Google announced plans to build experimental ultra high speed broadband networks that would deliver Internet speeds 100 times faster than today.  One gigabit per second speeds would allow to stream 3-D medical imaging over the Web or download a high-definition, full-length movie in few minutes.

Google’s project complements US President Barack Obama’s pledge to bring broadband to every US home as part of the Federal Communications Commission’s National Broadband Plan.

Scientists are looking for the warning signs that herald sudden changes in natural systems, in order to forestall those changes, or improve our preparations for them; UC theoretical ecologist Alan Hastings indicates: Our new study found, unfortunately, that regime shifts with potentially large consequences can happen without warning; systems can ‘tip’ precipitously.

World’s largest and highest energy laser, the National Ignition Facility (NIF),  will begin experiments in 2010 that will focus the energy of 192 giant laser beams on a BB-sized target filled with hydrogen fuel. NIF’s goal is to fuse the hydrogen atoms nuclei and produce net energy gain;  the fusion energy process that makes the stars shine. Read the rest of this entry »

Society and technology evolution indicators appear running, in spite of the driver behind use to be the benefit in the short to medium term, and this is one of the main reasons why technology and society evolution might be interfering basic human nature conditions, and originating after decades, psychological and physical disorders to most of population, depending on development of related politics.

July the 21st 2009,  40 years ago the man landed on the Moon becoming the top from an era of remarkable achievements, as the nuclear power and the electronic computer. We would like to make a tribute to this epic, and overview the next frontiers of space exploring in spite of the slow down of such strategic innovation. Read the rest of this entry »

MIT Sloan leader of  the initiative on Inventing the Organisations of the 21st Century, addresses the mental models that constrain management progress, the view of comprehensive goals for business versus how wrong people are about what business is for, and the role of collective intelligence.

A scientific team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), may be able to remotely find extraterrestrial life, (e.g. from a large telescope or spaceborne instruments), elsewhere in the Universe by looking for left (or right) handed light reflected on its home planet.

We’ve heard that visualisation has the power to help us meet our objectives; in a new study of the Association for Psychological Science, psychologists Christopher Davoli and Richard Abrams from Washington University, shows that the imagination can be really effective in helping us reach our goals.

Researchers from U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center have reported new scientific evidence for the existence of low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process called “cold fusion” that may promise a new source of energy.

The scientists describe the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons, tale signs that nuclear reactions are occurring. Low-energy nuclear reactions could potentially provide 21st Century society a limitless, safe, cheap and clean energy source for generating electricity.
