Scientists Report Quantum Teleportation Breakthroughs

Two research teams publishing in the current issue of Nature said they have achieved breakthroughs in controlling "quantum teleportation," a process which uses the peculiarities of entangled quantum states in a pair of particles like photons to transfer information from one location to another instantaneously. Scientists from Japan and Switzerland, in separate studies, produced new research developments which "could change the very face of computing and technological security," according to the National Journal.

Google‘s 3D interactive internet visor ‘Google Goggles’ Apparently Google is preparing a new revolutionary product called Google Goggles, an interactive visor which will display Internet content in three dimensions. Insiders already call this gadget “the Googgles”. Anybody who puts on this device will be immersed in a three dimensional ‘stereo-vision’ virtual reality called 3dLife. 3dLife is a pun referring to the three dimensional nature of the interface, but also a reference to the increasingly popular Second Life virtual reality. The Google Goggles may also function as a phone, but that is not their main purpose. Google builds this device with Israel-based Mirage Innovations.

9 ways that 3D printing is going to change business. I think we can all agree that the evolution of 3D printing technology thus far has been stunning.

9 ways that 3D printing is going to change business

But I wanted to know what specific ways entrepreneurs are actually looking to use the technology in business, and why — so I asked a panel of nine founders the following: As an entrepreneur, what’s most exciting to you about 3D printing? Where do you see it being utilized most in the near term? Their most compelling responses are below. 1. Once it becomes more cost-efficient to build this way (and it will) you’ll have an ‘app store’ of objects you can download and print out at your leisure. . - Liam Martin, Staff.com 2. I love the idea of having a 3D printer to build all the little knickknacks in my life, from the screw that I lost in my IKEA coffee table to an extra pair of earbuds for running.

. - John Meyer, Lemon.ly 3. Smart Grid 2025. IFTF and IEEE Spectrum co-sponsored Smart Grid 2025, a game run on our Foresight Engine engaged forecasting platform.

Smart Grid 2025

The game was open for 24 hours, starting March 17, 2011 and ending on March 18, 2011. Smart Grid 2025 was an opportunity to make a new energy future. It posed such questions as: What do we need to do today to create the best possible future for the smart grid? What resources are needed? What integration models? Blended Reality. We are creating a new kind of reality, one in which physical and digital environments, media, and interactions are woven together throughout our daily lives.

Blended Reality

In this world, the virtual and the physical are seamlessly integrated. Cyberspace is not a destination; rather, it is a layer tightly integrated into the world around us. Technology enables this transformation but, as is always the case, when we invent new technologies, they in turn re-invent us. In the realm of blended reality, the technologies and tools that we are creating change a fundamental part of our existence: the lenses through which we view and interact with the world. When Everything is Programmable Digital Stories. When Everything is Programmable Digital Stories As a part of the year-long Technology Horizons Program research task, When Everything is Progammable: Life in a Conmputational Age, the research team created a digital story—a scenario of of the future—in three parts to accompany the research released for the 2009 Fall Exchange.

When Everything is Programmable Digital Stories

The story follows "Omar"—a doctor working at Seattle Grace in about 2019—as he moves through his day and interacts with our programmable future. Each of the videos represent a different segment of the task technology map, A Map for the Programmable World (SR-1265). The first video, Part 1 embodies the forecasts around the "Programmable Self", Part 2 for "Programmable Society", and Part 3 for the "Programmable Environment. " The Coming Age of Networked Matter.
