Top 5 most populous megacities worldwide
The United Nations has released fresh data on the most populous cities in the world. Let's take a look at the top megacities by population.
Revived Dinosaurs
Experts believe that a real Jurassic Park or even more than one may appear in the near future. Notably, visitors will see not the high-tech prototypes of dinosaurs but the living duplicates of this extinct species. To achieve this, scientists are conducting experiments to recreate the dead animals. However, many experts doubt the success of this project. Therefore, they will hardly make a reality of their bold fantasies.
Day Length Increase
According to scientists, the duration of each day increases by almost 2 milliseconds in 100 years. A billion years ago, the duration of the day was only 18 hours, while 300 million years ago, it amounted to 22 hours. Scientists see the influence of the moon as a reason for this phenomenon: our planet slows down its rotation due to the gravitation of its satellite. As the number of hours per day grows, the number of days reduces. For example, 300 million years ago, there were 400 days a year while today there are 365.
Panoramic Airplane Windows
The idea for this innovation belongs to Spike Aerospace. Specialists of the company are trying to create a window model without usual glass and rubber seals. Nevertheless, many experts suggest that their attempts are doomed to failure. Most likely, such panoramic windows will be virtual, experts surmise.
Brain Prosthesis
This technology is aimed at correcting the work of the human brain. It was first mentioned in 2005. However, it is still underway and the results are unknown yet. Experts remind that the brain prosthesis is not a replacement for the human brain. It is a technique that continuously corrects brain readings to people with injuries, collects memories, and improves mental performance.
Medical Scanning Mirror
Interestingly, such technology already exists but its functions are limited to the selection of clothing and making a healthy meal plan. Specialists of the British company Futurizon are confident that in the future all bathrooms will be equipped with high-tech mirrors. The scanning mirror is expected to take on a number of medical functions. For example, every morning, it will scan the body of its owner. As being connected to the global medical network, the scanning mirror will transmit accurate data about the body enabling doctors to make a diagnose quicker and then prescribe medical treatment.
Emergence of Antibiotic Resistance
According to leading medical experts, in the future, humanity may develop resistance (addiction) to antibiotics. As a result, viruses and bacteria will be difficult to be killed. Experts say that the era of antimicrobial resistance will come in the 2050s. Maybe, more advanced pharmaceutical products will replace antibiotics.
Spy Dust
In 2018, professor at University of California Chris Peter announced the development of smart dust technology. Smart dust is a billion of tiny sensors, invisible to the eye. The dust will be able to record and transmit any physical and chemical indicators of the environment. Experts believe that the new generation of smart dust devices will enable to collect data online. This technology is likely to boost the efficiency of some industries: engineering, healthcare, environmental safety, and military industry.

Deepfake is a technology based on artificial intelligence to create ultra-realistic fake videos, audio, and images featuring real people. In recent years, it has gained incredible popularity, evoking both admiration and concern. Celebrities, whose faces are often used for such purposes, have felt its impact most acutely. In this article, we will discuss five of the most "deepfaked" individuals who have become the main victims of this emerging technology.
The biggest news of recent days has been Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. This event has caused a stir around the world, reminding us of the significant role a US president plays in both national development and international affairs. Throughout US history, several presidents have dramatically reshaped the country's domestic landscape and strengthened its influence abroad. Let's take a look at some of the most influential
