BM Research continues this work through the pursuit of new scientific instruments – whether physical devices or advanced software tools – designed to make what’s invisible in our world visible, from the macroscopic level down to the nanoscale. This is a summary 5-in5-5 deck

In five years, what we say and
write will be used as indicators of
our mental health and physical
wellbeing. Patterns in our speech
and writing analyzed by new
cognitive systems will provide
tell-tale signs of early-stage
developmental disorders, mental
illness and degenerative
neurological diseases that can
help doctors and patients better
predict, monitor and track these
conditions

In five years, new imaging
devices using hyperimaging
technology and AI will help us
see broadly beyond the domain
of visible light by combining
multiple bands of the
electromagnetic spectrum to
reveal valuable insights or
potential dangers that would
otherwise be unknown or hidden
from view. Most importantly,
these devices will be portable,
affordable and accessible, so
superhero vision can be part of
our everyday experiences.

In five years, we will use machine-
learning algorithms and software to
help us organize the information
about the physical world to help
bring the vast and complex data
gathered by billions of devices
within the range of our vision and
understanding. We call this a
"macroscope" – but unlike the
microscope to see the very small, or
the telescope that can see far away,
it is a system of software and
algorithms to bring all of Earth's
complex data together to analyze it
by space and time for meaning.

In 5 years, new medical labs on
a chip will serve as
nanotechnology health
detectives – tracing invisible
clues in our bodily fluids and
letting us know immediately if
we have reason to see a doctor.
The goal is to shrink down to a
single silicon chip all of the
processes necessary to analyze
a disease that would normally
be carried out in a full-scale
biochemistry lab.

near natural gas extraction
wells, around storage
facilities, and along
distribution pipelines will
enable the industry to
pinpoint invisible leaks in
real-time.
