TR Picks 10 Emerging Technologies of 08

arktemplar suggests Technology Review for their annual list of 10 emerging technologies that the editors believe will be particularly important over the next few years. Quoting: "This is work ready to emerge from the lab, in a broad range of areas: energy, computer hardware and software, biological imaging, social interactions. Two of the technologies — cellulolytic enzymes and atomic magnetometers — are efforts by leading scientists to solve critical problems, while five — surprise modeling, connectomics, probabilistic CMOS, reality mining, and offline Web applications — represent whole new ways of looking at problems. And three — graphene transistors, nanoradio, and wireless power — are amazing feats of engineering that have created something entirely new."

  1. Africans unite! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It has come to my attention that Slashdot is a racist arena where white supremacists take pleasure in taunting the noble African races. The quality of news is also degenerating We should not stand for this. We should unite and form our own site with stuff that really matters, and Africans can feel welcome.



    I have also noticed that the white supremacists have begun targeting Asian races, such as the Chinese. Would the Chinese also be interested in supporting a breakaway site?
