translated from Spanish: 5 amazing ideas of so-called phantom technology

academic from Imperial College London created a chart by way of periodic table that includes Ron 100 disruptive technologies.
Organized them from those that already exist or will be a reality within a few years, until some that they called “phantom technologies”.
6 new technological concepts that you need to know to understand the future “It is science and technology aside,” define these futurists. “It is highly unlikely, but not impossible technology.”
This means that, for now, there is no way of calculating how and when would become reality, although it is true that there are companies working in them, whether in a theoretical way, by now.
The periodic table of Imperial College London has 100 disruptive technologies in BBC News select five of these technologies ghost, that perhaps we never see, but become a reality, they will create a very different world to which we now know it.
1 mutant matter the easiest way to understand this concept is to imagine a kind of “electronic clay”, or as a hologram that you can touch.
“A new arms race”: what are the Hypersonic weapons and competition among China, United States and Russia to develop them first engineers working to make possible one day combine robotics, nanotechnology and design to create information in three dimensions.
“Our goal is to give you a tangible and interactive way to information,” says the website of the research group of programmable matter of Carnegie Mellon University.
“The idea is that the senses of the user experience indistinguishable from reality digital environments.”
2. the zero point energy according to physics, absolute zero (-273 °) is the temperature to which all molecules stop moving.
10 inventions patented in the U.S. that changed life to millions of people around the world the zero point energy, however, is a concept in quantum mechanics which says that even at absolute zero molecules retain a vibrational energy. I.e., the zero point energy is the energy that survives even when all other energies of a system are no longer present.
The zero point energy would be a source of power almost ilimitadaEsto means that even in space vacuum, there are particles that fluctuate due to energy-conserving. Thus, in theory we could harness energy generated space.
If someday we can take advantage of the fluctuations that occur in the “gap”, we will have access to a super powerful and practically inexhaustible energy source.
7 crazy inventions (although some are curiously bright) NASA has made progress in this field, but still it is a development that is far from putting into practice.
3 fields of force invisible shields are a classic of science fiction movies, but for now we will not see them in real life.
Fields of force by now only seen in the 2015 Peliculasen, the Boeing Company patented a method to mitigate and repel explosive a bomb, using an electromagnetic arc wave.
The concept proposed by Boeing is not even used in real-world scenarios and does not have the ability to stop bullets or missiles.
4 mining of asteroids according to academics of Imperial College, in the United States there are at least three companies exploring technologies that allow them to extract metals and mineralesde asteroids that ply the space.
Why it is good idea to use aluminum foil to improve your wifi signal according to the Center for studies of objects close to the land of NASA, “seems likely that in the next century, when we begin to colonize the inner Solar system, the metals and minerals KIA RADOs in asteroids will provide the raw materials for the spatial structures”.
The asteroids could be the future of the Mineriay adds that “the comets become stations for interplanetary spaceships”.
For now, to the technology needed to extract those resources from asteroids just there, but NASA calculates that if someday manage to exploit the asteroids that are in the belt between Mars and Jupiter, an industry would open with a value equal to give you USD $100,000 million to every person on Earth.
Are the controversial electric skateboards the future of transportation in big cities?
5 artificial consciousness the term artificial intelligence is already surprising anyone, but for more lists that are machines and robots that today exist, none has what humans would call “soul”.
Is it possible to create a robot with a conscience? In this case, the matter is much more complicated because it is not only a technological challenge, but with implications that lead us to the depths of the philosophy. How would put us agreement to define what is the soul?
Imperial College researchers do not say it directly, but suggest Alphabet, the conglomerate of which he is part Google, could be working on some kind of project related to artificial consciousness.
