...your PC at the end of a working day. That may cut electricity wastage, but what about the rest of the environmental mess that comes with using a computer? The energy-intensive process of refining and molding plastic means that your computer monitor alone is responsible for a cloud of emissions. And when you eventually toss that monitor on the scrap pile, it'll take years to break down and will likely leak a pool of chemical nasties into the ground. But computing doesn't have to cost the earth...
...illuminate the massive ceiling/canopy. Fashion Week attendees replenish not at a canteen but at the Moët & Chandon champagne deck and a Lotus-sponsored complimentary bar. Heading to our first of five runway shows, we muscle our way to the front on the line, overpowered by the sudden cloud of arrogance and impatience from the other reporters and fashionistas.After standing in line for 30 minutes, we finally make it inside the tent. Our first show is a collection from Harvard alum John P. Bartlett ’85 in “The Salon...
...stop a pulse of light in one part of space and make it reappear two tenths of a millimeter away, according to researchers at the University’s Hau Laboratory. Led by Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Lene V. Hau, the experiment involved firing lasers through two clouds of sodium atoms cooled to a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero. At such cold temperatures the atoms’ motions are virtually halted, and they begin to behave more like waves than particles. Featured in the Feb. 8 issue of Nature, the study showed that once a laser pulse...
...squash team’s 2007 schedule—a 5-4 setback last Wednesday against perennial powerhouse Trinity—the focus shifted towards the team’s next preseason goal of winning the Ivy League crown. But an injury on Saturday left a dark cloud over the Crimson’s title chances entering a road tilt Princeton on Sunday, and the Tigers took advantage, ruining an otherwise clean Harvard conference slate for the second year in a row. Now, the team’s most immediate goal is the league’s finale at home...
...past strategies and international manipulations of radio—such as Radio Radcliffe and Radio Universidad in Oaxaca—to re-orient themselves to radio’s possibilities. And in Minot, North Dakota, the failure of corporate radio stations to alert the public about an impending toxic cloud (really, we don’t make this up) made the need for local control over Emergency Alert Systems all too obvious.So please—tune in, turn on and don’t drop out. Radio has shown itself to be a resilient media force that just won?...
