The issue focused on technology innovation and climate change. The scientific research literature generally supports the theory that technological innovation — innovation in technologies like robotics, additive manufacturing, biotech, nanotechnology, etc. — has played a role in reducing pollution and improving lives around the world. Technology innovation also leads to innovation in science and medicine. Scientists have discovered medical therapies for diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Science is helping scientists learn new technologies and engineering processes that could improve medicine and science. Science research also involves experiments that study biological processes
