University scientists study superconductors
The fastest trains in the world don’t drive. They fly. Japan’s Maglev Shinkansen trains, which have achieved record speeds of up to 361 miles per hour, literally float above their tracks, thanks to powerful superconductors, which scientists believe may also one day be used to revolutionize power transmission and electric car motors. In the two decades since high-temperature superconductivity was discovered, however, scientists have failed to understand the phenomenon thoroughly enough to fully harness its tremendous potential.

Feature Genome exhibition travels to The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California Following a four-month engagement at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego, the high-impact interactive exhibition, Genome: Unlocking Life's Code, is making its second stop in California. The exhibition will open at The Tech Museum of Innovation, in San Jose, on Jan. 22, 2015, where the public will be able to visit it through April 27, 2015. Read more

Einstein's Big Idea
Einstein's Big Idea PBS Airdate: October 11, 2005 NARRATOR: When we think of E = mc2 we have this vision of Einstein as an old wrinkly man with white hair. E = mc2 is not about an old Einstein. It's actually about a young, energetic, dynamic, even a sexy Einstein. ALBERT EINSTEIN: What would I see if I rode on a beam of light?

2007 Nobel Prize in Physics
The 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of a revolutionary quantum mechanical effect that is used to store and retrieve data on hard disk drives in a way not possible before. The prize will be divided equally by Professor Albert Fert from the Paris-Sud University in Orsay France, Professor Peter Grünberg, from the Institute of Solid State Research in Jülich Germany. The two scientists independently and simultaneously discovered a new physical effect called “Giant Magnetoresistance” (GMR), leading to the radical miniaturizing of hard drives in recent years. Data is stored on a hard drives in the form of microscopic ferromagnetic particles which are magnetized in one of two different directions, each corresponds to the binary value 1 or 0. A read-write head scans the disk and registers the magnetic changes according to the current state of the drive. One of the main challenges in this structuring is the density-accuracy tradeoff.

Weird and Wacky Furniture By Straight Line Designs
EmailEmail Straight Line Designs is a one-of-a-kind workshop that has been operating out of Vancouver, British Columbia for the past 25 years. In addition to installations, sculptures and private commissions, designer Judson Beaumont and his staff of eight full-time craftspeople have designed and constructed a variety of wacky cartoon-style furniture and projects for public institutions and children’s exhibitions throughout North America and abroad. Focused on quality and custom design, Judson’s studio stays far away from mass production and is as imaginative as children themselves. Website: StaightLineDesigns.com
