These Science Breakthroughs in 2017 Make Us Excited for Next Year
Posted by SAJAWAL REHMAN
In a world of fierce competition, everyone’s trying to get better and better. The scientists have embarked on a journey to make this world a better place through breakthrough scientific discoveries and this year has proved to be a good one.
Let’s have a look at some of the major tech developments of 2017.
1. Genes Editing
Some scientists from the United States have made it possible to edit human genes, which bodes well for humanity particularly when it comes to eliminating genetic diseases.
2. Relaunching a Recycled Rocket
Space travel is going to get cheaper, considering that SpaceX has sent a recycled rocket into space this year successfully.
3. Regenerative Medicine
Another one of those paramount discoveries, whereby human tissues, and even organs, can be grown in labs. The regenerative techniques can help repair nerve damage.
4. Major Strides in Google’s AI
The ability of AI to navigate complex environments can help develop self-governing robots which can prove to be the next big thing.

7. Uterus Imitation for Motherless Births
An artificial womb, imitating a uterus, can be used to give birth to offsprings without the mother while decreasing mortality and disease rates. Scientists have grown a lamb in such a womb in a lab.
