What are 'elastocalorics' or 'reconfigurable intelligent surfaces'? In a few years' time these emerging technologies may have transformed the way we heat and cool our homes, and how we transmit ever greater amounts of data.

They are among the technological innovations identified in the World Economic Forum's annual Top 10 Emerging Technologies report, which picks the tech that could transform the world in the coming years.

In this video-podcast, the two lead authors of the report take us through each of the 10 on this year's list.

The report is produced in collaboration with Frontiers.

Guests:

Mariette DiChristina, Dean and Professor of the Practice in Journalism, Boston University College of Communication

Bernie Meyerson, Chief Innovation Officer Emeritus, IBM
