A century ago, discoveries in physics came together with
engineering to produce an array of astonishing new technologies:
radios, telephones, televisions, aircraft, radar, nuclear power,
computers, the Internet and a host of still- evolving digital
tools. These technologies so radically reshaped our world that we
can no longer conceive of life without them. Today we are on the
cusp of a new convergence, with discoveries in biology coming
together with engineering to produce another array of almost
inconceivable technologies. These next-generation products have the
potential to be every bit as revolutionary as the twentieth
century's digital wonders: Virusbuilt batteries. Protein-based
water filters. Cancer- detecting nanoparticles. Mind- reading
bionic limbs. Computer-engineered crops. These few examples
illustrate the promise of the technology story of the twenty-first
century to overcome some of the greatest humanitarian, medical and
environmental challenges of our time.
