New Delhi: There is no doubt that scientific advances can change the world, and every year, the World Economic Forum comes up with a list of emerging technologies to watch out for.
The 2026 report, released on 24 June, includes cooler roofs, smarter grids, and quantum-proof security.Here is a list of 10 emerging technologies which have moved out of the laboratory and are likely to take the world by storm.
1. Everything-to-grid energy
Today’s electrical grid is built so that power plants generate energy, and households, cars, and other appliances consume it. However, the relationship between the grid and electricity consumers is changing due to the emergence of electric vehicles, solar panels, and home batteries.Everything-to-grid technology allows devices to store electricity and even send it back to the grid when there is a high demand. This could mean that acres of parks could someday act as a giant backup battery for electric cars in case of an emergency.
