Why is play so important to us? http://thinkersbebo.com/Videos/why_play_is_important.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com Science http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3501570 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:43:00 EDT Power stations produce nearly 10 billion tons of CO 2 per year and are the the planet's most concentrated source of greenhouse gases. Global CO2 emissions in 2004 were 27,245,758 thousand metric tons. http://thinkersbebo.com/Articles/pollution_stats.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com environment http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3491215 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:35:00 EDT The biological world has had billions of years to perfect it's systems. It only makes sense that we learn from those tried and true techniques and incorporate them into our own technologies. Biomimicry is an emerging science that mimics some of the adaptations found throughout the natural world and then applies them to the world of human engineering. http://thinkersbebo.com/Videos/biomimcry_video.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com Environment http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3475051 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:11:00 EDT Biomimicry is a revolutionary, emerging science. Biomimicry, like the name suggests, copies or mimics some of the adaptations found throughout the natural world. Among many other things, Biomimicry is giving engineers new, clean, efficient ways of generating electricity. http://thinkersbebo.com/Articles/biomimicry.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com Science http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3471177 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 23:48:00 EDT The age of reliance on our biological adaptations is almost over. Our technology is quickly beginning to merge with the biological. Super human abilities that are often found in movies and comic books are just around the corner. http://thinkersbebo.com/Videos/super_human.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com technology http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3459532 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:40:00 EDT Technology extends our human abilities, and gives us others that would otherwise be impossible. This is a blog like article where I express my opinions on this topic. My hopes and concerns about human biology and technological evolution. http://thinkersbebo.com/Articles/how_i_feel.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com Blog http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3456908 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:05:00 EDT Current solar cell technology typically runs around around 40% efficiency. This needs to be improved, if we are to really begin generating huge amounts of electricity to replace fossil fuel dependency. Inventor Bill Gross is full of new ideas for generating energy efficiently, including improved solar cell technology. http://thinkersbebo.com/Videos/new_energy.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com Science http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3354809 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:50:00 EDT Microbiology holds many secret answers to our civilization's problems. Some of the secret abilities microbes possess can provide us with amazing new insights into the treatment of diseases. Eva Vertes a 19 year old genius, microbiologist, speaks at a TED conference about the future of microbiological medicine. http://thinkersbebo.com/Videos/microbiology_medicine.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com Microbiology http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3308030 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:17:00 EDT Microbiology may be the answer to all of our environmental concerns. Microbiologists are saying there is no limit to how much of our waste (pollution) microbial life could break down into organic (useful) material. Not only that, studies show that bacteria adapt and work with 'teams' of other bacteria and archea to increase their productivity at seemingly exponential rates. For example: "Deinococcus geothermalis" could be used to reduce solvents and heavy metals in radioactive sites. http://thinkersbebo.com/Articles/microbiology_short.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com microbiology http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3285637 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 03:13:00 EDT Natural selection's ability to adapt, take over and eventually transform and control an area is beyond astounding. Organisms have been found to be thriving in the most hostile environments earth has to offer. http://thinkersbebo.com/Articles/understanding_life.htm comments@thinkersbebo.com microbiology http://thinkersbebo.com/email_page.htm http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=3278348 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 15:22:00 EDT
