Cover Story
- HOT TECHNOLOGIES
In the last issue of each year, we look into hot technologies-cutting-edge concepts that may be a little outside our usual coverage areas, but which are so cool we just can't resist exploring them. This year, we delve into microfluidics, digital-audio broadcasting, and motion-capture systems for animation.
