1. The Ares 1
Why: This is the suitable aircraft for generation next. Less wight but more powerful engines. It will give some extra opportunity to control itself by computer. It may launch in 2015, like the Apollo 11 with 4 astronauts. Probably, it is going to a most powerful space ship for future. So we need to wait some years to justify the words of NASA.

Metal has no DNA; machines have no genes. But that doesn't mean they don't have pedigrees — ancestral lines every bit as elaborate as our own. That's surely the case with the Ares 1 rocket. The best and smartest and coolest thing built in 2009 — a machine that can launch human beings to cosmic destinations we'd never considered before — is the fruit of a very old family tree, one with branches grand, historic and even wicked.

2. Controller-Free Gaming
Game! Game! Game! Yo...the coolest technology of gaming....
Why: To play a game what you need? Generally a controller with ugly cords, trackball, mouse, light gun or whatever. Now, if I say to play modern warfare no need any joystick or mouse...will you get a hurt attack? Haha yes, this technology can detect commands from directly from your body movement and voice commands. So...whats up???
.........................quote......................
This year Microsoft demonstrated a technology, code-named Project Natal, that enables players to control games using only body movements and voice commands, no controller required — the gamer's body becomes the controller. Project Natal uses several cameras, plus a highly specialized microphone and a lot of fancy software, to track the gamer's body and interpret his or her voice. You move your hand, and the Master Chief (or whoever) moves his hand. It's that simple. And that cool.

3. Teleportation
OMG! Are you thinking safi is goning to mad?? Nope. Thats real now.
Why: This is another step on the stair of human teleportation and quantum technology.This technology now just works for metal not human.
......................quote.................
Inching our reality ever closer to Star Trek's, scientists at the University of Maryland's Joint Quantum Institute successfully teleported data from one atom to another in a container a meter away. A landmark in the brain-bending field known as quantum information processing, the experiment doesn't quite have the cool factor of body transportation; one atom merely transforms the other so it acts just like the original. Still, atom-to-atom teleportation has major implications for creating super-secure, ultra-fast computers.

4. The Eyeborg
Why: Today, a electric equipment going to be a part of human body and a human body going to be a part of a electric equipment.
Imagine you have lost your one or both eyes. So sad! But will you not see the wonderful earth? Never can watch a movie of games bond or a drama of Mr. Bean? Nope. You will must see. This technology will replace your damaged eye with a electric eye which will work freequently with your brain to see you the "see". Thanks the science.Now robo-human is true.
................quote...............
Rob Spence, a 37-year-old Canadian filmmaker, sustained permanent damage to his right eye when he was 9. Fast-forward to 2009, when Rob's quest to regain vision in his right eye takes an unusual spin. With the help of Kosta Grammatis, John Polanski, Martin Ling, Phil Bowen and camera provider OmniVision, he is attempting to replace his prosthetic eye with a battery-powered, wireless video camera, thereby making himself into an "Eyeborg," with the power to record exactly what he's looking at as digital video.

5. The AIDS Vaccine
Why: ....................quote......................
A vaccine is not exactly a novel invention, but one that's designed to fight HIV certainly is. More than 20 years after the AIDS virus was identified, researchers have devised the first immunization to protect people against HIV infection. A six-year trial showed that the vaccine, which consists of two shots that given individually had failed to protect against HIV, is modestly effective, reducing infection 31% among those receiving the regimen vs. those getting a placebo. Scientists are still trying to figure out how the vaccine decreases infection risk, since the shots did not affect the level of virus in the blood of volunteers. And some experts question whether the small effect is indeed significant. The vaccine is not approved for use yet, but it's the first to make any headway against HIV, and that's a start.
........................./quote,..............................
6.The Robo-Penguin
Why: It will be so use to research in deep in sea. It is highly flexible. It can move self control.
.................quote..............
Penguins may be ungainly on land, but they're speedy swimmers and expert divers. That agility inspired scientists at Festo's Bionic Learning Network to develop the AquaPenguin, an Adélie-size self-navigating bot that "flies" underwater just like the real birds. Highly flexible, it can maneuver in cramped spaces and turn on a dime.
..................../quote...................
7. Tweeting by Thinking
Why: Hey, can anything more cool than it? Just think which you want to tweet then this machine will automatically tweet that. OMG! I can see a clear image that everyone posting thousands of status in a day.....
.................quote...................
Plenty of people's Twitter feeds appear to be connected directly to their egos, but one scientist's is actually wired to his brain. In April, University of Wisconsin doctoral student Adam Wilson — working with adviser Justin Williams, above — tweeted 23 characters just by thinking. He focused his attention on one flashing letter after another on a computer screen while wearing a cap outfitted with electrodes that monitored changes in his brain activity to figure out which character he wanted.
......................./quote...............
8. The Mercury Probe
Why: If you ask me who is the son of sun? I will answre the Mercury. It is one reason why NASA can not go to visit it. But this technology is showing us the way to go....view the review.
..............quote...............
But Messenger — the space agency's new Mercury ship — can take the heat. Having just completed a flyby a mere 141 miles (228 km) above the planet's surface, it's preparing to enter Mercury's orbit in 2011. The probe will survey parts of the world never before seen — and will do so in comfort. Covered in an insulating ceramic skin, it will endure temperatures of 700°F (370°C) on its exterior; inside, it will operate at a room-temperature 70°F (20°C).
...................../quote..................
9. YouTube Funk
http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2009/50_best_inventions/inventions_youtube_funk.jpg
Why: When we watching the live streaming of lon then sometime camera showing us lon's face, sometime his macbook and somtimes mike or jason's face. We can not look the three items in a screen. But this technology will give you this opportunity. View the image.
.................quote...............
It took Kutiman just two months to finish ThruYOU, the project that would make him both a musical pioneer and an Internet celebrity. Kutiman — a.k.a. Ophir Kutiel, an Israeli musician — took footage posted on YouTube by amateur musicians and mixed it together (drums, piano, synth, theremin, vocals, whatever he could find) into video jams of amazing funkiness, in the process creating an all-new art form that combines DJing, video montage and found art. Some of the players are just goofing around. Some aren't even very good. What makes it work is the performers' unjaded enthusiasm, the hypnotic effect of the looped samples and the sheer serendipitous grooviness that brings it all together as if it were meant to be.
........................./quote..................
10.The School of One
Why: ...............quote................
This past summer, in a sixth-grade math class, New York City schools chancellor Joel Klein piloted a small program in which individualized, technology-based learning takes the place of the old "let's all proceed together" approach. Each day, students in the School of One are given a unique lesson plan — a "daily playlist" — tailored to their learning style and rate of progress that includes a mix of virtual tutoring, in-class instruction and educational video games. It's learning for the Xbox generation.
............................quote...................
Really it is too hard to choose only 10....because all are really coolllll invention during the 2009.

An invention is a new composition, device, or process. Some inventions are based on pre-existing models or ideas and others are radical breakthroughs. Inventions can extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience.
It's always great to see new technology doing something for the betterment of humanity.......................................................
1) The Eyeborg:-
The amazing part about this “Eyeborg” is you can put the eye on and talking with your family members, friends or even strangers. The thing is, they won’t know that the eye is an artificial intelligent eye, where it has a tiny wireless video camera in it. You can use it to record every movement of everything you see in front of you.
By using this magnificent Eyeborg, you can use it for recording a documentary.

3) NASA's Ares Rockets:-
The Ares 1 ‘has lightweight composites, better engines and exponentially improved computers giving it more reliability and power.’ Possibly by 2015, it will launch an ‘Apollo-like spacecraft with four crew members.’
On the other hand, the Brobdingnagian Ares V rocket that NASA is also developing at the moment is ‘a 380-ft. (116 m) behemoth intended to put such heavy equipment as a lunar lander in Earth orbit, where astronauts can link up with it before blasting away to the moon.’
Metal has no DNA; machines have no genes. But that doesn't mean they don't have pedigrees — ancestral lines every bit as elaborate as our own. That's surely the case with the Ares 1 rocket.

4) Quantum Teleportation:-
Teleportation may be nature's most mysterious form of transport: Quantum information, such as the spin of a particle or the polarization of a photon, is transferred from one place to another, without traveling through any physical medium. It has previously been achieved between photons over very large distances, between photons and ensembles of atoms, and between two nearby atoms through the intermediary action of a third. None of those, however, provides a feasible means of holding and managing quantum information over long distances.

AIDS vaccine protects people. Effective AIDS vaccine could save millions of lives.Vaccines either help to prevent infection, or help to prevent or delay illness in people who are already infected. A vaccine is not the same thing as a cure for AIDS.
Effective vaccines have already been developed for some diseases, such as smallpox, polio and tetanus, and these have saved millions of lives. But there is still no vaccine against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

The Mercury Probe is an electrical probing device to make rapid, non-destructive contact to a sample for electrical characterization. Its primary application is semiconductor measurements where time-consuming metallizations or photolithographic processing are required to make contact to a sample. These processing steps usually take hours and have to be avoided where possible to reduce device processing times.

Metal has no DNA; machines have no genes. But that doesn't mean they
don't have pedigrees — ancestral lines every bit as elaborate as our
own. That's surely the case with the Ares 1 rocket. The best and
smartest and coolest thing built in 2009 — a machine that can launch
human beings to cosmic destinations we'd never considered before — is
the fruit of a very old family tree, one with branches grand, historic
and even wicked.
There are a lot of reasons astronauts haven't moved beyond the
harbor lights of low-Earth orbit in nearly 40 years, but one of them is
that we haven't had the machines to take us anywhere else. The space
shuttle is a flying truck: fine for the lunch-bucket work of hauling
cargo a couple of hundred miles into space, but nothing more. In 2004,
however, the U.S. committed itself to sending astronauts back to the
moon and later to Mars, and for that, you need something new and nifty
for them to fly. The answer is the Ares 1, which had its first unmanned
flight on Oct. 28 and dazzled even the skeptics.
From a distance, the rocket is unprepossessing — a slender
white stalk that looks almost as if it would twang in the Florida wind.
But up close, it's huge: about 327 ft. (100 m) tall, or the biggest
thing the U.S. has launched since the 363-ft. (111 m) Saturn V moon
rockets of the early 1970s. Its first stage is a souped-up version of
one of the shuttle's solid-fuel rockets; its top stage is a similarly
muscled-up model of the Saturn's massive J2 engines.
If that general body plan doesn't exactly break ground, that's
the point. NASA tried breaking ground with the shuttles and in doing so
broke all the rules. Shuttle astronauts sit alongside the fuel — next
to the exploding motor that claimed Challenger, beneath the chunks of
falling foam that killed Columbia. And when you fly a spacecraft
repeatedly as opposed to chucking it after a single use, there's a lot
of wear to repair.
When NASA engineers gathered to plan the next generation of
America's rockets, they thus decided to go back to the future — way
back. The Saturn V was the brainchild of Wernher von Braun, the German
scientist whose bright genius gave the U.S. its finest line of rockets
— and whose dark genius gave Hitler the V2 missile that rained terror
on London. Von Braun had, in turn, drawn insights from American rocket
pioneer Robert Goddard. Goddard built on the work of 17th century
artillery innovator Kazimierz Siemienowicz, a Pole.
The Ares 1 is a worthy descendant of their rockets and others,
with lightweight composites, better engines and exponentially improved
computers giving it more reliability and power. The Ares 1 will launch
an Apollo-like spacecraft with four crew members — perhaps by 2015.
Alongside it, NASA is developing the Brobdingnagian Ares V, a 380-ft.
(116 m) behemoth intended to put such heavy equipment as a lunar lander
in Earth orbit, where astronauts can link up with it before blasting
away to the moon. Somewhere between the two rockets is the so-called
Ares Lite — a heavy-lift hybrid that could carry both humans and cargo
and is intended to be a design that engineers can have in their back
pockets if the two-booster plan proves unaffordable.
The new rockets could take astronauts to some thrilling places.
The biggest costs — and risks — associated with visiting other
celestial bodies are from landing and taking off again. But suppose you
don't land? An independent commission appointed by the White House to
make recommendations for NASA's future recently returned its 154-page
report and made strong arguments for bypassing the familiar
boots-in-the-soil scenario in favor of a flexible path of flybys and
orbits.
Under the new thinking, astronauts could barnstorm or circle
the moon, Mars and Mars' twin moons, deploying probes to do their
rock-collecting and experiments for them. They could similarly sample
near-Earth objects like asteroids. They could also travel to what is
known as the Lagrange points — a scattering of spots between Earth and
the moon and Earth and the sun where the gravitational forces on the
bodies are precisely balanced and spacecraft simply ... hang where they
are. These would serve as ideal spots for deploying probes and
conducting cosmic observations.
Troublingly for Ares partisans, the same commission that called
for such creative uses for the new rockets also called into question
how affordable they are, arguing that it might be better simply to
modify boosters now used to carry satellites and put a capsule on top.
Maybe — but there's the question of safety too. NASA designers say the
Ares line will be 10 times as safe as the shuttle and two to three
times as safe as competing boosters.
There's no way of knowing if those projections are too rosy,
but if history teaches us anything, it's that the space program's
grimmest chapters — the launchpad fires and shuttle disasters — unfold
when policy planners lean too hard on engineers. The finest moments
occur when the bureaucrats give the designers a clean sheet of drafting
paper and let them dream. There's genius in knowing how to create a
truly big invention — and there's wisdom in knowing how to recognize it
and use it.

2.The Tank-Bred Tuna
At 8:47 a.m. on March 12, fish history happened in Port Lincoln,
Australia. A tankful of southern bluefin tuna — regal, predatory fish
prized for their buttery sashimi meat — began to spawn, and they didn't
stop for more than a month. "People said, 'It can't be done, it can't
be done,'" says Hagen Stehr, founder of Clean Seas, the Australian
company that operates the breeding facility. "Now we've done it."
Scientists believe the breeding population of the highly migratory
southern bluefin has probably plummeted more than 90% since the 1950s.
Others have gotten Pacific bluefin to spawn and grow in ocean cages,
but by coaxing the notoriously fussy southern bluefin to breed in
landlocked tanks, Clean Seas may finally have given the future of
bluefin aquaculture legs. (Or at least a tail.)

3.The $10 Million Lightbulb
With the flick of a switch, Philips Electronics may have just
dramatically lowered America's electric bill. In September the Dutch
electronics giant became the first to enter the U.S. Department of
Energy's L Prize competition, which seeks an LED alternative to the
common 60-watt bulb. Sixty-watt lights account for 50% of the domestic
incandescent market; if they were replaced by LED bulbs, the U.S. could
save enough electricity per year to light 17.4 million households. If
Philips wins the L Prize, it will claim a cash award and federal
purchasing agreements worth about $10 million.
Philips' LED bulb emits the same amount of light as its
incandescent equivalent but uses less than 10 watts and lasts for
25,000 hours — or 25 times as long

4.The Smart Thermostat
A couple of years ago, Seth Frader-Thompson was driving a Prius.
Priuses have little screens on the dashboard that tell you what gas
mileage you're getting, in real time, as you drive. It crossed
Frader-Thompson's mind that houses should have something similar. So he
built the EnergyHub Dashboard, a little device, with a screen, that can
talk wirelessly to your furnace and your various appliances and let you
know exactly how much electricity (or gas) each one is using and how
much it's costing you. It can also turn appliances on and off and raise
or lower the temperature in your house so you can rein in the real
power hogs. EnergyHub is currently partnering with utilities for trials
and will be available direct to consumers in early 2010.

5.Controller-Free Gaming
Since time immemorial — or at least since Pong — one barrier that has stood between gamers and total Tron-like
immersion in their video games has been the controller: the joystick,
trackball, mouse, light gun or whatever. This year Microsoft
demonstrated a technology, code-named Project Natal, that enables
players to control games using only body movements and voice commands,
no controller required — the gamer's body becomes the controller.
Project Natal uses several cameras, plus a highly specialized
microphone and a lot of fancy software, to track the gamer's body and
interpret his or her voice. You move your hand, and the Master Chief
(or whoever) moves his hand. It's that simple. And that cool.

6.Teleportation
Inching our reality ever closer to Star Trek's, scientists at
the University of Maryland's Joint Quantum Institute successfully
teleported data from one atom to another in a container a meter away. A
landmark in the brain-bending field known as quantum information
processing, the experiment doesn't quite have the cool factor of body
transportation; one atom merely transforms the other so it acts just
like the original. Still, atom-to-atom teleportation has major
implications for creating super-secure, ultra-fast computers.

7.The Telescope for Invisible Stars
It's no secret that space is cold. But in some places, it's so
frigid that light can't radiate in the visible spectrum, which makes
celestial bodies invisible. Now the Herschel Space Observatory is
exposing them. Launched in May by the European Space Agency, Herschel
scans the skies in the infrared spectrum. In order to avoid infrared
interference and temperature fluctuations from Earth, it hovers in
space at the second Lagrange point, about 930,000 miles (1.5 million
km) away, where the gravity of the Earth and sun balance out. Herschel
will operate for at least three years, during which it will watch stars
and planets being born, revealing more about how the universe came to
be.
Herschel is equipped with a mirror 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) in
diameter, the largest ever built for use in space. The spacecraft
itself is nearly 25 ft. (7.5 m) tall

9.Tweeting by Thinking
Plenty of people's Twitter feeds appear to be connected directly to
their egos, but one scientist's is actually wired to his brain. In
April, University of Wisconsin doctoral student Adam Wilson — working
with adviser Justin Williams, above — tweeted 23 characters just by
thinking. He focused his attention on one flashing letter after another
on a computer screen while wearing a cap outfitted with electrodes that
monitored changes in his brain activity to figure out which character
he wanted. His efforts spelled out "USING EEG TO SEND TWEET," among
other messages. The feat marks a major step forward in establishing
communication for people with "locked in" syndrome, which paralyzes the
body, except for the eyes, but leaves the mind alert. For now, though,
it's slow going: with the speediest brain tweeters reportedly managing
just eight characters a minute, it's a good thing they're limited to
140.

10.The Electric Eye
MIT researchers are developing a microchip that could help blind people
regain partial eyesight. Though it won't completely restore normal
vision, it will enable a blind person to recognize faces and navigate a
room without assistance. The chip, which is encased in titanium to
prevent water damage, will be implanted onto a patient's eyeball. The
patient will then wear a pair of eyeglasses equipped with a tiny camera
that transmits images directly to the chip, which in turn sends them to
the brain. With any luck, human trials are only a few years away.
