Insight into the opportunities and challenges of the intelligent manufacturing industry
Grasp the changes in modern science and technology and the evolution trends of human civilization
Can brain-computer interfaces allow pilots to control aircraft using their brains alone, and equip soldiers with mechanical skeletons that are 5 to 10 times stronger and faster than human limbs?
As long as you carry a 3D printer and special materials, can you "replicate" a life support system adapted to unique environments on the moon or Mars?
Using graphene as a skeleton and adding biomolecules, can organoids be formed, or even give birth to modified humans in the cyberworld?
Smart clothing can not only control temperature and change colors according to instructions, but can also embed sensors to feed back body physiological diagnostic information at any time?
Imagine that in the near future, all the items in our lives will be multi-functional, and the future world in science fiction movies such as "Star Trek", "Blade Runner" and "Ready Player One" will even become a reality, and all this is thanks to a new material with special properties, deformability and programmability - graphene.
As a well-deserved "star new material" in today's scientific and industrial circles, graphene is a two-dimensional carbon material with a thickness of only one atom. It has unparalleled properties and huge application value. It will bring disruptive technological changes in the fields of modern information industry, aerospace, national defense, biomedicine, energy and environment, covering almost all fields of human activities.
In "A General History of Future Black Technology", a work that spans science, economy, and history, NASA physicist Les Johnson and nanotechnology scientist Joseph Meaney will take you over the entire history of the development of new materials science. You can grasp the exciting wave of innovation in recent decades, have a forward-looking understanding of the miracles graphene is creating in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, interstellar exploration, genetic engineering, and brain-computer interfaces, and gain a profound insight into the new era that modern civilization is about to face.
