Six major scientific breakthroughs of 2022 that could change the world .New discoveries and inventions are also coming out at the same speed as technology is being worked on in the world. The eyes of the world are today on the announcement of the Nobel Prizes in science and literature awarded each year.
On this occasion, below are the six major scientific breakthroughs of 2022 according to the list of American MIT University.
| Password termination |
|---|
For decades we have needed passwords to function online. New forms of authentication will finally help us get rid of them forever.Now we will be able to use a link sent via email, push notification or biometric scan.These methods are not only easier but also safer. You will not need to remember your face.
| Tracking of covid |
|---|
The coronavirus pandemic has led to unprecedented investment in genomic sequencing and dramatically increased the capacity for this type of surveillance worldwide. Improved surveillance has given scientists the ability to track the spread of the Covid-19 virus and to quickly identify and warn of new strains.
| Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Determining Protein Structure |
|---|
Almost everything your body does, it does with the help of protein, and the performance of protein depends on how its layers are folded in a certain way. Determining the 3D structure of a protein molecule can take months.
Now, an artificial intelligence called Alphafold2 has solved this long-standing biological puzzle and can figure out the structure of complex protein molecules, something that scientists have been unable to do. This may make it possible to rapidly design drugs for a wider range of diseases.
| Malaria vaccine |
|---|
Malaria kills more than 600,000 people every year worldwide, including in South Asia, most of them children under the age of five.
A new malaria vaccine approved by the World Health Organization could help save millions of lives each year.
It is also the world's first vaccine for parasitic infections.
| Carbon capture factory |
|---|
Reducing carbon emissions is an important step in mitigating climate change, but it is not enough, according to the United Nations.We also need to remove carbon dioxide from the air to avoid catastrophic warming in the future.The world's largest carbon removal factory has recently opened in Iceland.
