinkansen Maglev model in Japan can cover a one-mile distance in 10 seconds, an unbelievably quick speed.

What is Hyperloop? It is a method of high-speed transport that claims to be two to three times faster than the fastest high-speed train, and even faster than a passenger aircraft.Hyperloop moves passengers from place to place in pods traveling close to supersonic speeds inside a near-vacuum tube, the tube is either suspended from the ground or built underground, but the ride will be very smooth, meaning “No spilt drinks.”

3D printing has made progress and will hopefully supplant donated organs in transplant procedures. Organovo, a firm in USA already offers 3D-printed livers and kidneys for drug testing. Aspect, a biotechnology company in Canada is currently working on a method to 3D print a part of the human knee known as the meniscus. Some companies in USA and other countries are working to produce 3D-printed human skin, 3D-printed skin may be used for grafts in repairing burns and ulcers.

Integrated Tissue and Organ Printing System(ITOPS) is a large sophisticated 3-D printer, capable of printing with human cells to make lab-grown organs for surgical implantation into human bodies. Dr. Atala and his team have already implanted eight structures printed by ITOPS. Because of using a patient’s own tissues to create the new tissues and organ, and then putting back them into the body, there is no rejection by the patient’s tissues. Dr. Atala said: “that’s what this technology is all about.”

The central idea of biomimicry is that the strategies nature has adopted have evolved and succeeded over billions of years. These time-tested patterns and approaches have already solved many of the issues that we are addressing today. In 1997, the Shinkansen train nose was changed from the shape of a bullet to something which closely resembles a kingfisher’s beak, then a faster, cleaner and quieter Shinkansen electric train was born. By mimicking the shape of lotus leaves’ surface, one can create a paint for a building that has similar self-cleaning effect.

In this program, We will explore efficient wind turbines, inspired by the wings of the elegant Hummingbird, or the fins of the mighty yet streamlined humpback whale. Then on to water harvesting, using techniques influenced by spider webs, cacti and fungi. This water harvesting system mimics the way natural systems capture, store and distribute water, and won the research team the prestigious Ray of Hope Prize in the 2017 Biomimicry Global Design challenge along with the bonus.

The ocean holds a vast potential for harnessing inexpensive, clean, and sustainable energy. In this program, we interviewed Dr. Martin Visbeck, Professor of Physical Oceanography, GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research, one of the world’s leading marine science institutes. Professor Visbeck presented five approaches to generating energy from the ocean; namely, the use of ocean waves, ocean elevations, ocean currents and swells, variations in cold and warm ocean temperatures, and salinity gradients between freshwater and ocean water.

Colin Humphreys, a professor of materials science at Cambridge University said: “People have said you can’t predict earthquakes, people have tried. We’re now saying we believe for the first time we can predict an earthquake in a laboratory. The ability for AI to identify low rumblings which get increasingly stronger as a quake approaches could save countless lives”. The scientists involved believe that the earthquake prediction machine shows great potential.

In 2016 a social robot named Sophia was produced by Hanson Robotics and introduced to the public. Sophia’s appearance and behavior closely resemble those of a human being, and the robot can generate more than 60 facial expressions. Sophia was designed to interact with humans, through simple conversation and facial and voice recognition. Sophia is also able to mimic human gestures and facial expressions and can improve her social skills over time. In October 2016，Sophia was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, thus becoming the first robot citizen of any country in the world.

Holographic communication has appeared in numerous science fiction writings as a fascinating form of telecommunication. One iconic depiction of a hologram is Princess Leia’s message to Obi-Wan Kenobi recorded by the droid R2-D2 in Star Wars: A New Hope. Recently, Microsoft released a technology called “Holoportation” whereby two distant individuals can communicate with each other as if one is teleported to the other’s vicinity.
