...Cincinnati, Ohio (an arts center); Innsbruck, Austria (a café-topped ski jump, which opened last month); Abu Dhabi (a sinuous bridge); and, biggest of all, Singapore, where her team drew up the master plan for a high-tech city on a 200-hectare site, a sort of Singapore Silicon Valley scheduled to take 20 years and something like $15 billion to complete. The diversity of her projects springs from Hadid's ability to marry florid form to nuts-and-bolts function, as in the Leipzig car plant for BMW: Hadid has designed the building around its product. "The entire...
Having your own business is the dream of millions of Americans, and Michael Ross realized his when he and a partner launched a film-production company in New York City in 1999. Michael, now 39, was not raking in a six-figure salary like his ecounterparts in nearby Silicon Alley, but his income was comfortable enough so that his wife Cindy Cordes, 31, could stay home with their daughter Ella, 4, and the couple could afford to send Ella to a $7,000-a-year private preschool, have regular dates at nice restaurants and take advantage of the booming market...
Harvard may pioneer a new Silicon-Valley in Boston one day, but until then, I’ll settle for an online study card filing system here in Cambridge. As much fun as it is to bubble in the numbers, I can live without the perennial rush for signatures. E-mail tag and sprints to emergency office hours were not the kinds of student-faculty interaction I had in mind when I chose starred seminars from the Courses of Instruction...
...switched off and back on. The tubes remain linked until separated by a countercurrent, so their memory is retained. And these chips have other advantages. Schmergel says that within three years, Nantero can bring to market chips with NRAM that can store 10 times as much data as a silicon chip the same size while operating faster and with less heat. "They're not saying much publicly about their approach," says Steven Glapa, president of the nano-consulting firm In Realis, "but what they're promising sounds pretty breathtaking...
...turning a profit. It sold $200,000 worth of made-to-order nanotubes in 2001 and is on track to more than double that amount this year. Last week HP researchers unveiled a way of manufacturing molecular-scale circuitry that will be cheaper and use less power than current silicon chips and have the potential to store entire libraries of information...
