OP-Ed
by Tim Rohde
I just finished reading a blog post that compares educational achievement across the globe (read it here). As an American, it initially troubled me, since the main thrust of the discussion was the U.S.&#8217;s failure in math and science education, compared to other countries. One of the points the author focused on was [...]]]></description>

What music would go best with this wine? As incredible as it sounds, the marketing folks at Wente Winery are drawing people to their winery by creating fun events exploring the connection between wine and popular music. These events are quickly turned into audio and video downloads available [...]]]></description>

In order to make great scientific discoveries, it is important to build great experiments. Outside Geneva, Switzerland, the most complex experiment ever built will soon start collecting data, and it is worth asking why scientists are convinced that something new will be found with it. Let&#8217;s look [...]]]></description>

Eco-Fabrics: Balancing Fashion and Ideals
By Susan and Yves Gagnon
The demand for eco-friendly fashions has skyrocketed. When we founded SYKA Textiles, most North American designers were skeptical that the concepts &#8220;fashionable&#8221; and &#8220;eco-friendly&#8221; could coexist. Perish the idea! We&#8217;re not making dungarees. We&#8217;re in the business of fashion! But with initiatives like FutureFashion, leaders in the [...]]]></description>

By Prof. Paul Padley

Electronics works by taking advantage of one of the properties of fundamental particles: electric charge. Particles have many other properties as well, and there is a real possibility that those properties can be harnessed in order to develop new technologies. One such property is called &#8220;spin&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

The &#8220;disposable society&#8221; is taking a well-deserved beating from more and more people these days. The scourge of our environment, our pocketbooks and our souls may be headed, itself, for the dustbin of history. The forces pushing back against the disposable society come from some familiar and some surprising origins. The ecological imperative [...]]]></description>

The Consumption Crisis
By Deborah J. C. Brosdahl
Sustainability requires a long-term outlook that encourages responsible consumption. Fashion, it seems, is fundamentally at odds with this goal. Perhaps apparel can be made sustainably, but fashion? Fashion is more than a product; fashion is a mode of thought. It affects everything from design to purchasing to obsolescence, and [...]]]></description>
