Red Bull Danny MacAskill's Imaginate. Would we give up burgers to stop climate change? In case you missed the news, humanity spent the Earth Day week reaching another sad milestone in the history of catastrophic climate change: For the first time, measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surpassed 400 parts per million, aka way above what our current ecosystem can handle.
Actually, you probably did miss the news because most major media outlets didn’t cover it in a serious way, if at all. Instead, they and their audiences evidently view such information as far less news-, buzz- and tweet-worthy than (among other things) the opening of George W. Bush’s library and President Obama’s jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Such an appetite for distraction, no doubt, comes from both those who deny the problem of climate change and those who acknowledge the crisis but nonetheless look away from what feels like an unsolvable mess.

For generations they have signified femininity and glamour - but a pair of high heels was once an essential accessory for men.
Beautiful, provocative, sexy - high heels may be all these things and more, but even their most ardent fans wouldn't claim they were practical. They're no good for hiking or driving.

Researchers at MIT have discovered a new state of matter with a new kind of magnetism.
This new state, called a quantum spin liquid (QSL), could lead to significant advances in data storage. QSLs also exhibit a quantum phenomenon called long-range entanglement, which could lead to new types of communications systems, and more. Generally, when we talk about magnetism’s role in the realm of technology, there are just two types: Ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. Ferromagnetism has been known about for centuries, and is the underlying force behind your compass’s spinning needle or the permanent bar magnets you played with at school. Why there's a "b" in the word "doubt" It's a really relative claim. If one is talking about grammar, English is definitely more complicated than say, the Romance languages, with all it's irregular verbs and alternate pronunciations. Orthographically, it can't really be argued that English is at all intuitive or simple.

Our most powerful 21st-century technologies - robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech - are threatening to make humans an endangered species. From the moment I became involved in the creation of new technologies, their ethical dimensions have concerned me, but it was only in the autumn of 1998 that I became anxiously aware of how great are the dangers facing us in the 21st century.
I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things. Ray and I were both speakers at George Gilder's Telecosm conference, and I encountered him by chance in the bar of the hotel after both our sessions were over.
How NASA might build its very first warp drive. I want to see this work as much as anyone else on io9, but every time I read an article on warp drive, I expend so much mental energy trying to wrap my head around the concept that my entire left hand side goes numb.
Somewhere along the line my understanding of concepts such as the nature of Spacetime is deficient. Here's the problem. How space-based solar power will solve all our energy needs. Yes.
But lets get real here. No nation state would want to interfere with it's own power supply (hopefully they would be linked) and no terrorist is going to launch shit into space and hit an orbiting target. Wait? What now?
How Do I Pick the Right Lens (or Lenses) for My DSLR? You should mention that, for Canon anyway, some lenses are designed to only work with crop-frame cameras (EF-S lenses) and won't be compatible if you upgrade to full frame.
Conversely, traditional (EF) lenses will work on crop and full frame. The EF-S lenses tend to cost less, probably because you don't have to worry as much about edge effects since the sensor won't pick it up anyway. But those EF-S lenses won't follow you to a nicer body if you ever upgrade. Other than the kit EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5, I have a Canon EF 28mm f/1.8. I use a Canon EOS60D, which is crop frame, so that 28mm resolves out to just shy of 45mm, or very lose to a "standard" focal length. Lego Dirtbike. Books on Posters. 8 Easy Steps To Better EQ.
Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+.
This tutorial was first published in December 2008. Knowing how to use an equalizer is a fundamental skill for anyone working with audio, yet it is one of the most abused. Effects Chain Order. No guitar setup is complete without some toys... you know, effects!
When you listen to bands like The Mars Volta, Sonic Youth, or maybe Radiohead, perhaps you say, "Wow, awesome sound. It must require a lot of effects to make a sound like that! " You probably ask yourself, "How can I get a guitar sound like that? " You don't need a lot of money. FYI: What's The Lightest Metal On Earth? The lighter a structure launching into air, the better.
That's one of the reasons why ostriches can't fly--because their bones are solid instead of hollow. It's also one of the reasons why researchers at HRL Laboratories created the lightest metal known to man. The researchers collaborated with scientists at Caltech and UC Irvine to design metallic microlattice, a mesh lighter than styrofoam, for aerospace structural components. The material is so light, it can sit atop a dandelion without crushing it. Why Living Cells Are The Future Of Data Processing. Not all computers are made of silicon. By definition, a computer is anything that processes data, performs calculations, or uses so-called logic gates to turn inputs (for example, 1s and 0s in binary code) into outputs. And now, a small international community of scientists is working to expand the realm of computers to include cells, animals, and other living organisms.
Some of their experiments are highly theoretical; others represent the first steps toward usable biological computers. All are attempts to make life perform work now done by chips and circuit boards.
