Different specialized media, universities and some hardware manufacturers, offer a prognosis on the eight emerging technologies that will be imposed during 2011.
1 Graphene.
This material derived from graphite is cheap, flexible, transparent and highgly conductible. Its discoverers won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. It can be used for touch screens, mobile phones and solar panel. This form of pure carbon in a single atomic layer, revolutionized the electronics, computer and communication was difficult to replicate industrially. But thanks to a purification of Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, will be produced on a large scale next year.
2 Interactive signs.
Serve to enhance the consumer experience through a touchscreen interface, with videos and face recognition, which provides information on the product and the appropriate way for its implementation.
3 Robots nurses.
This mobile video unit will enter the patient room to perform different procedures (take the pressure or fever, to deliver medication) and interact with patients.
4 3D Mobile phones.
Depth perception is the work of Julien Flack, Chief Technology Officer of Dynamic Digital Depth, which through a 3D scene synthesis software, estimating the depth of objects. It does not require glasses.
5 LED TV.
They are 30% more efficient in saving energy than traditional LCD, heat up less, they have no color uniformity problems, last longer, do not use toxic materials and do not produce waste. It is expected that next year the price drops by 35%.
6 Photovoltaic Components.
Placing silver nanoparticles on thin film photovoltaic panels, converting from 8 to 12% of the light captured to electricity. Extending this finding could change the balance of the technology used in solar cells.
7 Cyber implants.
The new generation of implantable medical devices based on optical and electronic materials. They monitor vital signs and store data to add to the patient’s medical history
