A cap is a point set in affine or projective space without any three points on any line. We will discuss the current state of the art, and give an exponential improvement for the size of caps of AG(n, p), which one can think of as (Z/pZ)^n, and PG(n,p). For certain primes, 5,11,17,23,29 and 41, we improve the asymptotic growth of these caps, for example, when p=23 from (8.091...)^n to (9-o(1))^n, as n tends to infinity.
