Some are basic scientific discoveries, such as those in chaos theory, and others are technological innovations, such as a structural design software program that is used worldwide. Survey respondents also provided the magazine with lists of research projects that hold great promise for the 21st century. We have covered many of those in recent issues. Here, we list these projects and, where available, provide links to Web sites with more information on them. As exhaustive as all this information may sound, there are many more noteworthy research projects not mentioned in this issue.
Space is limited.
Time is tight. Perhaps future issues of Research Horizons can give these projects their due. Now, leaning forward on the 21st century's horizon, patches of blue dot the Georgia Tech sky. Those patches pierce the clouds that try to obstruct our view. We are beginning to see the vast space where our feet must step to bring change.
