Popular Science’s Year’s 100 Greatest Innovations Of 2009
This is always a good list to check out every year, since I find there's always a few cool surprises. Here's a little bit about it from the Popsci site:
As you click through our annual Best of What’s New Award coverage online, you’ll see all sorts of gizmos and breakthroughs whose “wow!” attributes, the reasons we decided they were one of the top 100 innovations of the year, are immediately apparent: a 54-inch-screen plasma TV that’s an inch thick and completely unencumbered by cables; a privately developed and launched rocket that successfully delivered payload to orbit; an electromagnetic helmet that could cure depression. But a higher-than-usual proportion of winners this year seem to follow the stethoscope model of reinventing within an extremely familiar form: a DSLR camera that shoots studio-quality movies; glass so strong you might one day be able to build a skyscraper out of it; wallpaper that can protect a building against a bomb blast.
These winners provide proof that breakthrough technology doesn’t have to be flashy to be effective.
