In ExploraVision, students
choose a current technology
and imagine what it could be
like in 20 years.
As recognition for their outstanding achievement,
national finalist team members and their
parents/guardians will travel to Washington, D.C.
in June for ExploraVision Awards Weekend.
ExploraVision prizes include:
* First Prize (4 teams): U.S. EE Savings Bond
worth $10,000* at maturity for each student.
* Second Prize (4 teams): U.S. EE Savings Bond
worth $5,000* at maturity for each student.

Buckyballs and
nanotubes are made
Named after R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the
geodesic dome, "BuckyBall" is the nickname for a
Carbon 60 molecule. Like the faces of a soccer
ball, it has 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons.

CNT can be metallic or
semiconducting and offers amazing
possibilities to create future
nanoelectronics devices, circuits,
and computers.
Nanotubes are as hard as
diamonds and have the strongest
tensile strength known.
They Emit light!
They Repair Themselves!

Space
Elevator
Twenty tons of cable and
reel would be kicked up to
geosynchronous altitude by
spacecraft to get the project
started.
The making of carbon
nanotubes is moving
very quickly.

Scientists Mario R. Capecchi, Oliver Smithies and Sir Martin J. Evans have
been named the recipients of the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine. The three
developed a technique called "gene targeting," which lets scientists deactivate
or modify particular genes in mice. That in turn lets them study how those
genes affect health and disease.

Wind Power
Wave Energy (Pelamis)
VOLTS FROM A MECHANICAL SEA SNAKE
Pelamis is a segmented cylinder moored at both ends to the
ocean floor. As a wave passes down the length of Pelamis,
hinged joints on the power conversion modules allow the
tubes to move up and down and side to side. The motion of
the tubes relative to one another drives pumps that turn
generators. The electricity flows via a cable to a shore-based
grid. To access high-energy swells, Pelamis is designed for
use about five miles offshore. It generates over 2.5 million
kWh's of electricity per year, enough to provide power for
150-200 homes. The same technology will be used to
desalinate water or produce hydrogen
Solar Power
AntiMatter CERN
When matter comes into contact with antimatter it
produces an explosion of pure radiation, traveling
outwards at the speed of light. Both particles that
created the explosion are completely destroyed,
leaving behind only other subatomic particles. It's a
perfect conversion of mass into energy. It releases
about 10 billion time the energy of a chemical
reaction and 1000 times more than nuclear fission in
a nuclear power plant.
Cloning could offer a key to the

On January 8, 2001, scientists at Advanced Cell Technology, Inc.,
announced the birth of the first clone of an endangered animal, a
baby bull gaur (a large wild ox from India and southeast Asia)
named Noah.
Good News Holdings building the
first "green" film and television
production studio, and what Good
News Holdings expects to be the most
modern, user-friendly studio complex
in the world.
While this $150 M project is still in
the early stage, with feasibility studies
being conducted, Good News
Holdings has created a Delaware
based LLC named "Project Julia"
(working title) to facilitate progress.

Cryogenics is a branch of physics (or engineering) that studies the
production of very low temperatures (below –150 °C, –238 °F or
123 K) and the behavior of materials at those temperatures.
Superconductors
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Storage and transport breakthroughs
Cryonics is freezing living things so they may be
brought back to life in the future. This has been
successfully done with hamsters. Click Here
Aging can be slowed in
laboratory rodents by low-calorie
diets, and changes in single genes
can extend mouse life span by 40
percent or more.
U.S. life expectancy
at birth has
increased by about 7
years (from 70 to
77) since 1960
