MIT researchers have developed an imaging system so fast that it captures the speed of light.
It allows them to string together shots taken less than two-trillionths of a second apart to create videos of light passing through liquids and objects.

Earthships

HOMES OF THE FUTURE...TODAY

the homes are primarily constructed to work as autonomous buildings and are generally made of earth-filled tires, using thermal mass construction to naturally regulate indoor temperature. They also usually have their own special natural ventilation system. Earthships are generally off-the-grid homes, minimizing their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels. Earthships are built to utilize the available local resources, especially energy from the sun. For example, windows on sun-facing walls admit lighting and heating, and the buildings are often horseshoe-shaped to maximize natural light and solar-gain during winter months. The thick, dense inner walls provide thermal mass that naturally regulates the interior temperature during both cold and hot outside temperatures.

We will live side by side with robots. These robots will be able to read emotions and act accordingly. Almost like a  personal shrink. Among Among many other things, they may even be used for companionship. More human than human.
