Honors Tech Report: Future Tech.

This is just an abstract but it has a link to the full file. It describes how atrazine, a common herbicide for corn and soybeans, can be present in cattle, therefore presenting itself in beef. 

An article describing the tolerance of Kentucky plants to herbicides. 

This is just an abstract about a weed common in Kentucky and how it is growing immune to a common ingredient in herbicides called glyphosphate.

Discusses what 3D printing is, the different types/methods of 3D printing, applications for 3D printing, and 3D printer vendors. A good place to get an understanding of 3D printing and a good place to look for specific areas of research.

Look at the sources the wiki article references that are listed at the bottom and suggestions for further reading to broaden your research set.

Thought this might be interesting if you haven't seen it yet. http://tek-bull.com/2012/02/scientists-created-a-machine-for-printing-houses-on-the-moon/

The article discusses regeneration and the history of its research. There is more information on the dedifferentiation process and it even approaches the ethical issues of engineering regenerative abilities in human beings.

It's all been very interesting while researching it. In response to Zack, I also didn't know how close they were to achieving this before I started this report. And to Val, it is a tad bit frightening to think what it could mean for the future, but I'm actually a little more scared of your topic, believe it or not!

Also, in case you wanted to see another route for regeneration: http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/rethinking-healthcare/veterans-leg-muscle-regenerated-with-pig-bladder-hormones/5312 http://news.softpedia.com/news/Finger-Regenerated-Using-Pig-Bladder-Extract-84827.shtml Who would've thought, huh?

This is an article explaining the history of sonic weaponry. It also gives a fair amount of detail about the pros and cons if sonic weaponry became common and the ethics of producing such a weapon.

Discusses Zero emission hypersonic transport (zehds) concept presented at Paris airshow

Nice. The article is easy to understand. Seems like a tall order though, having three types of engines with no emissions.

Discusses the the topics of Boeing's Dr. Kevin Bowcutt's lecture on hypersonic flight. Since bowcutt will be coming to riddle on Tuesday, this article is a good source to use in order to come up with questions for him ahead of time that relate to his presentation.

A feasibility study done by NASA on the aerospace plane program (hypersonic flight)

Discusses a new rocket plane concept that could be utilized by 2050

Boeing is working with commercial airlines to transition the prototype X-48 from military purposes to freight purposes.

A site for a renowned futurism organization. Discusses many future technologies and the likelihood of their utilization.

This article is about the design of a blended wing body aircraft.

NASA is also involved with the Phantom Works X-48. This site mostly has the news releases from NASA about the X-48.

Phantom Works is the division of Boeing that develops prototypes. The blended wing body prototype designed by phantom works is the X-48.

Popular Science has a lot of information about future and emerging technology. The articles range from things about gadgets to new military technologies.

"Explaining The Future" is a site that explains technologies, current usage, and future potential. The site can be used for many technologies, trends, challenges, and thoughts/mindsets.

This is a great resource for you and your colleagues. Interesting and up to date!

This site is a chart of 3D printers below $20,000. It shows the manufacturer, model, method, price, annual service cost, size & weight, build envelope, materials, material costs, speed, accuracy, finish of the final product, strengths, and weaknesses.

With this kind of detailed information, you may consider a slightly different kind of feasibility report which is context specific. For example you may consider the feasibility of ERAU's DB campus acquiring such an item? You could consider need/usability and cost.
