Exploring the impossible……

Do you have an idea that can ignite a new dimension in a particular field of technology or act as a valuable addition to a conventional practice?? Have you ever analyzed a process or a machine and arrived at a significant conclusion regarding its performance, not yet known to the scientific fraternity???
