It means the latest and greatest. The newest and most advanced. It's used mainly in scientific and technological contexts.
There are two other terms that you could use that mean the same thing: "cutting-edge" and "bleeding-edge". The latter term is a play on the former that further emphasises the newness of whatever it is that you're describing.

DanyooActually bleeding-edge is a play on leading-edge...I think.Hah, you're right. From [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_edge]Wikipedia[/url]:
The term is formed as an allusion to "leading edge" and its synonym

An order I set
"bleeding-edge" > "cutting edge" (state-of-the-art)> "leading edge"
"bleeding-edge" > "cutting edge" (state-of-the-art)> "leading edge"

It's not referring to risk - it's referring to it being so cutting edge that it you could cut yourself and bleed on its sharpness.
