“The result is a list of 200 groundbreaking inventions and 50 special mention inventions which includes life-mapping artificial intelligence, diamonds made from excess carbon in the air, and the most powerful telescope ever—that are changing how we live, work, play, and think about what’s possible” as stated by TIME’s editor.
