The current leading scientific breakthrough that is expected to come first is the development of a viable and effective COVID-19 vaccine. Many pharmaceutical companies and researchers are working tirelessly to develop a vaccine that can effectively combat the virus and help bring an end to the pandemic.
While there have been significant advancements in cancer research, we are still far from achieving a complete cure for cancer. However, scientists are continuously making progress and developing new treatments that can prolong and improve the lives of cancer patients.
The possibility of interplanetary travel has been a topic of interest for many years, and scientists are continuously working towards making it a reality. While there are still many challenges to overcome, such as developing advanced propulsion systems and ensuring the safety of astronauts, it is certainly a possibility in the future.
The development of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, has been ongoing for decades. However, there has been significant progress in recent years, and many countries have set ambitious goals to transition to 100% renewable energy. It is expected that we will continue to see breakthroughs in this field in the near future.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has already made significant advancements in various industries, such as healthcare, transportation, and finance. While it is certainly a groundbreaking technology, it is difficult to predict if it will be the next major scientific breakthrough. However, it is expected that AI will continue to play a crucial role in shaping our future.
