Searching for a better life: From bottling water to curing cancer
Abstract:
In the mobile communication field, for example, we have GSM, 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and soon WiMAX, all sending electromagnetic radiation bouncing around us. The December 2007 issue of Science & Technology Review highlights the use of simulation to determine the health impacts of electromagnetic waves.
Where else will R&D programs be focused? Judging from the many publications we can get on the Internet, it is hard to pinpoint. Citing a list on Economist.com, we can probably safely say that DNA and genetic engineering, nanotechnology, nuclear for peaceful and non-peaceful purposes, stem cells, cancer, robotics and green cars will continue to be in vogue.
