Southern Nevada is becoming a hotbed of technological innovation.

One group of local inventors has drawn up plans for an electric-powered plane. Another cluster of creators drafted designs for an ecofriendly public bus. Still others have created video games. Some of the technologies are novel and patentable, with potential uses in broader industries.
