3 Teleporting

1 Invisible objects

Teleporting is moving something from one place to another by reducing it to atoms and putting it back together again almost instantly. Teleporting is a very fast way to travel, but scientists haven't discovered how to do it. Solid objects are made of atoms, and with teleporting you have to move each atom one by one. A human being is made of trillions of atoms, so scientists don't know how to do it yet.

Many scientists have tried to invent invisible objects, but they haven't done it yet. One scientist at Tokyo University put cameras on a coat. The cameras filmed objects behind the coat and showed them on the front. Unfortunately, the coat wasn't very comfortable! The car manufacturer Mercedes Benz also tried this with a car. They put the camera on one side of the car and showed the images on the other side. But as you can see in the photo, the wheels aren't invisible.

4 Robot servants

Scientists have already invented robots, so why don't we all have one? Probably because the technology is very expensive and the robots often break down. But many companies in Japan have made prototype robots for homes. They wash colthes, turn on the TV, turn off the lights, and change the music. Many scientists think we can all have a robot servant in our home in about ten years.

2 Flying car

With all the cars on the road and the traffic problems, why don't we have flying cars? One reason is that cars are very heavy. Also, cities have roads for cars, but they don't have runways. And we have so many problems on our roads, do we really want them in the sky?

Scientists have discovered and invented many things: computers, space travel, mobile communications. But there are a lot more things they haven't invented — or have, but we don't use them in our everyday life.
