Transporting the Notorious Drug lord to the United States.



The Mexican government has delivered an astonishing snub to Donald Trump by extraditing the notorious drug lord,El Chapo, just hours before the president-elect takes office.El Chapo, whose real name is Joaquin Guzman, touched down in New York at the Long Island MacArthur Airport about 9:30pm.

A caravan of SUVs was waiting for the prisoner when he arrived, and after getting off the plane he was led into a hangar and raced away in the back of one of the cars.After news of the extradition broke, some experts have suggested the extradition was timed purposefully to take place before Trump is sworn in.

Food Production.



Issues like water scarcity and energy storage also play into our final big problem that needs solving: food production.

We may have it good here in America, but there are still millions upon millions of starving and hungry people in the world.

And as the climate changes, and resources become even further strained, growing crops and raising animals for food will become even more difficult if not impossible.

A Pill That Actually Makes One Lose Weight.


Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health.

Unhackable Passwords.



Wired has said 2012 was the year passwords broke.

Hackers have through brute force so far been able to break through practically every firewall ever invented.

There must be a better way. And engineers are working on them.

Cheap Ocean/Sea water Desalination.



Water shortages continue to make the list of the world’s most pressing issues.

The ocean covers about 70% of the earth's surface, there will be more than enough water for consumption if we could find a cheaper and easier way of desalination.

But desalination plants have proven way too expensive and inefficient to build.

The problem is that desalination of water requires a lot of energy.

Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break.

Energy and the technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be pretty costly.
