How will technology change your life in the near future? Artificial intelligence will greatly hasten the design of innovative drugs and materials. Advanced diagnostic tools will enable increasingly personalized medicine. Augmented reality will be everywhere, overlaying information and animation on real-world images to help you with everyday tasks—and to help industry to operate more efficiently. If you get sick, doctors will be able to implant living cells in your body that will act like drug factories, treating what ails you. And you will be eating eat beef, chicken and fish grown from stem cells, greatly reducing the environmental impact of animal farming and sparing countless creatures from inhumane treatment.

These world-changing ideas, along with others that make up this year’s list of “Top 10 Emerging Technologies,” were selected by leading experts in fields such as biology, inorganic chemistry, robotics and artificial intelligence. The list is the result of an intensive selection process.
