Nine scientific breakthroughs I'd like to see in 2026 – from earworms to procrastination | Emma Beddington

The more I think about it, the more excited I get 🀩. I mean, who wouldn't want to uncover the secrets of the ultimate cuddle bug? Can you imagine a team of scientists trekking through the jungle in search of a snuggly new mammal? Or developing wearables that give us a gentle nudge (or electric shock) when we're about to hit the snooze button? It's like something straight out of a sci-fi movie!

And then there's the idea of harnessing human movement and emotions to generate electricity. I mean, who needs renewable energy when you can just tap into middle-aged female rage or scrolling-induced stress? It's genius (or crazy, depending on how you look at it). I'm also curious about treadmill physics - is that really a thing where digital displays run out of time? Mind. Blown.

On a more serious note, I think the focus on science and discovery is exactly what we need right now. Amidst all the chaos and uncertainty, it's refreshing to see scientists working towards solving real-world problems (and some pretty weird ones). So here's to 2026 - let's hope we get some amazing breakthroughs that make our lives better and more interesting! 🌟
 
πŸ€” I'm all for harnessing the power of scrolling to generate electricity πŸš€πŸ’‘. Can you imagine if we could convert our daily scrolls into clean energy? It's like something out of a sci-fi movie πŸ“Ί. But, let's get back to the science behind it... wouldn't we need some serious breakthroughs in tech before that happens? πŸ’»πŸ”Œ

And what about exercise in unexpected places? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Like, is anyone seriously considering using a couch as a form of exercise equipment? πŸ˜‚ It's cute, but I'm not sure how effective it'd be. And treadmill physics... isn't that just the manufacturer's way of telling us our treadmill batteries are running out of time? πŸ˜…

But what really got me thinking was pet translation πŸΎπŸ’¬. Can you imagine being able to understand your furry friend's secret language? It's like a whole new world of animal communication would open up! We should definitely keep an eye on that one πŸ‘€.

And lastly, Angry Geese Uncovered πŸ”₯πŸ₯ sounds like the perfect topic for a scientific expedition 🌟. Who wouldn't want to study the motivations behind those feisty fowl?
 
I'm low-key excited about the prospect of getting more answers on why my earworms never seem to leave me πŸ˜‚πŸŽ΅. Like, isn't it weird how sometimes I'll be humming along to this one song from years ago and suddenly I just can't stop thinking about it? 🀯 It's not like I'm asking for a cure or anything, but some kinda earworm removal serum would be amazing πŸ’Š.
 
idk about all this hype around "new color" lol who cares about some made up hue πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ i mean dont get me wrong scientific progress is cool but let's focus on actual problems like climate change and inequality in 2026 πŸŒŽπŸ’š
 
oh man i'm so down for those sci breakthroughs! 🀯 like who wouldn't wanna know more about sitting & earworms 😴🎡 i'm all about finding ways to make life easier & less frustrating. exercise in unexpected places sounds like a total game changer too πŸ‘ŸπŸ’¨ i just wish we could harness some of that middle-aged female rage into clean energy lol 🌞πŸ’ͺ
 
The world needs all the optimism we can get, but honestly, who wouldn't want earworm removal tech? 🀣 Like, imagine having a device that literally makes you forget that annoying song stuck in your head πŸŽ΅πŸ’‘. And can we please, for the love of all things good, have wearable procrastination deterrents? I mean, electric shocks or gentle nudges? Either way, it's about time someone made me get off my butt to do actual work πŸ˜΄πŸ’». As for treadmill physics, does anyone really need help understanding why digital displays run out of time? πŸ€” Like, who hasn't seen that happen like, a million times already? And the ultimate cuddle bug? Come on, scientists, we've been over this – cute animals are just animals with fur and teeth πŸ˜‚. Next year, can we please just have more practical breakthroughs? Like, how about some real solutions for climate collapse or something? πŸŒŽπŸ’š
