For me the projects/areas I'm most excited about are DRACO a drug that could cure nearly any viral infection as well as Nanotraps another treatment for viral infections.
Algae Oil, I honestly believe thier getting closer to making it majorly commerially viable.
LENR, Low Energy Nucluer Reaction technology.
STAP stem cells, they've recently found a much easier way to create stem cells.
Prostetic arms/legs with a sense of touch.
Cars that drive themselves
Using modified HIV viruses to cure cancer.
Atheer Glasses.
So basically my favourites can be grouped mostly into three areas, miraclious medical research, tech that will offer plentiful green low cost power, and futuristic gadgets.

Cancer and related diseases affect people of all walks of life, and it would be heartening to know that at some point in the future, generations to come will not have the spectre of cancer hanging over their heads like the sword of Damocles.
I just it's this one for now.

theoretical drive? I know the Harold White and his team are researching on Alcubierre/White warp drive as well as another propulsion. Also there is VASIMR and Fusion Drive Rocket being researched.
Tea has cancer fighting properties.
The growing research into how nutrition can be used as medicine, and with that, a greater study and acceptance of medical practice found in other countries. I've read of some great medical techniques employed elsewhere that are frowned upon, or tabled, because they didn't originate in a North American or European research facility. I'm interested in a nutrition-first medicinal approach because my father is now an invalid due to damages from "traditional" medicine side effects.
Second, high-tech ceramic steam engines. It is my understanding that there have been some prototypes that do not need fossil fuels, except perhaps as lubricants, issue no emissions, except water, and can run for periods and power compatible with current diesel and gasoline engines, far greater than current pure electrical engines.
Handshaking with stem cell research, I'm intrigued by the idea of body part regrowth. I don't mean grown in a lab then attached, but getting the body to regrow on its own. This first came to my attention with an article about observations in Britain where children up to 5 years old, who'd lost fingertips in accidents, regrew them under proper conditions. Of course, we naturally grow a second set of teeth a few years after 5. Now they researching alligators, because their tooth structure is similar to our own, and they constantly grow new teeth. It could make dentures a thing of the past.

Does anyone remember when we used to be explorers...
1) Elimination of all long distance power lines. If energy can be transmitted via entanglement, it can go from the power plant directly to a substation with no drop in amperage or voltage, and without any lines that required maintenance or protection. No more worries about terrorists taking out chunks of the country through chokepoints on the grid. No more worries about solar storms causing blackouts. Massive amounts of areas given over to right of ways for transmission lines can be given back.
2) Alternating current can be eliminated altogether, since entanglement will remove the need to convert power to A/C for long range transmission, reducing hardware costs and needs, no more massive transformers, just step down transformers from the substation to the individual neighborhoods.
3) More effective decentralized distribution of power. With range being eliminated as a variable, power can be bought from any power generating utility in the country without need to step through another company's power lines. A disaster on one coast can be aided by power generated on the opposite coast. Geographic proximity is no longer an issue. Wind, solar and geothermal energy can be generated en masse at whatever locale is convenient, and can be sent anywhere without worrying about power lines transiting environmentally sensitive areas, or being reasonably proximate to their end users.
Right now, energy has been transmitted at a range of 88 miles in laboratory testing. If that scale up continues, this is one DARPA should be all over like stink on TRIBBLE.
Came here to say Quantum Teleportation and its uses in data transfer.
You kind of beat me to it.
So after that I'll say NASA's work on communication through their Laser Communication system and the deep space network.

The realist in me is excited about transgenics
The mad scientist in me is excited about nanobots, rail guns and man-made tornados. (seriously, green energy scientists come up with some of the scariest sh*t.)

Why not just combine them to form something truly horrifying. A tornado composed of nanobots and railguns.
which is Quantum Teleporting to cause Cancer?
I was thinking more of a tornado-powered rail gun capable of delivering a payload of all-consuming self-replicating nanoassemblers to any city in North America.

How about an artificial, directed tornado of nanobots that assembles into a railgun when it reaches its target?
We do not need more abortion methods and abortion as a whole needs to be destroyed.
I for one would enjoy seeing more discussion on the OP's thread and would hate to see it degenerate into some blind morality contest.
On that note, they are building in Detroit solar shingles to roof houses. They would be tied right to the house. The homes would still be plugged into the grids but would provide the home with almost 60% of the energy needed on average.
I really would love to see an alternative energy source dethrone oil and gas. Iceland produces all of the energy needs it has through more friendly means than oil and gas.
We could accomplish pretty much the same thing if we turned Yellowstone N.P. into massive geothermal powerplant - of course, if we TRIBBLE up we'd bury the entire Midwest under a meter of volcanic ash...

I agree, there is no point in derailing this thread, antichoice supporters have nothing to say worth hearing anyways. For now lets focus on the topic of the thread.
Another area of interest, is virtual reality research.

The only time there should ever be an abortion is if both the mother and the baby are in fatal danger and the mother has to choose which she wants to survive.
