In this blog post, we’ll explore how physical changes and ethical constraints interact during the evolution of Homo sapiens to determine the future of humans. All living things evolve to fit into their environment and survive. Throughout evolution, organisms have sought to gain an advantage in the competition for survival by increasing their adaptability. Gaining an advantage in...
In this blog post, we explore a future where advances in cyborg engineering could change human identity and herald the birth of a new species. About 70,000 years ago, the Homo sapiens species began to make rapid advances, creating cultures and pioneering history. The development of cognitive abilities played a large role in the beginning of this progress, which allowed humans to form a...
Metallic materials have played an important role throughout history and are a key area of research with a wide range of applications in modern engineering. In the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, we categorize materials into three areas: metals, polymers, and ceramics. Metals are represented by materials such as gold, silver, and iron; polymers are plastic materials that...
Transportation technology has played an important role in the development of human civilization and warfare. This article explores its evolution and historical significance. Unlike other animals, especially predators, we humans do not have strong muscular strength, which is closely related to our survival, and as a result, we have a small radius of activity. For example, polar bears have a...
Laws and rules are necessary for the stability of society and for the benefit of individuals. By upholding them, we reduce conflict and make life better for everyone. The world has become complex. In ancient times, people lived simply to survive, but over time, humans wanted more and more and tried to achieve it. In the beginning, simple tools and knowledge were enough to get by, but as...
In this blog post, we explore how AlphaGo and advances in deep learning technology are revolutionizing artificial intelligence and impacting healthcare, education, and society as a whole. In March 2016, the Go match between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol shocked the world. AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence powered by deep learning technology, defeated the 9th ranked Go player Lee Sedol. Since...
In this blog post, we look at the theoretical validity and verifiability of multiverse theory and explore the limits to its acceptance as science. In the winter of 2014, the movie Interstellar hit the box office with 10 million viewers. The movie was a stroke of genius for bringing the concepts of relativity and multiverse theory of modern physics to the screen in a realistic way. These...
Touchscreen technology is a key innovation of the smartphone era, transforming our daily lives and providing convenience and efficiency. When you get on the subway on your way home and look around, there’s a common sight you see all the time. Almost everyone has a smartphone in their hand, watching a movie, browsing the internet, or chatting. A few years ago, this was a rare sight...
This blog post is a philosophical exploration of the question: if advances in science and technology make eternal life possible, will it bring true happiness? Humanity has made remarkable scientific advances throughout history. The use of tools and fire led to civilization, and the development of agriculture led to settled life. The development of agriculture allowed humans to move from a...
In this blog post, we explore the possibilities of dye-sensitized solar cell technology to generate environmentally friendly energy while relaxing on a warm spring day. It’s that time of year again, and the last thing you want to do is sit at work and listen to your boss nagging you. We’d all love to be out in the sunshine, wearing colorful clothes, and enjoying a spring outing...
