I heard that it is possible to create a drug addiction vaccine to help users kick the habit. The vaccine will be a combination of cocaine like chemical and an inactive cold virus. It will bind to the cocaine in the bloodstream and prevent it from reaching the brain.

I want scientists to discover a substance effecting powerfully on the biological clock. Eventually, this substance could be used to help workers on the night shift or frequent travelers better tolerate the variances in their schedules.

My idea is to create smart glasses. The eyeglasses will automatically adapt the wearer's head position, adjusting their focus as needed. There will be an LCD-like layer in the glass that can change structure when excited by an electrical current, adjusting the focus. The frames will have a built in accelerometer that can detect movement, such as lowering the head to read. What is more, the glasses are supposed to have both manual and automatic modes.

My idea is to create a sleeping mask which not only blocks out the light but also wakes the wearer with a programmable sunrise. Sounds really cool :) An LED substrate sewn into the inside of the mask will make the magic happen. It will begin its glow about a half hour before the user chosen waking time.

I suggest a quick, simple idea to remove body hair temporarily with no trouble. You prepare a bath of hot water and add a couple of drops of a special hair removal bath-gel which activates hair removal. Once the bathtub is full, you lie in the tub and soak from neck to toes. After 10 minutes or so you go to the shower and easily remove your body hair with a sponge. This is a great way for the hairy men and women to get rid of body hair quickly.

My idea is to create a service which will provide elderly people with extra conveniences for living in their houses, i.e. suggest design changes to make their life easier. For example, kitchens could have contrasting worktops to improve visual orientation; mixer taps are recommended to have one handle; there could be extra handrails in a bathroom as well as a seat in a shower, etc. Highly skilled specialists will inspect the house and advice many design ideas for you to make your...

Injections of nanoparticles were proved to be effective while revealing blood clots location. The developed particles contain bismuth, which is actually a toxic heavy metal. The nanoparticles are rendered harmless by use of a compound that prevents the bismuth atoms from running loose in the body. Another molecule added to the nanoparticles' surface is attracted to fibrin, a particle found only in blood clots. The molecule draws the particles to the clots, where the bismuth shows...

The idea is to develop a method of spinning starch in fibers, which will lead to inexpensive paper products and biodegradable bandages. Starch is the cheapest and most abundant of the polymers, but becomes a thick paste when it contacts water. To counteract this effect, it is possible to add a solvent to the starch to enable it to be dissolved in a fluid without losing its molecular structure. An electrospinning device will overcome surface tension and allow the starch to be...

The new bandage will warn users if it detects an infection in the wound. The bandage features a dressing cover that is sensitive to any pH changes in the wound that would signify an infection. If it does detect an infection--indicated by a pH level between 6.5 and 8.5--a cross-shaped indicator on the top of the bandage will turn purple. The bandages are made of a material with a leather-like feel, come in a variety of colors, and are packaged with Braille instructions.

The idea is to develop a non-invasive device able to monitor brain temperature. This will lead to better treatment and diagnosis of brain injuries. The device will be able to measure brain temperature by sitting on top of the patient's head. The small, poker sized chip will detect the microwaves produced by the brain that pass through the skull, delivering readings quickly and easily.
