"    SOME SAY PROGRESS is now the province of groups, and the days of the lone inventor are over. Maybe so. But inventors will never disappear. The initial flash of an idea is often an individual idea, says Francis S. Collins, head of the National Human Genome Research Institute and World Economic Forum fellow. So brilliant, creative people are crucial. Since the dot-com bust, such types have continued to ply their craft in labs and basements, producing ideas that seem obscure, even loopy, until a closer look reveals their world-shifting import. Here are 10 such individual visions that may change our collective future:
       
       Taste Tricks: A new flavoring may turn us on to broccoli and off salt.
       
       Reinventing the Mouse: Not every rodent is created equal in the weird world of drug labs.
       
       Now You See It: Quantum physics may soon make things much harder for data spies.
       
       Wearing Wires: A new fabric may make clothing both high tech and fashionable.
       
       Space Plane: A hybrid rocket-jet engine may soon lead to ultra-high-speed travel.
       
       To Build a Baby: A quick genetic test is a godsend and a moral dilemma.
       
       Free for All: Open-source software transforms technology in the developing world.
       
       Head Shots: Imaging technology shows what happens when liars lie and patients feel sad.
       
       Waterworks: Kenyan farmers are getting a big boost from a simple piece of equipment.
       
       Sky High: A British scientist may have invented a way to control the clouds."
