POPSFuture engines full of compressed air They are expected to be so popular, that there will soon be fueling stations for them. Maybe they could just supercharge the tyre pump. The car is expected to need 2 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers. The prototype of the bike, can hold 91/2 litres of compressed air, which will carry a rider for just over a kilometer.

POPSSafer cars ahead Due to the simplicity of the said technologies it is estimated that it will not take a long time till we see many cars equipped. no more parking scratches..:)

POPSBuilding 'The Matrix' Feynman envisioned, a general purpose, programmable quantum computer could itself carry out quantum simulations. But such machines are still decades away, most researchers say, while machines designed only for quantum simulations may become available sooner.

POPSMicroscope On A Chip Researchers at Caltech, recently developed the revolutionary new type of microscope without lenses. The devices could be mass-produced at a cost of $10 each and incorporated into large arrays, enabling high-throughput imaging in biology labs. The device is also compact enough to be put in a cell phone and it can use just sunlight for illumination. This makes it very appealing for Third-World applications,

POPSU.N.C.L.E. Cool Life imitates art. The first photo and article tell of a prototype cell phone/pen and the second photo is from the 1960's t.v. show 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'. Please note the similarities but please ignore the drool running down my chin. I've wanted one of these since I was a boy watching my favorite t.v. show.U

POPSThe CO2 extractor Every living thing relies on CO2 being in the atmosphere. That said, why do environmental alarmists oppose the CO2 scrubber? The argument that it is inefficient just doesn't fly because all technology becomes cheaper and more efficient over time. I think we all know the reason why they oppose it. The CO2 scrubber does not allow them to control your life.

POPS First Electronic Ink Magazine Cover Expected “The possibilities of print have just begun. In two years, I hope this looks like cellphones did in 1982, or car phones.” Science fiction readers have been looking forward to this development for a long time, and can give us an idea of what this technology will look like in coming years. For example, writer Greg Bear had a very clear view of the Esquire E-ink cover in 2003 in "Darwin's Children." He wrote about e-paper covers with speaker chips.
