Computers on a chip. Many, many materials, including, I believe, Kevlar and aluminized plastic (Space Blanket survival material). Extensive research was done into fireproofing, food preservation and preparation. The first calculator was a "four banger" made especially for Apollo, because nowhere else in the world had them! Miniaturized radar (think "grandpa microwave oven"!). Extensive engineering breakthroughs in remotely controlled valves and other gear. Avionics. Fuel cells. Space pens! Miniature TV cameras the size of a shoebox, rather than the size of a trunk, using much less power. Motors the size of a washing machine that could outperform a locomotive. Corrosion proofing. Insulation. Epoxies for both glue and heat shielding. The first "walkman" size cassette player (see "Apollo 13" for this one! Superreliable... just about everything! Improved electric motors, like the four that ran the tires on the Rover. I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot, but that is a start.
