This market resolves to 'Yes' if Microsoft publicly demonstrates its glass data storage technology, as described in the TweakTown article, by December 31, 2026. A public demonstration must be confirmed by a credible news source or official Microsoft announcement. The demonstration should showcase the technology's capability to store data on borosilicate glass.
This market resolves to Yes if by March 31, 2027, there is documented evidence of Edison’s revived nickel-iron battery being used in at least one commercial application, as reported by reliable technology or energy industry sources.
This market resolves to Yes if by December 31, 2026, human brain cells on a chip, similar to those developed by Cortical Labs, can play the game Doom with performance metrics (e.g., completion time, accuracy, strategic decision-making) that are comparable to those of average human gamers, as determined by a verified and publicly available demonstration or study.
This market resolves to Yes if India successfully produces and publicly announces the completion of its first domestically designed semiconductor chip by December 31, 2026. The chip must be entirely designed and fabricated within India as part of its electronics manufacturing initiative.
