- Public Blockchain: A public blockchain is one where anyone is free to join and participate in the core activities of the blockchain network. Anyone can read, write, and audit the ongoing activities on a public blockchain network, which helps achieve the self-governed, decentralized nature often touted when blockchain is discussed
- Multitopic Sequencing: Multiomic sequencing is a biological analysis approach that combines data sets from multiple “omes”. These “omes” include the genome, proteome, transcriptome, epigenome, metabolome, and microbiome.
- Artificial Intelligence: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or robot to perform tasks that are commonly associated with human intellectual processes
- Energy Storage: is the process of capturing energy at one time and using it later. It can help balance energy demand and production.
- Robotics: the study of machines that can be designed, constructed, operated, and used to perform tasks for humans. Robots are autonomous machines that can sense their environment, make decisions, and perform actions. They are often used to perform tasks that are too dangerous or repetitive for humans to safely perform.
