Among far-out fields to be studied: microcircuitry (e.g., reducing the chassis of a satellite television unit to a few cubic inches) and electroluminescence (e.g., picturing all of a plane's instrument readings on a cockpit window so the pilot will not have to glance away even when landing or taking off).
