Doraemon
Here are some of his tools:
Takekoputa: small propellers
When people put them on their heads, they can fly freely. It seems that the structure of the propeller is very simple, but is not well known. Using a propeller, you can fly 600 kikometers at 80 kilometers per hour, like flying from Tokyo to Osaka in seven and a half hours.
Taimu-mashin: the time machine
Doraemon and his friends can use the door to go into the future or the past. They can even decide when and where they will go. However, they don't always end up where they planned. The entrance and exit to the time machine is in Nobita's desk.
Dokodemo-doa: everywhere door
If they open this door and say the name of the place they wish to go, they will go there as they pass through it. But the door looks like an old weak wooden door , once it was even thrown out with the trash. But it is so convenient, I am sure modern businessmen/women would love to have one.
Small Light
It looks like a flashlight. They flash the light at someone or something to make them small. Usually the light is used to defeat enemies. The light has limited range so it is not always useful.
Taimu-furoshiki: Time wrapping cloth
It looks like an ordinary wrapping cloth, but has great power. It has two sides, but its effect depends on which side you touch things with. On one side any item you touch the cloth to will become newer, and the other side will make an object older. If you put the wrapping cloth on persons, they will become younger or older only in their appearance.
Sewayaki-roupu: the helping rope
It can change itself to anything. It may stroke Nobita's head, pay newpaper bills, be a horse, fly in the sky as an airplane or be an umbrella when it's rainy. The only thing that it can't do is speak. It communicates its with sign language.
Moshimo-bokkus: The "if" box
It just looks like a telephone box (booth). If they say "***** world, please" to the receiver and exit the box, the world changes to what they said. The world ends when they say "Please go back" to the box. So they can't go back when the box is broken.
Mad Watch
If they use the watch, only they can move while time stops for everything/everyone else.
Here are some tools in Doraemon's pocket that are not as useful as those shown above:
Sasuto-amegafuru-kasa: raining umbrella
If they open the umbrella, it rains only under the umbrella. This can be useful when you need it to rain.
Kenka-tebukuro: the fight gloves
They are similar to boxing gloves. If you wear them, you begin to strike your own face and fight wth yourself.

Printable Sensors for Cell Phones and Other Devices?
ScienceDaily (Mar. 31, 2010) — The cellphone is switched off but immediately springs into action at the point of a finger. It is not necessary to touch the display. This touchless control is made possible by a polymer sensor affixed to the cellphone which, like human skin, reacts to the tiniest fluctuations in temperature and differences in pressure and recognizes the finger as it approaches.
The sensor recognizes the finger's heat signal without being touched. (Credit: Copyright image/Joanneum Research Forschungsgesellschaft mbH)

Chemists Create Self-assembling Conductive Rubber
Polymer chemists have created a flexible, indestructible material, called metal rubber, that can be heated, frozen, washed or doused with jet fuel, and still retain its electricity-conducting properties. To make metal rubber, chemists and engineers use a process called self-assembly. The material is repeatedly dipped into positively charged and negatively charged solutions. The positive and negative charges bond, forming layers that conduct electricity. Uses of metal rubber include bendy, electrically charged aircraft wings, artificial muscles and wearable computers.

Making Car fuel and Plastic from carbon dioxide
ScienceDaily (Mar. 29, 2010) — Researchers from the South West are working on a £1.4 million project that could take carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into car fuel.
The project aims to develop porous materials that can absorb the gas that causes global warming and convert it into chemicals that can be used to make car fuel or plastics in a process powered by renewable solar energy.
The researchers hope that in the future the porous materials could be used to line factory chimneys to take carbon dioxide pollutants from the air, reducing the effects of climate change.
