Due to fast paced development as well as to take care of needs of people and society, new frontiers of research are emerging day by day in every field.
In your opinion, what are likely to be new frontiers of research and development in next decade?
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, it is obvious that the next evolution of research and development will be focused on making humans relevance in a robotic world.
Thanks a lot Dr LucIano for suggesting new frontiers of research and development in the area of material science ,regenerative medicines and humanoid Robotics.
Nanotechnology, it is surprisingly penetrating every research field, starting from materials, arriving at medicine....it is the new revolution in research. "Nano Nature" journal presents astonishing researches and results.
The requirements of modern science to meet the needs of society, in health treatment for each case through the development of drug delivery and expansion using genetic silence and nanoscience
Yes true Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak sir. Trend is now shifting from synthetic medicines to herbal medicines due to the proven significant biological properties and no side effects.
In upcoming years nanotechnology, sustainability, biodegradability, automation in industry: robotics, digitalization, data analytics, block chain, IoT, ayurveda, organic products production, semiprocessed food products, e- commerce, zero waste etc are going to be frontiers of research.
In next decade, science and technology will develop very fast, specially automatization, genetic research, bio-technology, new materials production and aero-space industries. Unfortunately, most of new inventions will be in military sector.
The research includes three types of limits, namely objective, temporal, and spatial limits. These limits are linked to the idea and purpose of the research. The different disciplines of human and applied sciences are subject to change with the rapid change in research techniques, making it difficult to set firm limits.
We can not say the frontiers will be in one dicipline. I think there will be great developement in every aspect of research such as materials, nano technology, medicine, space, agriculture, robotics, etc.
In the horizon of anthropological sciences, I think that the most important and relevant epistemological issue for the future, is build a bridge who permit the relation whit the sciences of public policies and particularly the anthropology of engagement whit the sciences of decisions.
There is likely to be faster pace of research in medical technology, unidentified medical diseases and their treatment, space technology, computer , electronics, reliable manufacturing systems. Food and Agriculture is likely to be new thrust area. There is likely to be lot more interdisciplinary research to solve future problems.
According to my knowledge, topics such as solid waste management, production of solar hydrogen and wastewater purification through economical methods should be considered for the secured future.
Again depending in which field it is related to, but I can tell you for sure “Blockchain and Digitization” is going to touch every industry by 2025 and beyond. I am publishing another (2nd in series) article on Blockchain which will talk about it. Please Feel free to follow.
For my country (México) is urgent that people understand the members of government are the force for resolve the public problems and the citizens needs a collaborative perspective for take decision for policies that are urgent like not put in hands of the political class the central decisions for be a country in the first development of the world.
Whit this vision is urgent that the social scientist became an applied disciplines, like the anthropology of engagement at USA; but the national force of investigators don´t be the first force on the streets and directly at agencies whit theirs investigations, just do a letters who the poverty population never reds… the SNI force need to be this just if their problems and their investigation have a real application directly for put away the main causality that produce the basics social problems.

I think the future research directions will be focused on trying to reduce the global climate change problem and its negative impact on agriculture particularly in Africa.
@dear Ashok Pundir my field is (transcultural) psychology. Your question is important. The question is: "In your opinion, what are likely to be new frontiers of research and development in next decade?" I expect two frontier developments: 1) eliminating the distinction between soma and psychic, with a great impact on our healthcare and 2) collectivism and neurology with a great impact on how humans live together. All the best, Carl
I agree with Amir W. Al-Khafaji's answer. Autonomous vehicles are going to be a major research area. I also think that blockchain and cryptoassets will be a major area of study. Specifically, I think that blockchain will be at the crossroads of monetary theory, technology, politics, and law.
We need to disappear the traditional concept of university and transform them for one organization that concentrate the process of social planning directly whit social alliance and whit all the actor: why because the universities today are like the parties and government a group of elite, a group of interest and pressure who just fight for the pleasure of being and academic without direct social compromise, they are worried for be the privilege class and today exist like a group of power that don´t help the society whit their power in the hands; every day them stay in the in academic organizational atmosphere.
Research should focus on solving the real life problem. Today 90% of patients and research goes unused . In addition, we should nurture and practice open innovation concepts and ideas.
Dear RG friends, what a wonderful question. But I said that before. Scientists will have to look into the future. I see two currents. First of all, scientific results will have to be made accessible to the general public. That is already being done, but it should be done better, especially as scientists contradict each other in the media. There are now so many new means of information, such as VR glasses. Scientists should also come up with new models in order to make money. Now most of the money comes into the pockets of a few large companies and individuals, and the majority of the population on our planet has to live on the crumbs left over. Economists expect a K-model, one group is doing better and another group is doing worse. This has consequences for everything, houses, neighbourhoods, food, exercise, health, education and work, etc. This idea should be put on paper with a very large group of scientists from all over the world, with new research initiatives, and a global budget with the obligation that the team submitting an application comes from all major continents. All the best, stau safe and healthy and start enjoying 2021 (the first year of the vaccines), Carl
Dear RG friends, in addition to what I said earlier, I expect a lot from the combination of social sciences and brain sciences in the coming decades. Social psychology is already doing that in abundance with wonderful results. Antonio Damasio would say that it is about the films that the Homunculus plays in our brain on the veils of SELF. All the best, stay safe and healthy Carl (let us also pray for all the victims of the Russian and Ukraine war)
