What if drinking water could be drawn from desert air easily, without requiring enormous amounts of electricity from a grid? What if a doctor could do a biopsy for a suspected cancer without a blade of any sort? What if we didn’t have to wait too long to find out? Technologies that make these visions a reality are expected to become increasingly commonplace in the next few years. This special report, compiled and produced in a collaboration between Scientific American and the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network, highlights 10 such emerging technologies.

1. Deep Learning for Visual Tasks
2. Liquid Fuels from Sunshine
3. The Human Cell Atlas
4. Precision Farming
5. Affordable Catalysts for Green Vehicles
6. Genomic Vaccines
7. Sustainable Design of Communities 
8. Quantum Computing
9. Noninvasive Biopsies for Identifying Cancer
10. Harvesting Clean Water from Air
