HOVERBOARD Remember Marty McFly on the Hoverboard in ‘Back to the Future’? The
Hoverboard now exists as a prototype named The Hendo, the world’s
first made by Arx Pax. Yup, nothing but air between the base of the
board and the ground.

LASER TRACTOR BEAMS Reversible laser tractor beam invented by Physicists! Tiny single laser
beam is able to control minuscule particles about 0.2mm in diameter
20cm away in distance. A long ways from towing spaceships like in the
movies but still a fine example of science-fiction crossing into reality.

GOOGLE MAPS LIWA DESERT 360 degrees pictures of Liwa in Abu Dhabi are captured from Google
Street Trekkers mounted on the hump of camels. Amazing ‘street views’

BODY TEMPERATURE CONTROL The Wristify is a bracelet that helps control body temperature, cooling
down when hot and warming up when cold. Perhaps a future where
air-conditioners and heaters may be done away and the bikini is worn
in all seasons?

SEDUCED BY INTELLIGENT ROBOTS A thought provoking piece about the basis of human’s fascination with
super-smart machines. Could our obsession to create artificial
intelligence that is human-like be driven by a latent romantic longing
for the perfect companion rather than scientific curiosity?

neurodevelopment disorders.
