I’d put CRISPR-based genome editing high on the list, especially with the recent prime and base editing advances. It’s wild how fast the tech moved from concept to real-world gene therapy trials. Curious what people think about AI-driven protein folding breakthroughs too.
1. Transformers
I think they need to be looked into more. They just work too well.
I feel like they have a secret within that is yet to be known.

2. The 2016 Noble Prize in Medicine
Autophagy has such interesting properties. It can probably do alot more for us now than any new pill or gene editing tool

3. zk-STARKS
I can prove to you than X * Y = Z, without ever revealing what, X, Y or Z are. And I can do this for any function, or math operator.

4. TLock
I can encrypt my will, in a way such that. It can only be read after X years.
And I do not need a trusted third party to do it.
