Maybe it’s truer and more useful to marvel at how we very nearly destroyed ourselves after discovering an unstable new energy source, then figured our way out of it.

So as semiconductor manufacturing has moved offshore, the number of people in this country who actually know how to operate those tools, who have the tacit knowledge has declined as well.
I think the more transparent that the world gets, enabled largely by technology, the more important it is that you are what you appear to be.
The Universe has always been ready for us. Are we finally ready for it? “Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson In only a […]
What do you know about fracking, the process of injecting water and sand and chemicals under high pressure into deep rock, cracking the rock open and allowing recovery of […]
No matter what industry you’re in, your company can’t survive without technology. From smart phones and tablets to mobile apps and cloud-based technology, there’s a plethora of technological advancements to […]
Coca-Cola is by no means the first company to ignore inconvenient animal behavior facts, so we shouldn’t be too hard on them. To Coke’s credit, they do support polar bear research and conservation efforts.
Scientists have succeeded in creating conditions that cause photons, which don’t have mass, to behave like molecules, which do. The interactions between them resemble those that might happen with two lightsabers, and could help advance quantum computing.
Shortly after being hired by Equinox Fitness in 2004, the manager at one New York City club called a meeting for movement instructors of every discipline. Gathered one afternoon in […]
Washed out by the full Moon on any other night, the lunar eclipse makes this one visible tonight! “All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become […]
Steve Case points out that some things, like media, have changed a lot since the first Internet revolution. And yet, there are many, many more industries that have not changed all that much, and are ripe for disruption.
William McDonough’s most profound concept is “Harvest of Value,” the basic notion that everything is a resource for something else. Simply put, waste equals food – the waste of one system becomes food for another.
Guest post by Todd Hurst Crossposted at: http://www.tmhurst.net/the-building-tension-of-education/ I had the opportunity to be part of a statewide STEM meeting recently in which one of the presenters discussed a school project […]
After billions of years of “torturous evolution,” an intelligent civilization might finally come about, only to “snuff themselves out in an instant of unforgivable neglect.”
Scientists at two universities have come up with a method of targeted drug delivery involving self-powered nanoparticles that are drawn by ionic energy released by the bone’s minerals.
Accelerating technological change will define how efficiently we use energy, not how much. The accelerating change of technology we use commercially and personally is dramatically increasing the global demand for […]
Like the rest of the country, feminism has undergone one percent-ification. The most discussed books on women’s lives speak to privileged women while usually assuming, if only by default, to […]
This week Harvard University unveiled a database of 2.3 million carbon-based materials, including over 35,000 out of which some could eventually match silicon’s energy conversion ability.
Cree’s version is the first to pass California standards for performance and cost and, hopefully, the average consumer’s standards for appearance.
If you’re stuck at your job, there’s so many different options. For instance, you can turn your passion into a new position.
This month, Securing America’s Future Energy announced its inaugural “Energy Security Prize” competition for emerging and advanced technologies with the ability to significantly reduce America’s dependence on oil.
The planned replacement of the city’s famous gas-powered streetlamps with more efficient LED versions is being met with swift objections from locals as well as the World Monument Fund, which put them on its watch list this month.
One spritz of Sprayable Energy onto the skin delivers the caffeine equivalent of a quarter-cup’s worth of coffee. Developers Ben Yu and Deven Soni say they want to pitch it to people who are trying to regulate their intake.
Energy becomes literally the fuel that allows us to fulfill almost all of our dreams and what I point out to people is we do have a squanderable abundance of energy. It happens to be sunlight.
We ultimately need to change the global conversation from one of people complaining about problems to a mindset of solving them.
Where is the Collaborative Economy heading and what value will it bring to business, brands and customers of the future?
The future of humanity depends on it. “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach […]
University of Washington researchers hope to create a battery-free Internet of Things by developing communication devices that transmit data with the help of existing ambient electromagnetic energy.
It’s a scientific truth of the Universe, one that many people — children especially — have trouble coming to terms with. But it doesn’t have to be a tragedy. “Through that last dark cloud is […]
An engineer has developed a process that will produce ammonia more cleanly and possibly in enough amounts to provide an alternative energy source.
