12个将改变商业的科技趋势

高级材料学

在分子层面操纵现有材料的能力，已经带来了太阳镜、自行车架和医疗设备等产品的进步。未来，科学家将可以更好地控制各种物质的纳米材料，对纳米技术将有更深入的理解。出于对健康问题的担忧，唐恩都乐公司决定将纳米材料从其食物中剔除。但部分先进的纳米材料，很有希望改善健康状况甚至治疗癌症。不久的将来，材料将具有自愈、自洁能力，并且将拥有记忆，无论被如何弯曲，它们都能够恢复到最初的形状。

Advanced materials

The ability to manipulate existing materials on a molecular level has already enabled advances in products like sunglasses, bike frames, and medical equipment. Scientists have greater control than ever over nanomaterials in a variety of substances, and their understanding is growing. Health concerns recently prompted Dunkin' Donuts to remove nanomaterials from their food. But certain advanced nanomaterials show promise for improving health, and even treating cancer. Coming soon: materials that are self-healing, self-cleaning, and that remember their original shape even if they’re bent.
