We are experiencing unprecedented innovation in physical materials, everything from self-healing surfaces to programmable matter.

When a strawberry's taste profile can be programmed and replicated in Dubai to be identical to one grown in Japan, it transitions from a unique agricultural good to a high-tech, replicable commodity.

Mass customization is not the result of a single breakthrough but rather the convergence of a suite of advanced technologies.

We may live longer and healthier, but our minds might not be.

We are combining what we might call 'next-generation genomic sequencing', AI, and CRISPR gene editing, to come up with a new health paradigm that involves 'fixing people before they are sick rather than after.'

Nobody wants to get old. Everybody will. The age-old dilemma, if you pardon the pun. But science and technology might change that.
