“Here are the most  important discoveries of the past 25 years, in chronological order:

• Quantum teleportation (1992)
• The creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensate (1995)
• The  accelerating expansion of the universe (1997)
• Experimental proof that neutrinos have mass (1998)
• The sighting of the Higgs boson at Cern (2012)

Here five future discoveries that could change the world:

• Hadron  therapy – targeting tumors with miniature, table-top particle  accelerators.
• Quantum computing
• Graphene – for electronics and super-strong  materials.
• Nanoscopic “superlenses” using evanescent light.
• Power on the go – kinetic  energy harvesting using triboelectrics.”
