Re: 27 fantastic ideas, which became a reality in 2012.

1. Paralyzed woman power of the mind is able to control his roboprotezom

The University of Pittsburgh American employees of the department of neurobiology for 13 months created a robotic arm for a 52-year-old paralyzed Jen Shoyermann (Jan Scheuermann). The woman was implanted in the cortex two 96-channel microelectrode. On the second day Jen could regain control "hand", and after 13 months if she owned the real biological limb.

2. Military robot was able to recognize and overcome obstacles

Take the next steps to create a learning cybernetic organism.

3. Genetically modified silk was stronger than steel

At the University of Wyoming scientists changed moth larvae hatch to yield silk, which is stronger than steel weight equivalent. The new material will be used in medical and military tasks.

4. DNA could photograph

Enzo di Fabrizio Institute of Technology in Genoa (Italy) with the electron microscope was able to take a picture of the DNA helix.

5. Stealth technology has been further developed

Canadian company HyperStealth Biotechnology showed a working prototype of the new material "Quantum Stealth» (Quantum Stealth), which is able to make the light rays bend around people and objects without batteries, mirrors and cameras.

6. Spray increase skin

The company has developed technology Avita Medical ReCell to help burn victims. The patient takes a small piece of skin is crushed and mixed with enzymes, taken from pigs, then produced a spray that is applied to the field of burns. Spray particles expand, covering the wound. Since the foundation is taken from the patient, the risk of rejection of the new skin is minimal.

7. James Cameron has reached the deepest point of the ocean

The famous director was the first person in the family have reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

8. Stem cells can prolong human life to 100 years

When the Institute for Regenerative Medicine elderly mice, whose life cycle is 21 days, a few days prior to the death of an injection of stem cells young mice results stunned scientists. Instead of the allotted term nature experimental mouse lived 71 days. Comparing with the man, it's like 80-year-old man to allow live to 200 years old.

9 . 3D-printer printed the house in one session

Enrico Dini created D-Shape printer can print a two storey building with all rooms, staircases, pipes, walls, using only sand and an inorganic compound. Fortress of the material obtained is comparable with reinforced concrete, and looks like a marble. On execution speed printing at home is time-only 25% of the normal period of construction of such facilities.

10. Drive car was allowed to drive on the streets of three American states

Google has begun testing their cars without a driver at the beginning of 2012. In May, the Nevada regulators allowed uncontrolled driving these cars on the streets. Then to starting joined Florida and California. Over 300,000 machine hours with only two accidents occurred and only when driving them sat a man.

11. "Voyager 1" left the solar system

Interplanetary station "Voyager 1" was launched in 1977 and became the first artificial object, flown away for the edge of the solar system

12. Inserted first printed on the 3D-printer artificial jaw

Artificial jaw of titanium powder coated with bioceramic was created for 83-year-old patient. This achievement opens the way for a bone to replace the individual needs. Maybe soon the same way it will be possible to print and other organs.

13. Found wandering planet

Until 2012, scientists were only known planets orbiting stars. Everything changed the opening of a celestial body CFBDSIR2149. Weighing in 4 Jupiter, the cosmic education was officially recognized as a planet and not a brown dwarf, as previously thought.

14. From embryos grown in nature impossible hybrids

Experiments on six separate connection embryos three cubs obezyanok monkeys been successful. These studies will allow a better understanding of the role of individual genes in living organisms and gene mutations in humans.

15. Artificial leaves will produce electricity

Using a relatively inexpensive starting materials, Daniel Nocera (Daniel G. Nocera) first in the world has managed to create artificial leaves. Nocera cells mimic photosynthesis true leaves, but produce hydrogen instead of oxygen. This hydrogen can then accumulate in the fuel elements for the production of electricity at all times.

1 6. Augmented Reality Glasses Google will make an all-encompassing Internet

Points displays augmented reality will radically change a person's life.

17. Was finally discovered experimentally Higgs

In the summer of representatives of the international research center CERN confirmed the discovery of a particle that the behavior coincides with the description of the Higgs boson. That means a practical confirmation of the existence of the Higgs field, the electromagnetic properties resembling, but the interaction with the masses, and not the magnetic field.

18. The emergence of low-cost flexible solar panels

Twin Creeks development startup called "Hyperion" is half the price than existing solar panels, and is able to compete with conventional energy. The cost per watt in this case is about 40 U.S. cents.

19. Open diamond planet

An international team of researchers have discovered a diamond exoplanet. When the amount is five times the size of Earth, the mass of the planet is close to the mass of Jupiter. The specifics of the location of the heavenly bodies in a binary star system suggest that it consists mostly of crystalline carbon.

20. Ocular implant restored sight to the blind

In the UK, two blind men during an eight-hour operation implanted artificial eye. The results are promising. After many years of blindness, both patients were able to a few weeks to recognize the shape of objects and began to see the colorful dreams. Doctors hope that the brains of patients eventually get used to interact with an artificial eye.

21. In Wales, all plant species in programmed barcodes

National Botanic Garden of Wales has made a database of local varieties of plants in 1143, of which 5700 have programmed barcodes. So now any type can be identified by pictures of seeds, roots, stems, and pollen.

22. First private spacecraft docks with ISS

The private company SpaceX successfully launched into orbit its cargo ship Dragon, which docked with the international space station.

23. Highly flexible glass will create devices with non-planar screens

The company Corning, based in New York, has demonstrated at the exhibition in Boston prototype of its flexible glass with a thickness of 0.05 mm

24. Robotic exoskeletons have to practice

In NASA have adopted exoskeleton X1 Robotic Exoskeleton. With a weight of 26 kg of the device has 4 engines on the joints in addition to the 6 passive joints.

25. The human brain is "hacked"

In Usenix Security Division of the Association of advanced computer systems, a group of researchers who are using available technologies have decided to show the vulnerability of the human brain. Using electroencephalograph and special software, they were able to consider the reaction of excited neurons and how it affects the activity of the brain in the case of recognition of human PIN credit card or a human face.

26. Open Planet four suns

Amateur astronomers have discovered a planet the size of Neptune, rotating on a close orbit around a binary star, which in turn revolves around a couple of other stars. Scientists are trying to figure out how the gravitational field of such a complex system is not thrown out of her planet.

27. Microsoft has patented Holodeck

According to documents filed with the patent, Microsoft wants to take the game experience beyond the single screen and make the screen all game room, including furniture. The system allows you to adjust the curves of objects in the room to simulate a smooth and complex surfaces

Awesome man awesome. YOu have shared one of the finest post and I believe you will have more such stuff about 2013 .
