Scenario prompts 17 June 2024
Today’s prompts are reinventing glass, quantum biology, concrete batteries, ending hunger, quantum batteries, Apple Intelligence, nano-machines, longstorming, energy harvesting and storing DNA.
Consider longstorming as a thinking technique.
Researchers are reinventing glass for a warmer world
Scientists have devised a window coating that looks like frosted glass but is brighter, provides cooling to reduce reliance on air-conditioning, and does not require cleaning
Our brain matter is stuck at a phase transition, says new study
Scientists have identified components of neurons that match up to materials undergoing a phase shift – a transition from one state of matter, like a liquid, to another, like a gas.
New concrete that stores electricity could turn whole homes into batteries
Researchers at MIT have come up with a new way to store energy inside a modified concrete, a tantalizing potential solution to the looming energy storage problem.
Boosted Breeding and beyond: 3 tech trends that could end world hunger
A world without hunger is possible, though, and the development and deployment of new farming technologies could be one key to manifesting it.

What Is a Quantum Battery? And When Will It Power My Laptop?
This would be equivalent to a conventional battery, which takes minutes to charge, being able to hold that charge for hundreds of years.
Second Mouse.AI
“Apple Intelligence” is more than a great brand move; it encapsulates the company’s strategy. Take something invented elsewhere; make it more consumer friendly, easier to use, and more reliable; mix in world-class industrial design; and print billions.
Rise of the Nanomachines
Nanotechnology can already puncture cancer cells and drug-resistant bacteria. What will it do next?
Do you find the 21st century overstimulating? Try ‘longstorming’
Energy harvesting tech transforms IoT and consumer electronics with sustainable power
Energy harvesting technologies are set to transform IoT and consumer electronics by providing sustainable, efficient, and innovative power solutions, according to a new report from one global analytics company.
Scientists Preserve DNA In An Amber-Like Polymer
Inspired partly by “Jurrasic Park”, MIT researchers have developed a glassy, amber-like polymer that can be used for long-term storage of DNA, whether entire human genomes or digital files such as photos.
