Road to the next Industrial Revolution

Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Technology, , language: English, abstract: The world is a huge laboratory where many fascinating ingredients are hidden in everyday materials. We can find them all around us; can explore them through disintegration of everything that surrounds us. Whether it is a liquid or solid, or gas, or whether it is a plasma, or something inexplicable. Every material that we see and hold is a composite result of other materials which are in turn composites of other ones. So apparently, everything is an assemblage of different sets of materials. When we go deeper and deeper to find out the last pure material, it would be atoms which are again formed by subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons. These subatomic particles are also made up of elementary particles such as quarks and leptons. Here we stop dissecting the matter and quarks and leptons being regarded as the building block. All these matter possess some special properties attributed to their incredible composition. Such matters of such properties, one way or the other affects the human life, therefore it is essential for man to learn and comprehend the essence behind all this. That's why material science is recognised as a cross road of all the various disciplines of science which is responsible for man's overall health on the Earth. Since the first time when man succeed to understand the nature of elements and sort them out in a distinct manner such as in periodic table, he became more and more curious to know about their potentials whether in the form of absolute purity or in the form of a composite. When single elements have found to be inadequate to satisfy outgrowing needs, scientists have begun to blend two or more of these together and went further to test that in different conditions to make every possibility come true. Hitherto, scientists learned many marvellous properties of matter, created a great hierarchy of the technology and developed a clearer picture of the future world. Currently we are in the middle of road to the future of our hope; many ideas that are floating around for a better version of the world are yet to be solidified. Needless to say, scientists are working towards it. Present essay is aimed to discuss about the current progress in research regarding a few breakthrough advancements in technology and scientific discoveries posed to change the world.
