 | Dark Energy, or Worse: Was Einstein Wrong? In this National Science Foundation program, Sean Carroll, a senior research associate at the California Institute of Technology, sheds light into the "dark side" of the universe that may actually be the key to unlocking the mystery that is the universe. The type of matter we're familiar with and encounter everyday - atoms and molecules - only makes up about 5 percent of the universe. The remaining 95 percent is believed to be dark matter and dark energy. Explore the history of dark energy ... |
 | Computer Science: Past, Present and Future Ed Lazowska, professor of computer science engineering at the University of Washington, takes a look back at all that technology has made possible in the last century. Look back and history then jump ahead for a preview of coming developments, from promising advances in personalized medicine and education to a brand-new Internet. |
 | Alcohol: A Women's Health Issue This program by the National Institues of Health features narratives of seven women recovering from problems with alcohol. These stories make it clear that it's possible to miss danger signs and that social drinking can become problem drinking, which in turn can evolve into addiction. Abuse and alcoholism are often perceived as problems that only affect men, but alcoholism has been on the rise among women for the last 30 years. |
 | Building Brains: The Molecular Logic of Neural Circuits Thomas M. Jessel, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, explores the human brain, the sophisticated product of 500 million years of vertebrate evolution, assembled during just nine months of embryonic development. The functions encoded by its trillion nerve cells direct all human behavior. Yet the brain is a biological organ made from the same building blocks as skin, liver and lung. How does the brain acquire its remarkable computational power? Answers lie in the details of its ... |
 | Discovering Fluid Power In this University of Minnesota video, scholars and professionals from all fields and institutions across the nation come together to discuss fluid power. What is fluid power? Where is it used? How will hydraulics and pneumatics be applied in new and transformational ways? Kim Stelson, professor and director at the center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power at the University of Minnesota, leads the panel in a discussion that answers these questions and more through its stunning array of ... |
 | Avoiding the Elephant on Your Chest: Cardiac Risk Heart attacks are often unpredictable. In this informative presentation, Dr. Euan Ashley, assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine at the Stanford University Medical Center, breaks down a heart attack, explaining how it happens, why apparently healthy people can suffer heart attacks and what you can do to prevent an attack. |
 | The Resonance House: Installation to Inhabitation The Resonance House is an on-going project run by University of Kentucky students studying digital design studio under Greg Luhan, professor of architecture at the University of Kentucky. The Resonance House is a design-fabricate-assemble single-family residence located at 151 Old Georgetown Street in downtown Lexington. The students used an art to part approach that allows for digital fabrications of various components of the house. The goal of this approach was to develop a prototype house ... |
 | The Role of Nanotechnology in the Clinical Laboratory Nanotechnology is a term widely used today that describes mans ability to control the manufacture of functional nanosystems, or to deliberately create structures at the nano scale that exhibit unique properties. Dr. Steven C. Kazmierczak provides a basic understanding of the concepts underlying nanotechnology, and describes how materials function differently at the nano level compared with the macro scale. The importance of nanotechnology as it relates to medical technology is the primary ... |
 | Bridges to the Future, Part I: The Smart Grid In this National Science Foundation video, Jerry Beilinson, deputy editor of Popular Mechanics, discusses the future of electrical grids and the implications they have for the safety of the future. In 1940, 10 percent of energy consumption in America was used to produce electricity. That number has now increased to 40 percent. As Americans become increasingly dependent on electricity, what is being done to make the nation's electrical grid more resilient and nimble? |
 | Cancer Stem Cells: The Origin of Cancer Irving Weissman, professor of developmental biology at Stanford University Medical Center, addresses what cancer stem cells are, how they maintain themselves and why they may be resistant to some current treatments. Weissman also talks about the "don't eat me" signal and how it relates to the growth of certain types of cancer cells. Find out how Stanford scientists and clinicians are working to identifying cancer stem cells in many types of tumors and how they have used that information to ... |
