...Situated at the center of Harvard’s scientific campus in Cambridge, the LISE building lies mostly underground, with a wall of glass that allows natural light to permeate the lower floors. In order to maintain the original walkways in the area, the upper portion of the building rests atop three enormous columns. LISE also preserves the lawn of the Music Building, under which now lies the cleanroom—an advanced, temperature-controlled dust-free environment that is one of the building’s most important scientific resources...
...Because nanoscale imaging is also very sensitive to vibration, the building incorporates special architecture that isolates the imaging labs from local disturbances, such as the T rumbling underground...
...yesterday’s workshop, students came up with a variety of solutions for border control, ranging from proposals to eliminate all cars within the Old City to constructing an underground structure that would handle all exiting visitors...
...Amriansyah explains that there are thousands of punks in the country. "Through an underground network of fanzines, record trading, the growth of independent distribution outlets and the power of the Internet," he says, "the scene is widely spreading to every region in Indonesia."

With calloused bare feet and PUNK tattooed on his fingers, he survives by playing his ukulele on buses for money. "Punks...
...take carbon emissions out of our energy system. Part of the answer will be akin to the smokestack scrubbers. Engineers have shown that it is possible to capture the carbon dioxide before it is emitted from a coal-fired power plant, and to transport it to long-term underground storage, in a process known as "carbon capture and sequestration." They've also dramatically reduced the costs of non-fossil-fuel electricity from wind, solar power and geothermal power, with further savings achievable based on experience and more research and development. France and other countries have also demonstrated that nuclear power...
