�Person of the Year� for 2009- Pranav Mistry

I don�t want to lag behind Time magazine in naming my �Person of the Year" for 2009 now that they have named Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for this honor. My person of the year is Pranav Mistry --this guy is a genius of our times.
 Pranav is redefining the meaning for the word �SixthSense'. His ground break research on, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures is just amazing.
'SixthSense' devices are wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.

I would like you to watch his video and visit his website to get a clear idea about the extent and impact of this technology.

This guy is a true philanthropist �all his work is open source.

Prototype sixth sense gadgets cost as little as $350. I hope we don�t have to wait too long to wear such a device.

Nemo H2--First fuel cell boat

After  automobile it is the trun of boats to Go Green.Recently world's first  fuel cell boat -Nemo H2 was launched, emitting only water vapour and gliding silently through Amsterdam�s centuries-old canals, a canal boat�a popular tourist attraction�powered by fuel cells made its debut cruise on Wednesday. The �Nemo H2,� which can carry about 87 people, is the first of its kind designed specifically to run on a fuel cell engine, in which hydrogen and oxygen are mixed to create electricity and water, without producing air-polluting gases.

Paper and Cloth Batteries

If a team of researchers at Stanford University are to be believed, Batteries made from plain copier paper could make for future energy storage that is truly paper thin.
These guys started with off-the-shelf copier paper, painting it with an "ink" made of carbon nanotubes-tiny cylinders of carbon - to collect electric charge..
The coated paper is then dipped in lithium-containing solutions and an electrolyte to provide the chemical reaction that generates a battery's electric current.
The paper acts to collect the electric charge from the reaction. Using paper in this way could reduce the weight of batteries, typically made with metal current collectors, by 20%.
The team's batteries are also capable of releasing their stored energy quickly. That is a valuable characteristic for applications that need quick bursts of energy, such as electric vehicles - although the team has no immediate plans to develop vehicle batteries.
The team says that adaptations to the technique in the future could allow for simply painting the nanotube ink and active materials onto surfaces such as walls.
They have even experimented with a number of textiles, paving the way for batteries made largely of cloth.
Their work is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
