When an HBS alumnus requested last year that some students conduct a feasibility study on solar panel systems, he wasn’t asking for one to actually be built at Harvard...
Harvard’s first solar energy system now sits on the roof of Shad Hall, the athletic facility at HBS, and recently, the 36,480 Watt installation was put into operation...
Diodes in the solar panels capture the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which are converted to standard AC power without generating unwanted by-products like greenhouse gases. According to the fall 2003 Harvard Green Campus Initiative newsletter, the benefits of Harvard’s new solar panel system extend beyond its ability to produce “clean” power...
...Netherlands that invests private and public money in subSaharan health, telecom and education, awarded NetImpact a $125 million contract to install MDS 200, a portable disease-detection device, and NetCare 7.0, a software package that stores and analyzes medical data. MDS 200, which can run on battery or solar power in areas without electricity, instantly screens for viruses like HIV and Ebola in blood or water samples. Test results are routed to NetCare 7.0, which also lets clinicians quickly peruse system-recommended treatments. NetImpact will start equipping Malian hospitals with labs and computers early next year...
...spacecraft from Russia as a model for Shenzhou'sairframe, plus life-support systems and a single pressurized space suit. The Shenzhou bears a resemblance to the Soyuz, but with substantial Chinese modifications. In a clear advance over the Soyuz, the Shenzhou III employed a forward orbital module with a solar panel that remained in space. Future flights could one day dock with the module to form a cheap space lab. Most experts say China deserves the credit for its program. "If someone sells you instructions to make a car and you build it, it's yours," says Joan Johnson-Freese...
