List of emerging technologies

This is a list of emerging technologies, which are <a href="/facts/Emerging_technologies/9Aoq6j9S">in-development technical innovations</a> that have significant potential in their applications. The criteria for this list is that the technology must:

<ol><li>Exist in some way; purely <a href="/facts/Hypothetical_technology/vSd2SIAD">hypothetical technologies</a> cannot be considered emerging and should be covered in the <a href="/facts/List_of_hypothetical_technologies/K6Pn7Edy">list of hypothetical technologies</a> instead. However, technologies being actively researched and prototyped are acceptable.</li>
<li>Have a Wikipedia article or adjacent citation covering them.</li>
<li>Not be widely used yet. Mainstream or extensively commercialized technologies can no longer be considered emerging.</li></ol>
Listing here is not a prediction that the technology will become widely adopted, only a recognition of significant potential to become widely adopted or highly useful if ongoing work continues, is successful, and the work is not overtaken by other technologies.
