This year 2023 promises to come with several super interesting events regarding science and technology. The expectation is that large scientific facilities will be put into operation and research on the development of vaccines and drugs for COVID-19 will continue to be the focus for the community. Check out some of the events below. technological that will take place during the year.

Check out the main 4 events now:
1. Space exploration
China, through the Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, has reported that it will organize around 50 launches in 2023. In addition, the country will continue to research and develop the Tianwen-2 asteroid probe and the Chang'e-7 lunar probe.
Other countries will continue the momentum of space exploration, with, of course, the moon as the main focus. NASA will continue its mission to the Psyche asteroid.
2. Drug developments amid Covid-19
The focus on vaccines to combat Covid-19 will continue throughout this year. The use of mRNA vaccines during the pandemic has spurred development for other diseases.
BioNTech will collaborate with Pfizer to develop an mRNA-based vaccine that will reduce the rate of herpes zoster.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the drug lecanemab which can slow the progression of Alzheimer's by 27%.
3. advances in physics
This year, large facilities will be the basis for the development of new studies in physics, such as the underground neutrino observatory in Jiangmen, China, with probable completion in 2023. This facility aims to study the hierarchy of neutrino masses.
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the first hard X-ray free electron laser, will have another update. In this advance, there is an increase in its capacity from 120 pulses per second to 1 million pulses per second.
In 2023 the Matter Wave Interferometric Gravitation Antenna (MIGA) goes into operation. Located in underground France, it will use cold atom interferometry to identify changes in gravity.
Construction of the European Spallation Source in southern Sweden will be completed.
4. ecological conservation
With the aim of reversing the loss of biodiversity in the world, it will come into effect under the leadership of China, a according to UN biodiversity targets by 2030 entitled Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. All items in the agreement were discussed at the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP27) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
