Each year, Technology Review publishes its list of 10 emerging technologies that its editors believe will be particularly important over the next few years. This is work ready to emerge from the lab, in a broad range of areas: energy, computer hardware and software, biological imaging, and more. 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.

    11th and 12th points: a SIMPLE but VERY USEFUL more "ENERGY DENSE" Wind Power and the EEStor energy storage:

    just imagine how the world will change (1st the high priced oil...) if we will have soon in 2008 the more "energy dense" Wind Energy Skyscrapers Power Plants:

    and the ultra-cheap/ultra-dense EEStor super-capacitors for wind energy storage and long travels electric cars:
