In the future, the number of tiny but powerful computers you encounter every day will number in the thousands, perhaps millions. Computers which use light to process large amounts of data faster than ever before are just one of many groundbreaking potential applications of a new £6 million research programmed.
The Future of Robotics
Robotic engineers are designing the next generation of robots to look feel and act more human. Realistic looking hair and skin with embedded sensors will allow robots to react naturally in their environment.
Future Cars
Fuel efficient, zero emission vehicles will use high tech electronics to assist drivers in a wide variety of ways. Vehicles will communicate with each other, with the road and with traffic signals. Autos and trucks of the future will use vision enhancement devices to help you navigate through bad weather and warn you of a possible collision with a pedestrian or animal.
The Future of Electronics
The future is unfolding all around us. Over the next decade we will see a slew of new products that we can hardly imagine today. Future phones will be more than just phones, they will be all of your mobile devices combined into one. They may be transparent, flexible, self-cleaning, and shape-shifting, but one thing is for sure, they will be cool.
Controlling the Weather
New satellites and high tech measuring equipment are helping scientists and researchers learn more about the weather patterns of the earth. By mid century you can expect more accurate weather predictions and eventually, controlling the weather itself
Future Energy Technology
Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished). Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Solar energy can be used directly for heating and lighting, for generating electricity and a variety of commercial and industrial uses
