So, automakers are focused on safety systems more than ever before. Given the emphasis on improving vehicular safety, it's possible that well-known phrases such as "live fast and die young" may lose their meaning as innovative new devices are built into cars and trucks and other things that go. Another amazing innovation tow...

The Next World....: Printing Organs is Not Just Science Fiction Anymore
http://thenextworld-govind.blogspot.com/2009/08/printing-organs-is-not-just-science.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Printing Organs is Not Just Science Fiction Anymore. It’s working . This was the first time extended biological constructs, and not just individual cells, were deposited using an automatic delivery device. I remember closing my eyes for a few seconds and imagining how one day we were going to build blood vessels, hearts and kidneys from the patients’ own cells (called autologous tissue engineering) and solve the looming shortage of donor organs.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009. The Possibilities and Advantages of Building Floating Constructions. Dynamics in the vertical plane. Dynamics in the horizontal plane. Space for water and space for living can be perfectly combined. Because of vertical and horizontal freedom the spatial experience in the water-based neighborhoods will stay dynamic. Terms such as "real estate" and "movable property," however, will acquire a completely new meaning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 1000am- - 12.00noon. Earn gi...

Sight is one of the main venues for us to explore the outside world. For the longest time, we relied on. Is the idea of building a functional contact lens with an integrated display and wireless capability completely crazy? It is "perceivable" that the human of the future may be using a contact lens tha...

The Next World....: Clothes Get Smarter
http://thenextworld-govind.blogspot.com/2009/08/clothes-get-smarter.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2009. We’re used to interfacing with the Internet via a PC or handheld device, but in the next 20 years, the Web is going to make its way into our bedrooms, our bathrooms and even our clothes. Industry watchers estimate that a $400 million market for Smart Fabrics and Interactive/Intelligent Textiles (SFIT) is already in place. Gives new meaning to the phrase "awkward encounter," doesn't it? Just goes to show, sometimes intelligence isn't everything. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
