10 Breakthrough Technologies Revealed in MIT Technology Review's New
Issue
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, MIT
Technology Review releases its 2013 list of 10 Breakthrough
Technologies. Each year we identify ten technology developments that
mark true milestones. The advances highlighted from the past 12
months all solve thorny problems or create powerful new ways of using
technology. They are breakthroughs that will matter for years to come.
Jason Pontin, publisher and editor in chief, states: "We believe that
technology can help solve really hard problems and that these
solutions will expand human possibilities. To that end, each year we
select the ten technologies we believe have the potential for major
impact - those which could change the world. These technologies are an
expression of our preferences and emphases, and they grow out of our
reporting over the past 12 months. This is the stuff we like."
The May/June issue of MIT Technology Review will be available on
newsstands worldwide May 7 and online at technologyreview.com on April
23.
