New Technology on the Horizon
I am making a wish-list of all those futuristic technologies that we keep hearing about from time to time. Some of them I am sure are bogus, some of them real:
- NMR based liquid quantum computers
- optical computers
- fuel cell batteries for cars that eliminate alternators
- photocatalysts for making eco-friendly hydrogen fuel
- alternative fuel aircraft
- electronic paper
- mini-magnetospheric propulsion for deep space probes
- Extreme sport spacediving with cheap personal rockets
- long baseline optical interferometer space telescopes
- biomimetic ornithopter for martian aerial RPV missions
- Martian Greenhouse
- Commercial Fusion Power
