For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods

    Regrowing / regenerating certain body parts.

    This could theoretically be done with stemcell stuff, but it’s not there yet. However, when we finally reach the point where we can infinitely regenerate our body cells, we’ll become effectively “ammortal”; unable to die due to natural causes (such as illness), but we will still die from other people (for example, a bullet to the head)

    Besides that, I think nuclear fusion would be an incredible development if we can finally harness it to power our homes.

    Realistic Batteries. It’s holding back a LOT of things. A lot of technologies are solved, but just require power.

    Semi-Realistic Room Temperature Super-Conductor.

    If that can be solved, the power density and efficiencies would just be astronomical… It would absolutely destroy multi-billion industries overnight.

    Way-Out-There-Stuff If they ever prove out an actual functional EmDrive-like thruster, that would absolutely open up space travel to our species.
