Ok I have to do a research paper for one of my master class and need some ideas. I am doing the paper on new technologies and the applications for space. Currently I have the following topics spray on space suits, the new spray on solar cell and new advances for the space elevator, ion engines ESA new GPS navigational system.
So any ideas and mods if you feel this is more science releated please move then.

If you cover Ion engines then be sure to cover nuclear reactors (as opposed to mere RTG's) in space as well, since for such an engine they are the ideal power source.
