NASA's newest space telescope will be in orbit by the year 2016. It is designed to unravel energy signatures unseen by current space telescope technology and find more secrets lying hidden in the vastness of space. Here's a look at what the new space telescope can do.

NASA is now running the world's first quantum computer which could possibly change the way our tech works. The space agency will first develop computing protocols that will establish the technology as an accurate, extremely eficient way of using electonic computing power before commercial applications are spinned off. 5 years from now, expect the windfall to be amazing.
