    Another awesome art form is moss graffiti. How to here: [www.storiesfromspace.co.uk]

    The bacteria that lights up near land mines is pretty cool, I just wonder how they plan on dispersing it. Crop dusters with suspended bacteria in them?

    Figure out how to clean up nuclear waste, and our problems are solved. Well, come up with a cold fusion reactor that is feasable, and then our problems are solved.

    But if we can figure out a way to completely get rid of nuclear waste, the hippes will have no reason anymore to keep America out of the wonderful nuclear energy business...

    @SEDAGIVE?!: we already know how to do a pretty decent job cleaning up nuclear waste: reprocessing.

    unfortunately, america has taken the naive stance of a moratorium on reprocessing for proliferation reasons. there's no reason we can't use reprocessing here in the states without exporting it. plus, enough countries know how to do it know that we're not really stopping anyone from figuring it out by refusing to do it ourselves. and if you ask me, our biggest threat is terrorists and countries like north korea and iran getting ahold of ready-to-use weapons from other countries (former bloc countries, for example).

    and strictly speaking, we don't need cold fusion. hot fusion is just fine, as long as we can get it enough above 100% efficient to make it economical.

    To retrofit our existing LED lights with quantum dots, will we need to hire quantum mechanics?

    Wait, what's so special about the MIT solar car? Other universities have teams that produce almost the same thing.

    @ripfire: No. Solar Challenge cars have been capable of going that fast on a straight road for a couple of years. They are just rarely (if ever) driven to their top speeds. First of all, it drains the battery - the cars are charged in advance, often with supplemental solar panels. Teams aim for an optimal speed of around 50 mph.


    Second, it's extremely dangerous for the drivers, who are students, not professional racers. These cars have no airbags, and lack most of the other safety equipment in most modern vehicles. The driver lies down in the car, like in a luge. Some of the cars do not have pivoting wheels to steer; they are steered by varying the speed on the right and left side, like a tank. This is a car that you do not want to crash at 90 mph in.


    The goals of cars like these is not top speed but rather, sustaining a decent (but lower) cruising speed, energy efficiency and endurance. They are designed for 3000 mile races, not drag strips. You never hear about the top speeds because they are not important to the teams.

    Only problem w/the car? To hit 90mph, you have to be in Death Valley, and this doesn't have AC. On the plus side, it's great for sweating off the lbs, literally!
