Transparent solar cell could make every window and screen a power source!
Fantastic transparent solar cell technology developed by a Michigan State University research team is a clear step towards the future of power.
Ion Engine – Future Propulsion
Innovative new ion engine could support long distance space travel without the need for contemporary fuel! WOW! In theory this certainly is an awesome feat. The reality is that there is still much testing an research to be done, but at the end of the day, innovations such as this may well be a significant step to not only being able to explore our solar system (to start with), but no doubt help instil an better understanding of the value and significance of our tiny blue planet.
Augmented reality to turn your world on its head!

Future Performers
The future of performance may well indeed become even more fabricated than it is today. See the following clip ‘The Pieces Fit’ by Module. This music is more than a vocal with effects and a snazzy clip to match. The female robot vocal is completely synthetic. It is done by[…]
Enhancing our Senses
Augmented reality has been a round for a while. What is new is considering how we might be able to look at enhancing our basic senses through technology to improve our reality. Eidos have developed two main prototypes which look at approaching the nature of how we see and how we hear in a very different way indeed.
