Digital Twins 101 – The Virtual Mirror of Reality

In this episode of DeepTech 101, we explore how digital twins—virtual replicas of machines, cities, and even human organs—are reshaping industries. From jet engines that predict their own maintenance to smart cities that simulate traffic and energy flows, digital twins are becoming the nervous system of the physical world.

We break down what makes digital twins different from simple simulations, why they matter for aerospace, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing, and the challenges of scaling them securely. Finally, we look ahead at emerging frontiers like human digital twins and system-of-systems ecosystems.

If you’ve ever wondered how the future will be modeled before it’s built, this episode is for you.
