COMPUTING A THEORY OF EVERYTHING

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica, talks about his quest to make all knowledge computational - able to be searched, processed and manipulated. His new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, has no lesser goal than to model and explain the physics underlying the universe.

IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONICS

Tufts University biomedical engineer Fiorenzo Omenetto is developing implants made from silicon and sheets of silk, which dissolve away when no longer needed.

Implanted under the skin, an array of light-emitting diodes could signal the concentration in the blood of biomarkers such as insulin. Over time, the array will dissolve away, eliminating the need for surgery to remove the implant. Flexible silicon electronics (inset) are held in place with a silk film. Incorporating antibodies or enzymes into the film will allow devices to detect biomarkers. Credit: Bryan Christie Design

THE SIX EPOCHS FROM THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR

Ray Kurzweil is one of the world's leading inventors, thinkers, and futurists, with a twenty year track record of accurate predictions.

The Singularity is Near - The Book

The Onset of the 21st Century will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil presents a view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.
