And the only language required is intuition. Brad Cathey, WHEATON...
Engineers and environmentalists will watch Solar Impulse with interest, since it offers a rigorous testing platform for extracting maximal power from minimal energy. A recently unveiled prototype, HB-SIA, which will begin flight-testing next year before the larger plane is built for 2011, is a marvel of optimization. Its 200 ft. (61 m) wingspan is covered with photovoltaic cells, which convert the sun's rays into roughly the same amount of energy needed to light a large Christmas tree. That solar power drives four electric engines, and loads four lithium batteries - a quarter of the aircraft's total weight...

...opened Gmail after a computer-less weekend, you are probably one of those academic superstars who are too busy to be reading this column. What are all these vital communications? Most of the nine hundred messages in my inbox are not addressed to me specifically. Their subject lines begin with brackets, indicating that they come from one of the dozen or so organizations to which I, as a Harvard student, am duty-bound to devote my spare time. Some of them are from my classes. Still others are from Facebook. At most one—Widener Library, informing me that...
