STEM and the Future

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science that deals with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. While the concept of artificial intelligence dates back to ancient times, the term "artificial intelligence" was first used in 1956. Examine AI and the most important technological developments in this field in Artificial Intelligence, one of the titles in the STEM and the Future series.

Genes are the parts of a cell that control the characteristics of a living thing. Genetic engineering works directly with genes, adding, removing, and modifying them to make the types of plants and animals we want. This raises some difficult but critical questions. Examine genetic engineering and the most important technological developments in this field in Genetic Engineering, one of the titles in the STEM and the Future series.

The Italian physicist Alessandro Volta created the first electrical circuit in 1800. Without this invention, none of the computer and internet technology that we have today would have been possible. Examine computing and the most important technological developments in this field in Computing and the Internet, one of the titles in the STEM and the Future series.

Medicine dates back thousands of years. Ever since its beginning, scientists in the medical field have been pursuing new ways to treat illnesses, care for patients, and help people to have long and healthy lives. Examine medicine and the most important technological developments in this field in Medical Discoveries, one of the titles in the STEM and the Future series.
