Cambridge eventually finished in 17:49, Oxford in 17:52, breaking Oxford’s two-year winning streak and bringing Cambridge’s lead in the series overall to 79 over Oxford’s 73, with one dead heat...
There was discussion at last night’s event of using “hot rock” technology to generate steam for the science labs. Geothermal energy would be used to heat water, creating steam. The technology is widely used in Europe and in parts of the American West, but hasn’t been tested on the East Coast, Werminghausen said...
...extra innings behind a complete-game effort from Steven Miller, while Shawn Haviland led Harvard to a 6-3 victory in the second matchup. But neither team seemed close to last spring’s championship form, and, in the frigid temperatures, neither team seemed able to really heat up. The weather made for a tough day in the field for both teams, as the doubleheader featured a combined 10 errors. The Crimson also came out cold at the plate, perhaps due to its week away from live pitching—its midweek game against Holy Cross was postponed twice...
...join the University of California at Santa Barbara and last year won the $1.3 million Millennium Technology Prize for his work on LEDs. He is now researching zero-energy-loss LEDs, which would be close to 100% efficient. Today even the best LEDs lose some energy to heat. Many scientists feel LEDs are already approaching the limit of their efficiency, but it wouldn't be the first time Nakamura has defied the odds...
...IPCC expects climate change to bring "increased deaths, disease and injury due to heat waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts," with most of the pain being borne by the poor, tropical countries already on the edge of environmental disaster. In Africa by 2020, between 75 and 250 million people are expected to suffer from increased water shortages resulting from climate change, and attempting to adapt could consume as much as 10% of the GDP of African nations. In poorly nourished Central and South Asia, crop yields could decrease 30% by 2050. "The poorest of the poor are going...
