This book is edited by Professor B?rngen, Chairman of the Fraunhofer Society in Germany, and translated with great effort by the Chinese Physicists Association in Germany. It comprehensively describes over 100 cutting-edge technologies in important fields such as information and communication, transportation and logistics, new materials, virtual enterprises and production and services, renewable energy and environmental protection, and life sciences and health. Not only does it evaluate each technology based on its innovation level, market prospects, and social significance, but it also predicts the year when the prototype of each technology will mature and enter mass production. The book strives to describe the latest discoveries and trend predictions in science and technology with concise and fluent text and vivid images, enabling more people to understand, care about, and explore the future, discover new business opportunities, and firmly grasp the future!
Since 1971, countries and organizations such as the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, South Korea, Germany, Austria, and the European Community have periodically published similar "future prediction" books, with international alliances, nations, companies, manufacturers, and even individual groups increasingly investing limited resources and manpower into more meaningful, effective, and promising "future" research and production directions with the help of these predictions. There is no doubt that the development of science and technology will greatly change our future lives, learning, and work!
This book is edited by Professor B?rngen, Chairman of the Fraunhofer Society, and comprehensively describes the innovative prototypes, market dynamics, and scientific foresight of over 100 cutting-edge technologies in important fields such as information and communication, transportation and logistics, new materials, virtual enterprises and production and services, renewable energy and environmental protection, and life sciences and health. These technologies have been carefully selected by experts from the Fraunhofer Society and world-renowned companies such as Daimler-Chrysler AG, Siemens AG, and, as well as universities, research groups, and other relevant institutions. Additionally, each technology is evaluated based on its innovation level, market prospects, and social significance, and the year when the prototype will mature and enter mass production is predicted. The book strives to describe the latest discoveries and trend predictions in science and technology with concise and fluent text and vivid images, enabling more people to understand, care about, and explore the future, discover new business opportunities, and thus more firmly grasp the future!
The book is printed in full color, richly illustrated, and vividly showcases 100 exciting changes that modern science and technology are about to bring to human life!
