It's not exactly light reading, but there's plenty of good news in a report from the National Academy of Engineering. It's a list of the "Grand Challenges" in engineering this century compiled by an array of experts like the genetics researcher J. Craig Ventner and Google's Larry Page. What's encouraging isn't so much the list [...].
