AI.Solar engineering. Facial recognition. The uncanny valley. Nuclear fusion. Gene editing. Biodiversity. 3-D printing. These and other “hot” topics in science and technology make front-page news almost daily. The information-packed readings in Everyday Science and Technology—presented at times in technical but always accessible language—examine twenty of these need-to-know topics and offer readers a stimulating look at the great discoveries, key breakthroughs, and game-changing innovations emerging from every field, revolutionary advances that are affecting all our lives and society at large—“for better or worse,” some might say. The subtitle, “News You Can Use,” reflects the author’s hope that the book’s facts, figures, and insights will provide students with a go-to manual for navigating through and thriving in our always exciting, but often perplexing and challenging historical moment.
