Business Week: Five People Pushing Tech's Boundaries
Business Week has an interesting special report on five people pushing the boundaries of current technology. These people are:
- Ching Tang, who investigated the properties of organic light emitting substances, giving rise to OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes)
- Sheila Kennedy, an architect looking into moulding flexible light displays (based on OLEDs) into structures
- Vic Hayes, one of the pioneers of wireless technology, leading to the current 802.11 wireless standards (Wi-Fi)
- Jeff Pulver, one of original people who is pushing for VoIP (voice over IP) technologies
- Yoseph Bar-Cohen, a scientist investigating the properties of materials that change shape, leading to the creation of artificial muscles
Pretty interesting stuff.
