Las 100 innovaciones más destacadas del año 2022

Desde el año 1998, la publicación Popular Science presenta anualmente las innovaciones más destacadas en el período, que de una u otra forma contribuyen a mejorar el estándar y calidad de vida de los habitantes del planeta tierra. En el 2022, se presentó la edición Nro 35, habiendo sido elegida como la “Innovación del Año”, el James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), que permitirá a la humanidad ver imágenes del universo, de formas nuevas e impresionantes hasta ahora desconocidas. Pero el JWST, es solo uno de los 100 logros tecnológicos que los editores de esa prestigiosa publicación, han seleccionado como merecedores de un especial reconocimiento.


On a cloudy Christmas morning last year, a rocket carrying the most powerful space telescope ever built blasted off from a launchpad in French Guiana. After reaching its destination in space about a month later, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began sending back sparkling presents to humanity—jaw-dropping images that are revealing our universe in stunning new ways.

Every year since 1988, Popular Science has highlighted the innovations that make living on Earth even a tiny bit better. And this year—our 35th—has been remarkable, thanks to the successful deployment of the JWST, which earned our highest honor as the Innovation of the Year. But it’s just one item out of the 100 stellar technological accomplishments our editors have selected to recognize.

The list below represents months of research, testing, discussion, and debate. It celebrates exciting inventions that are improving our lives in ways both big and small. These technologies and discoveries are teaching us about the nature of the universe and treating diseases, but they’re also giving us better ways of entertaining and expressing ourselves.

With 10 categories spanning from aerospace to sports and outdoors, the list is a doozy. We’ve got Naval fighter jets on the big screen and TikTok filters on your phone. There’s gear to help you explore the great outdoors, and devices to help you improve your health and home. We’ve got gadgets galore, a very long suspension bridge, and an EV with a range of 747 miles. So buckle up, and explore the winners below.
