Digital Trends Best of CES 2014 award finalists

When you have more than 3,200 exhibitors packed into 1.92 million square feet of sprawling convention space, picking “the best” of any one thing can be an overwhelming task. But that’s exactly the challenge Digital Trends’ expert editors took on as they tirelessly combed the show floor of CES 2014.

From staples like TVs and smartphones to the booming new market for fitness tech, we agonized over picking up to five products from every category to honor as finalists in the running for our Best of CES awards. And when the sun set down in the Nevada desert on day one of CES, we piled 18 cranky writers in an overstuffed meeting room and made them agree on the five most outstanding products across every category in the show, which will compete for Best in Show.

It wasn’t easy, but we distilled this year’s must-see products into one exclusive list – and it will only get more exclusive as we pick a single winner in every category on Wednesday evening. Who’s in the running? Check out the fierce competition, and make sure to check back for Digital Trends’ Best of CES award winners on Thursday.

Self-powering shaking capsule shows the future of safe drinking water in the palm of our hands
Researchers say their battery-free device can detect contamination and eliminate harmful microbes using motion alone.
Water in Hands from Bottle

Access to safe drinking water remains a challenge for billions of people worldwide, but a new invention from researchers in South Korea could make the process much simpler. A self-powered floating capsule that fits in the palm of a hand can reportedly test water quality and disinfect unsafe water without relying on batteries, external power, or chemical treatments.

A simple shake is all this water purification capsule needs

Thanks to AI, a Chinese startup has figured out the priciest fusion energy bottleneck
Artificial Intelligence

For decades, fusion energy has been the ultimate promise of clean energy. It’s the process that powers the sun, capable of producing enormous amounts of energy without the carbon emissions associated with fossil fuels. Scientists have spent generations trying to recreate it on Earth, convinced that if they can make it work at scale, it could fundamentally reshape the world’s energy future. The problem is that fusion is incredibly difficult, not just from a scientific perspective, but from an economic one. Building and testing experimental reactors costs vast amounts of money, and progress often comes through a frustrating cycle of trial and error. Researchers develop a theory, build hardware to test it, gather data, tweak the design, and repeat the process. Sometimes that cycle takes years. Now, a Chinese startup called VeloAlpha believes artificial intelligence could help break that pattern.

Founded earlier this year by fusion scientist Xie Huasheng, the Beijing-based company is developing FusionAlpha, a simulation platform that lets researchers test fusion reactor designs digitally before committing to expensive physical experiments. It may not sound as exciting as a giant reactor generating limitless clean power. But if VeloAlpha’s technology delivers on its promise, it could end up solving one of fusion’s most expensive and persistent challenges.

3D printed batteries will solve battery anxiety, but not your nightmares
Batteries are finally thinking outside the box, thanks to 3D printing
Smartphone battery

For years, battery innovation has largely focused on chemistry. Companies have chased longer-lasting lithium-ion cells, safer solid-state batteries, and cheaper materials. But a quieter revolution is now gaining momentum, and it could fundamentally change how batteries are designed, manufactured, and integrated into devices.

Instead of improving what goes inside a battery, a growing number of startups and researchers are trying to change the battery itself through 3D printing. The idea is simple yet ambitious: create batteries that can fit into virtually any shape or structure rather than being limited to traditional cylindrical or pouch designs.
