-Experts meet in Dallas Texas to discuss the challenges of sending humans into deep space.

Scientists from around world will descend on Dallas, Texas to meet and discuss the possibilities of deep space travel. This is the first ever meeting of international proponents for space travel. Speakers will discuss about technological developments that could give a spacecraft have the ability to travel into deep space.

The first day of the conference will discuss about near future projects. That includes continuing developing technologies that one day could send humans into deep space. The second day will discuss "mid future" advances, something that could happen in the next 50 years. That will include discussions on antimatter rockets and populating our solar system. Day three will discuss the idea of warp travel in search for other possible life in our universe and day four will serve as a day to "warp up" the meeting.

-Microsoft 45-inch touchscreen only costs $150.
A  company called Ubi Interactive is now selling software that can make anything from a wall to a desk a touchable touchscreen. Just hook up Microsoft's Kinect and a projector, then any display will become touchable.  Other technologies Microsoft is working on include an idea of projecting your smartphone on your hand. The smartphone projection would also have touch screen capabilities.  Microsoft's goal is to have these touchable screens everywhere in society -preferably by 2020.                           

-Artificial lead that can covert sunlight into energy?
The idea of converting sun energy into usable energy is closer to reality than one thinks. Harvard Professor Daniel Nocera  has developed an artificial leaf that replicates photosynthesis. Silicon water coats each side of the catalyst - one side produces oxygen and the other produces hydrogen. The challenge with this product  is overcoming the high engineering costs needed for light-harvesting infrastructure to make it commercially scalable. This small piece of technology has potential to solve our energy needs if it overcomes a few more obstacles.
