Summary: Welcome to Friday Futures, our weekly guide to the latest visions of The Future from around the web. This week: aerosols deliver nanobots; a lake under Mars; Nuclear 2.0; super volcanos; dumb chatbots and plastic munching soil bugs. They just created an aerosol that delivers nanobots You may have sworn off aerosol sprays in the ’90s when everyone was talking about the hole in the ozone layer, but a team of researchers from MIT has found a use for aerosols that could be good for both the environment and our health.

Researchers have now identified an alternative: films made of the polymer PBAT biodegrade in soils.

However,… Now we have weird – no, wait – bendable, wearable TV Shenzhen-based ultra-thin flexible display maker Royole demonstrated during the World Cup that watching soccer games on goods such as hats and clothes is now a reality.

A research team led by Roberto Orosei, a professor at the University of Bologna, has detected a lake of liquid water 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) wide about 1.5 kilometers (.9 miles) below the surface of Mars’ southern ice cap. Read more… Now, they are making chatbots dumb so they can talk to us Tech giants have been trying to one-up each other to make the most intelligent chatbot out there. Landbot, a one-year-old Spanish tech startup, is taking a different approach: it’s making a chatbot-builder for businesses that does the bare minimum, and nothing more.
