"...Now the foundation behind the prize is expanding its remit, planning prizes for a whole series of science and technology breakthroughs, described as “the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century”. None have yet been laid down, and the foundation is asking for suggestions from the public.
To get you started, their website offers a few ideas, ranging from “a cure for cancer or other major diseases” to “artificial intelligence, teleportation, molecular assemblers (true nanotechnology), cold fusion, or a believable virtual reality system.”
