Harvard`s Black Silicon: 100 to 500 Times More Powerful Than Old Solar Cells

Kept in secret until yesterday, a newly appeared company, named SiOnyx, unveils an invention of some Harvard researchers, that is going to revolutionize the whole industry. Harvard has been studying their “black silicon” for almost ten years, but nothing has come out of their lab, due to internal policies regarding the output of their discoveries to commercial companies.Now, SiOnyx has the exclusive rights to commercialize the invention.

Astronomers Discover Huge Comet Hurtling Towards Us

The Mayan Apocalypse nutcases will pass out when they learn that two Russian astronomers have discovered a new and gigantic comet coming in our direction—a huge two-mile wide ball of ice and rock that "may [become] one of the brightest in history." The comet is now passing by Saturn, gaining speed and becoming brighter by the day.

Juan Enriquez: Will our kids be a different species?

Throughout human evolution, multiple versions of humans co-existed. Could we be mid-upgrade now? At TEDxSummit, Juan Enriquez sweeps across time and space to bring us to the present moment -- and shows how technology is revealing evidence that suggests rapid evolution may be under way.

A Papaya Mandala: The Implicate Order

Often when I see things like this I am reminded that this order arose by chance, not the blind chance that we usually think of when we use the word chance, but something far deeper and more profound. When I was studying engineering in college, every semester we had to take some form of Calculus and Differential Equations. As we got into our other courses: Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Circuit Analysis, etc. two things became obvious to me. One was that the development of these branches of mathematics were actually older than the disciplines that made use of them. These equations were developed entirely in the abstract by mathematicians who did not have a thought as to there being a practical application for these equations. The second thing was that in various applications as different as a tuned circuit in an electronic application, the springs and shocks of an automobile and the stress on a beam, the same type equations would describe what was happening.
