Cashmere wool, which is supposed to be the finest wool was first made in Kashmir and was used to make hand- made shawls. These shawls are popular even today.

Genetically engineered immune cells are the way forward in the battle against cancer, and are saving the lives of cancer patients. Via this technology, live cells are genetically altered to hunt and destroy leukemia. This technique takes the T cells (killer cells of the immune system) from a person’s bloodstream and, using a virus, adds new DNA instructions to aim them at the type of blood cell that goes awry in leukemia. The technique has now been tested in hundreds of patients, with spectacular results, often resulting in complete remission.

Electric lights were developed throughout the 1800s thanks to the efforts of inventors like Warren de la Rue, Joseph Wilson Swan and Thomas Alva Edison. It was Edison and Swan who patented the first long-lasting light bulbs in 1879 and 1880, thereby ending reliance on daylight. Electric lights went on to be used in everything from home lighting and street lamps to flashlights and car headlights. The complex networks of wires erected to power early light bulbs also helped lead to the first domestic electrical wiring, paving the way for countless other in-home appliances.

A giant step forward in the field of medicine was the use of ‘antibiotics’. They saved millions of lives by killing and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. Scientists like Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister were the first to recognize and attempt to combat bacteria, but it was Alexander Fleming who made the first leap in antibiotics when he accidentally discovered the bacteria-inhibiting mold known as penicillin in 1928. Antibiotics proved to be a major improvement on antiseptics—which killed human cells along with bacteria—and their use has spread rapidly now.

Rockets typically are destroyed on their maiden voyage. But now, thanks to this new technology, they can make an upright landing and be refueled for another trip, setting the stage for a new era in spaceflight. Two tech billionaires made it happen last year - Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin first pulled off a landing in November; Elon Musk’s SpaceX did it in December. If this can be done regularly and rockets can be refueled over and over, spaceflight could become a hundred times cheaper.
