Answer:  the same way they have always understood and dealt with  questions 
that come up -- by acquiring the necessary knowledge as needed.   They 
consult with experts who have that knowledge in whatever field of  science, 
technology or medicine is relevant.
 
And PS I object to the slightly snarky, disrespectful tone of this  
question.  The greatest halachic authorities of our generation  and previous 
generations -- think of R' Moshe Feinstein, the Chazon Ish, the  Chofetz Chaim -- 
were not too uninformed or unsophisticated to deal  with complex halachic 
issues.
