Computer vision enabled selective weeding of farms is an emerging technology that represents a real opportunity to reduce pesticide usage. Similarly the use of aerial or terrestrial drones to carry out farming tasks or surveillance is becoming more viable as prices drop. In medicine mRNA vaccines are quite new and doing cool work. Alternative chemistry batteries like lithium sulfur appear promising and are getting closer to commercial viability. Sodium based battery chemistry has a lot of research interest and looks promising where cost is a bigger factor than energy density. Phytoremediation is as ever tantilising and increasingly seeing real-world pilot programs.
