These are looking promising:

William Chueh: Pulling hydrogen out of water with the help of concentrated sunlight and an inexpensive material

Prashant Jain: Tuning nanocrystals to make tinier, more efficient switches for optical computing and solar panels

Shannon Miller: Making engines super-efficient by getting them to run at extremely high pressures

Bozhi Tian: Artificial tissue that can monitor and improve health down to the level of individual cells

Zheng Wang: Slowing light to help chips cope with optical data
