This is a blog about what is new and cool in science and technology. It is, by design, short on text, so you can quickly see what interests you. If you want more details, you can click on the links.
I don't know about you, but I've got to buy this when it comes out. The cover will flash "the 21st Century Begins Now." for about 90 days. It will be so cool when this is commonplace. Full Story (Via Technovelgy)
Slowing atoms down 10 billionths of a degree above absolute zero (-459.67 °F) is allowing scientists to begin seeing how quantum computers can be made. Full Story (Via Live Science) More Info
By using dyes on glass MIT scientists have a way to channel photons to the edges of the glass, collecting light that would otherwise be lost. This process makes regular solar cells generate 10 times more power. Full Story & Video (Via National Science Foundation)
This is an interesting way to get methane for use as fuel. Every cow producing from 800-1000 liters (25-35 cubic feet) of emissions every day! Full Story (Via Inhabitat)
It is great that the 2010 Olympics will build green housing, but even better will be the use of that housing after the Olympics is over. I especially like the idea of using hydronics. Full Story (Via Inhabitat)
