At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, dozens of new technologies based on the latest scientific achievements appeared in the world. Based on these technical innovations, engineers are developing domestic and industrial systems, the use of which can satisfy the growing needs of mankind. Modern and rather unusual technologies are already beginning to penetrate into all spheres of life.

The high hopes of engineers and technologists working in various manufacturing sectors are placed on nanotechnology. There are no universally accepted standards in this area of science and technology. Its main idea is the production of a wide variety of products with a predetermined molecular structure. We are talking about high-precision manufacturing of material objects through the manipulation of atoms and molecules.

No less amazing are 3D printing technologies. Based on the digital model, it is now possible to layer-by-layer print simple 3D objects on a three-dimensional printer. It is possible that over the next decade, compact 3D printers will appear in every home, taking their place next to personal computers. The use of volume printing in the production of various goods is very promising. It allows you to minimize costs and ensure high quality products.

Wireless computer technology, which a few years ago seemed a curiosity, is increasingly penetrating human life. This innovation allows you to create extensive networks that can connect multiple users wirelessly. The carrier of information in such networks is not electric cables, but microwave waves. The attribute of a wireless connection is a compact transmitter with a built-in omnidirectional antenna.

It is becoming a reality and the wireless transmission of electrical energy. In 2011, the first successful experiments were carried out in this direction, which soon will most likely be embodied in the form of technologies available to ordinary consumers. One of the promising uses of such energy systems is the recharging of mobile phones and tablets, which uses not wires, but the transmission of pulses in the microwave range. Scientists are working intensively to increase the distance over which it will be possible to transfer energy without wires.

There are other modern technologies in the energy sector. One of them is associated with the use of geothermal energy, which is contained in the bowels of the earth. To implement this technology, special geothermal stations are designed and built. The most promising construction of such structures in areas with increased volcanic activity. Scientists from Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua, and China are working on geothermal energy problems.

For several decades, robotics has been developing in the world. At the beginning of this century, it began to penetrate into medicine. Such technologies allow the creation of automated systems for surgical operations. At the same time, the doctor does not contact the patient, but manages the process from a distance through a special terminal. Such technological solutions guarantee minimal interference with the body and allow you to perform operations with unusually high accuracy.
