List of hypothetical technologies

Hypothetical technologies are technologies that do not exist yet, but that could exist in the future.[1] They are distinct from emerging technologies, which have achieved some developmental success. Emerging technologies as of 2018 include 3-D metal printing and artificial embryos.[2] Many hypothetical technologies have been the subject of science fiction.

The criteria for this list are that the technology:

  1. Must not exist yet
  2. If the technology does not have an existing article (i.e. it is "redlinked"), a reference must be provided for it

Biology edit

Engineering and manufacturing edit

Computing and robotics edit
