We make a stand for schoolchildren. The life of the stand is a year or two, so do not offer the release of the next iPod;) Long-lived news is desirable ... Something popular scientifically.

And what sites should you look for?

I would like to advise the news about the transit of Venus, but I don’t think that it will be relevant for a long time ...

Physics and chemistry:
* The speed of neutrinos is higher than the speed of light - do not forget to focus on possible errors
* Printing semiconductor circuits on paper (ala with an ordinary inkjet printer), they have been talking about this since 2002, there is no retail at all
Opportunities:
* Holographic monitor
www. membrana.ru/particle/3499 (however the project was not rotten, almost the same results were in 2007)
* 3D printers (of all stripes, including molecular assembly)
* Robotics (modern achievements in the construction of androids, running, systems of muscular power-ups), here is a robot bird (wing-flap flight like a real bird)

* Space, ion drive (not an innovation but a big improvement)

Look at what Dean Kamen is doing - just not a segway, this is nonsense, but serious things - prostheses, walking things and water purification. I attended his presentation and was extremely impressed - these are the real things that technology should do, and not “our smartphone is much smarter than a hundred previous models.”

Dragon flight to the ISS and press release from Planetary Resources . Gives a good idea of the prospects in space in a few years.
