Technology Review has come out with their annual list of the top 10 most exciting, cutting -edge technologies and I can't wait to hear what our colleagues have to say about the ethical, legal, and societal implications (especially my personal favorites, 7, 4, and 3):
9.) Nanocharging Solar
7.) Personalized Medical Monitors
5.) A New Focus for Light - light-focusing optical antennas that could lead to DVDs that hold hundreds of movies.
4.) Neuron Control – a genetically engineered "light switch," which lets scientists turn selected parts of the brain on and off, may help improve treatments for depression and other disorders.
3.) Nanohealing -Tiny fibers will save lives by stopping bleeding and aiding recovery from brain injury, says Rutledge Ellis-Behnke.
2.) Digital Imaging, Reimagined - compressive sensing could help devices such as cameras and medical scanners capture images more efficiently.
Which ones are your favorites? Which ones do you have the most hope for?
