MIT’s Technology Review offered its Top 10 Emerging Technologies Trends for 2007 in an article from last week. This year’s emerging trends includes:
– optical antennas — a basic technology with potentially broad applications
– metamaterials — another basic technology with potentially broad applications
– peer-to-peer video — help save us from a bogged down Internet from the growth in video on the web
– personalized medical monitors — can help to “simplify and improve medical diagnoses”
– compressive sensing — “revamp digital imaging systems in cameras and medical scanners”
– nanohealing — nanotechnology application for medicine
– quantum-dot solar power — nanotechnology application for solar power
– neuron control — might “help physicians fine-tune treatments for brain disorders such as depression and Parkinson’s disease”
– single-cell analysis — could “lead directly to predictive tests that could help doctors treat cancers more effectively”
– mobile augmented reality — combines “location sensors and advanced visual algorithms with cell phones…to help us figure our where we are”
