Connectivity, intelligence, security and sustainability are among the future values that have been foresighted. Pertinently, sustainable innovation is essential in improving the quality of our future life, in tandem with minimising the use of natural resources, waste and pollution.
In this context, economic and population growth also contribute to the burdens of environmental resources. At the present rate of consumption, the increasing depletion of natural resources is leading to many postulated crisis. Thus, artificial and synthetic approaches may be undertaken to ensure the survival and sustainable of various important resources. The concept of artificial and synthetic subjects are well-developed in the area of computer science through AI and electrical engineering via robotics.
In contrast, artificial and synthetic outlook in a more fundamental aspect of science, akin to an integrated synergy of chemistry-physics-mathematics-biology fields are not well-highlighted. Several notable examples are artificial cell, artificial blood and artificial photosynthesis.
To conclude, sustainable science via artificial and synthetic approaches should be able to provide a new pathway in dealing with various long-term global issues. Owing to the promising attributes, these presented solutions can accelerate the initiatives to build a sustainable future.
