As a music student in college, Paris Smaragdis taught computers how to play more life-like music. Today, the 2006 TR35 winner teaches them how to listen better. We recently talked with him about how--and why--he made that transition. For Smaragdis, machine listening could provide solutions to all sorts of unexpected problems, from security and building engineering to accident investigation. |

We named Ling Liao, a senior optical researcher in Intel's Photonics Technology Lab, to our 2006 TR35 list for her work to enable the use of standard silicon in complex optical chips. When we caught up with her recently, she spoke to us about why computers may soon require high-speed optical data transmission. She also took the time to explain why ordinary silicon is the best material for the job, despite its optical restrictions, and how her team is overcoming those limitations. |

Over a 24-year career, Roger McNamee has been one of the most successful investors in Silicon Valley, having made venture investments in Electronic Arts, Flextronics, Intuit, and Rambus, among many others. Then, in 2004, he launched Elevation Partners, a private equity partnership focused on media and entertainment content. Following his interview onstage at this week's Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT, he spoke with us about his much-discussed investment in Forbes and how he hopes that technology will liberate entertainment. |

TR35 winner Matthew Herren has a plan for improving education in Africa: beam in textbooks using one-way satellite radio. Technology Review asked him about the status of the project at the Emerging Technology Conference today. Herren explained how he hopes to make the most out of the continent's limited infrastructure resources. |

Stephanie Lacour, a research project manager at the University of Cambridge in England, wants to take flexible electronics to the next level, by making them stretchable. Technology Review caught up with Lacour at the Emerging Technology Conference to ask her about the field's potential. In this video clip, Lacour also notes that the impact of her research might not be limited to biology: advertisers could benefit, too. |

When Bob Metcalfe talks about the future of the Internet, people take note. He invented Ethernet, the international standard for local-area networking. Technology Review caught up with Metcalfe last night at the opening reception for the Emerging Technologies Conference. He told us why he thinks Internet video could have a positive environmental impact by reducing the need to "press the flesh." |

Perio-Imaging Inc. of Delaware was formed in 2004 to launch an ultrasonographic periodontal probe. In this short video clip, the company's vice president and medical director, Fred Lane, describes how the tool works. The company's technology is on display at the Emerging Technologies Conference today and tomorrow. |

Christina Galitsky is Technology Review's 2006 Humanitarian of the Year and one of this year's TR35. The Lawrence Berkeley Lab scientist employs her training in chemical engineering to find solutions to environmental problems in the U.S. and abroad--particularly in poor countries such as Sudan and Bangladesh. She spoke to us recently about how seeing her innovations in action inspires her and what kinds of problems she hopes to work on in the future. Galitsky and the other 2006 TR35 winners will be honored at this year's Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT. |

Technology Review's editors think Joshua Schachter's website, del.icio.us, is so cool, so useful, so ubiquitous that we named this TR35 winner our 2006 Innovator of the Year. Yahoo acquired del.icio.us last December, and the site has continued its phenomenal growth since then. Schachter talked to us late this summer about how his own memory influenced the development of del.icio.us and how it affects the way he innovates. Schachter and the other 2006 TR35 winners will be honored at this year's Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT. |

For Marin Soljacic, a large part of the fun of innovation comes from working in a relatively new field: photonics. A member of this year's TR35, the MIT physicist builds theoretical models of tiny structures called photonic crystals. Recently, he spoke with us about the excitement of working in a field where theory and application are intertwined--and let us in on why he thinks photonic crystals could finally enable optical information-processing to make the transition from theory to practice. |
