Star Trek is Now

It’s no small wonder that Star Trek has informed much of our technological landscape. One needs look no further than their own flip mobile phone for a practical manifestation of what used be considered sci-fi effect wizardry. Nelly, from Morlock Enterprises, tracked down a post of the top 10 real life technologies inspired by Star Trek.
My favorites are MIT’s tractor beam which uses light to pick up and move cells on the face of a microchip and the Air Force’s transparent aluminum. Say it with me!
“Admiral! There be whales here!”
Thanks again, Nelly.
