The eighth lecture of the series, "An Outlook of Basic and Translational Research in Science and Engineering" was given by Research Professor Ken P. Chong from Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at The George Washington University. In the speech, he introduced the outlook and overview on fundamental and translational research in science and engineering including converging technologies that are the primary drivers of the 5th Industrial Revolution. He also introduced the new developments in mechanics, computation, 4D printing, smart systems/sensors, manufacturing, nano-, bio-, information-technologies, and AI, followed by the discussion with us about the convergence of these disruptive, translational, and transformative technologies, examples include areas of solid mechanics, nano mechanics/materials, smart materials, multi-scale problems, simulation 
methods, artificial intelligence, and others.
