Over the past half century, with hundreds of TV episodes, more sub-editions, and more than a dozen movie theaters, Star Trek has given us a glimpse into the future, including a lot of great technology. potential re-shaping life.
Although quite a few of the technologies in Star Trek are still science fiction, a number of significant technological developments have come true, at least in certain angles.
Beam pull
The tractor beams in Star Trek are a linear gravity beam used by space stations or spacecraft to control the movement of external objects - such as pulling damaged space ships. safe.
Researchers from the University of Bristol (UK) have successfully developed and demonstrated a resonant sound-tracing beam capable of holding small objects in the air. In the near future, they hope the beam will be able to move objects like stones or kidney stones in the human body.
It may not be as glorious as keeping a giant Klingon, but it's a good start.
Comprehensive Translator
For this technology, we've gone through the movies!
Star Trek claims that a full-fledged machine - a device capable of instantaneous translation between different languages - must appear at the end of the 22nd century.
But right now, in the 21st century, we have devices like Baidu's pocket-sized translator that can translate English and Chinese phrases and vice versa easily.
Google has also developed interpreter headers that translate between different languages, and even applications that can translate baby cries into English.
Currently, the big difference between the technology in Star Trek and ours is the time it takes to train those devices to understand new languages.
Phaser gun
Shot in the form of pulse energy in phase, Phaser guns appear in a variety of sizes, from small to personal, to the giant weapons used to attach the aircraft. Their use is quite diverse, from the cutting of materials, heating of objects, triggering explosives, or simply stunned a certain difficulty.
In the real world, we are still stuck in the early phases of laser guns. However, laser guns have become increasingly popular - including Lockheed Martin's hand-held laser cannons and laser modules called ATHENA, used to fire drone in the sky.
The computers we can talk to are
The crew in Star Trek can interact with the computer by talking to them.
By 2018, this has become quite commonplace. Almost every smartphone has built-in AI assistant like Siri, Google Assistant, or Cortana. Not to mention one of the fastest growing product categories today are the smart speakers like Amazon Echo.
Hypospray
If you absolutely hate needles, then perhaps the hypervisor is the product for you. In Star Trek, this is a non-injectable drug delivery system that can deliver fluid to the body at high speed without piercing the skin.
Today, an MIT subsidiary called Portal is developing a new, non-needle-jet jet engine capable of firing a super-fine fluid beam - thinner than a hair-piercing one. Skin with Mach 0.7 speed.
For those who do not know, it's the speed of a commercial commercial aircraft. Although this system still needs to ... pierce through the skin, but at least it does not use any needles.
Tablet
Like a voice recognition computer, this is something that is so popular in today's world that if you watch Star Trek:
The Next Generation, you probably will not feel the future of Personal Data Access Devices (PADDs) used by the crew in the movie. But believe us, at the time of the film's release, such devices have shown how much humanity's desire for future technology is!

Unless you like cooking, the idea of a Star Trek copier with the ability to create food and drink is a dream come true. Thanks to the achievements of modern science today, this machine will appear in a day.
3D food printers are beginning to be developed, while the National University of Singapore has developed a programmable cocktail: it will fool your senses, making you think you are Drink anything you imagine!
Warp Drive
Aside from teleporting, warp is one of the iconic technologies in Star Trek. It is also the longest you have to wait on this list to be able to see in real life - of course to achieve warp speed is not impossible.
In recent years, the science has been extremely excited with NASA's EmDrive technology, which, if continued to grow, will allow human beings to move interplanetary at super-fast speeds.
It's not like "warp drive", but once it's in real life, EmDrive will change our understanding of physics. As mentioned above, this is a real technology, no longer an illusion.
