This article features future inventions - nano-robot bugs, future nanotechnology, e-paper, tissue regeneration, electric clothes, and undersea hotel.
Advances in microelectronics is making yesterday's science fiction into tomorrow's future inventions.
Scientists at the University of California have implanted beetles with miniaturized electronics that allows the insects to be controlled.
Research presented at a conference in Italy demonstrated a new technology for creating "cyborg insects".
The flying beetles receive wireless signals from a mobile transmitter that controls the insect. Varying impulses trigger an appropriate response from the beetle so that it flys according to it's handler.
The insect can be made to take-off, land, hover, or follow a given flight path.
Previous research concentrated on moths but giant flower beetles were easier to operate and could carry larger payloads because of their size.
Further advances with nanobots and miniaturization will allow heat sensors and cameras to be embedded into the bugs. The insect could then be used for surveillance or search and rescue missions.
Passive scanning devices with high definition output for medical and EOD, titanium/carbon nano tube matrix (volume production), electro optical massively parallel chips, functioning coander effect devices, active clothing (self cleaning, kinetic/electric energy driven power source).
Once our scientists have mastered how we can travel without the need for transport, we could transport ourselves through an Interstellar Transporter system.
