Well well well yesterday I saw one of the series in Discovery Channel - "Next World: The Future"
They discussed about all the fascinating research that is gone around the world.
One of research concept that gave me goose bumps was the one named Claytronics
If you do a simple define:claytronics search on Google you would get the following definition
"Dubbed 'Claytronics' by Carnegie Mellon University, this is an emerging field of engineering concerning reconfigurable nanoscale robots"
Simple enough definition isn't it?
The first invention that Carnegie Mellon University is trying to implement using this technology is to create a device which would enable you to send and receive 3D fax.
If the research goes successful then you would be able to:
1) Create a 3D model of an object (Eg: Architect a building) on your office table using just your hands.
2) Color the model by giving command using you finger tips
3) Fax the model to your client - and the client would see a 3D model miraculously emerge in his office table 3D fax receiver.
3D Faxing is just one of the many things that can be done using claytronics
If you too want to get goose bumps then go to http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~claytronics/ and go to the 'Multimedia' page and check out the video named "Future Ad" which elaborates the immense future possibilities of this technology if the research is a success, which I certainly pray to be.

Really Scary Stuff
Really Scary Stuff...

I guess our future rocket would have laser guns mounted on their nose to disintegrate the orbitting debris in an attempt to just get out of earths atmosphere... its that scary
Our scientist must be already on their way to invent a gismo to solve this seemingly unavoidable problem of the future.
At that orbitting speed even a debri of a size of a marble would be a disaster
