Somewhere in the future it is possible to see flying robots flown by fruit flies! It seems there is some use for them, after all...Enjoy!

Here's a cool project: a personnel helicopter, that actually seems feasible to use. Although I find it cool, especially because it can be made portable, I can't stop to think that in a moment of not paying attention, or if you crash, those blades could (potentially) turn you into mince meat. Do you see this as the future of personal transportation?

This cool video is from Discovery Channel's Future Weapons show, which is one of my favorite TV shows. In this 8 minute video you'll see one of the latest recoilless shotguns which is able to fire up to 300 rounds per minute, obliterating everything in its path! Pretty useful, huh?

The coolest robots presented in this video are by far the snakes. Being able to swim in water, rotate on ground, and even raise their front half of the body, they definitely have a bright future ahead. Very cool!

NASA hopes that this new rover concept is the way to go into the future and it will lead towards a new way of exploring harsh environments, hopefully on other planets! Very cool! And here's an actual (smaller) project built by NASA:

The Japanese have an odd way of thinking. Here's another fine example of this kind: a cool futuristic door, that opens in pieces. Although it's spectacular, and maybe energy efficient to some point, I fail to see the real world usefulness for it, especially since it also has a few bugs. Anyway, it's pretty cool! Enjoy!

digg_url = 'http://www.digg.com/videos_educational/Spit_Art_2'; Well...this a new one to me...a spit artist doing what he knows best: spit art. I don't know if a spit artist has a future but let's hope we'll see more of his wet art. Go, go spit artist. Enjoy.

Under the motto: "We bring you into the future" this commercial present a state-of-the-art gaming console from the 1980s. Just show this commercial to any kid who complains about a game's graphics!

Well if something is going to leave a psychological mark on your future, than something like this will...It's definitely the most embarrassing thing I can think of, that can happen to someone!

This is a video presentation by Will Wheaton in which he praises Sony's OLED TV with 1,000,000/1 Contrast ratio. OLED TV's can be as thin as 3mm. So if you're thinking of buying yourself a plasma/LCD TV maybe you should wait, because as OLED technology matures, prices for plasma and LCD TVs will plummet!

In the string theory and the super string theory physicists talk about the tenth dimension, and even the eleventh dimension, but how can that be? Well in this video clip explains what the tenth dimension is, and how the eleventh dimension could be theorized. I found it, very interesting, and extremely well done. The tenth dimension and eleventh dimension are the next big thing in physics, and sound very promising for the future of man kind! Hope you'll enjoy this fun physics lesson as much as I did

This little transformer can morph from a Humvee into a robot in a few seconds. Of course, there's not much future for it in real life, but it's freakin awesome to make as a science project!

This is the Skyguard Laser Defense system, which is part of the missile defense system, able to track, and fire upon incoming air threats. In this video clip the Skyguard Laser Defense System is tested by destroying mortars, artillery fire and missiles launched from the ground. The Skyguard Laser Defense system is definitely the future in terms of the missile defense system which America is believed to have up-and-running.

This is one sexy video. Patricia Berlatto is relatively unknown in the modeling business, but as this sexy photoshoot shows, she's got the future in front of her. Enjoy this sexy video clip!Also check out our Sexy clips category for more.

From the author of Minority Report, comes the thriller NEXT and this movie trailer. In NEXT, Nicholas Cage plays Cris Johnson, a man who has the ability to see into his own future. Also staring as Callie Ferris is Julianne Moore. The release date for the movie NEXT is scheduled on April 21st. Until then enjoy the NEXT movie trailer!

The new transformers movie is to be released July 4, 2007. The trailer of this movie has already been released, and uploaded to youtube. The story of transformers the movie is that dueling alien races (Autobots and Decepticons) bring their battle to Earth, leaving the future of humankind hanging in the balance. The transformers movie trailer looks very promising and speaks for the whole "Transformers movie". Enjoy.

Small robots that walk on water like insects? The kitchen table, the walls of a room or the arms of an armchair that are self-cleaning? Two phenomena that Xiao Cheng Zeng, a professor of chemistry at University of Nebraska in Lincoln (USA), considers possible in the near future, and based on the same characteristic: super hidrofobia. Thanks to the computational performance of the super computer of the Riken Institute in Japan, the researcher is able to reproduce the conditions that give the area the property is to "roll" away the drops of water. In nature this phenomenon is observed on the bristles of caterpillars or on lotus flowers, and allows insects that often are seen on ponds slip skate on water. As the authors of the study reported the caterpillars or insects skaters get the super hydrophobia surface through a "two-tier" surface which means a waxy base on which there are microscopic structures like hair, often covered in turn by smaller "hair". These gradients decrease the surface area in contact with the drop of water. The result is that the drop rolls instead of sliding, as it would be a hydrophobic surface.

The use of an organic material has been put in place a structure capable of transmitting data at rates eight times higher than those of traditional devices . The study of materials capable of transmitting data at ever higher speeds is the constant challenge of the technology of optical communications. The use of a new organic material, tested by a team of U.S. and European research coordinated by Ivan Biaggi of Lehigh University (United States), has enabled to achieve data transfers much higher than that obtained so far with traditional devices. The novelty lies in the combination of structures in silicon with organic material, identified by the initials Ddmebt . This is essentially a kind of "nonlinear" device, able to change its molecular structure to the passage of light, making it propagate at high speed. To minimize interference with the passage of data, researchers have vaporized the organic material and the deposit left on the rails of silicon and in the spaces between them. In this way, explain the authors, the molecules are deposited "like snowflakes", forming a highly homogeneous plastic. It is precisely in the interstices between the rails of silicon, filled with new material, that the light passes at high speed, allowing you to transmit data up to 170 Gigabit per second (with the traditional structures, which consist only of silicon, you can reach a maximum speed around 20-30 Gigabit per second). Combining silicon with an architecture was needed to channel and confine the flow of light within very small spaces (the guide of silicon is separated by a few tens of nanometers).

The new devices can operate at 30 degrees above zero, rather than less than 70. This is the characteristic of the new generation of semiconductors, researched at the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM-CNR), and in the Ludwig Maximilian University in Monaco of Bavaria and the ETH Zurich (the study). Today there are two ways to record information on a medium: the electronic format, in which the binary language is the passage of electrons (the transistors) and magnetic (MRAM memory), more recently, in which the binary language is given by state of magnetization. To communicate these two systems could boost significantly the computational schemes, pending the distant quantum computer. Doubling the processing power and memory of a chip while maintaining the size, without the need to go in nano-scale (a scale, that is, a billionth of a meter) are just two of the technology that promises magnetic semiconductors suggest a near future. These devices were made over ten years ago, but so far required temperatures far below zero to work. The problem now seems outdated as the known semiconductors gallium arsenide containing traces of manganese, a metal which has ferromagnetic properties at around 200 degrees below zero. To increase the temperature threshold, above which the ferromagnetic behavior disappears, the researchers deposited on a semiconductor film of iron - metal known for its magnetic properties - the thickness of a few nanometers. Iron and manganese interacted so effectively that the new material, has a ferromagnetic behavior up to 30 degrees above zero, a jump of over a hundred degrees above the starting temperature. This result is a technological response parallel to that of the race to miniaturization and the research was selected the American Physical Society as one of the most important published in Physical Review Letters

A new instrument to simultaneously measure the magnetic field and the atomic structure of matter at the nanoscale has been developed. The applications of this are future generations of high-density memories Snapshots of the weakest and microscopic magnetic fields generated by just a few molecules of a nanometer (billionth of a meter). The researchers have obtained the S3 Center of the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM-CNR) of Modena and the University of Modena . This is a scanning microscope combined with a new highly sensitive magnetic sensor. The microscope scans close with his point - made up of a few atoms - the area of the test and how it relates to the roughness with a resolution of several nanometers. Beside the point, the sensor records the magnetic field intensity, but with high detail ( millionth of a meter). In this way the researchers were able to get together for the first time, images of atomic structure and magnetic properties of a thin layer of nano-magnet on a support of silicon. "The microscope allows us to measure directly the properties of nano-molecular magnets on the surface, even at temperatures close to absolute zero, to minus 270 degrees," says Marco. "Above all," says the researcher, "it helps us to understand the magnetism on the molecular scale."
