Upgrading Medical Technology For The Future
After a visit to the doctor, computer sciences student Flavia Oprea noticed that many diseases have “loss of balance” as a common symptom, which led her to a simple conclusion: early discovery and treatment of this symptom would allow us to avoid complications and maybe even disease altogether. Thus, she created ENTy, a simple device that helps doctors perform balance tests easily and comfortably, while also sending anonymous data that allow us to track diseases in various categories of people and discover them #aheadoftime Meet a student with a knack for business development and innovative start-ups. Flavia Oprea leads team ENTy, an innovative med-tech start-up aiming to empower doctors to issue…

Privacy, Control & the Darknet
Out of the periphery of most online users, there’s a vast, hidden space used by people who want to remain anonymous, which filmmaker Alex Winter explores in his documentary Deep Web. The film focuses on the Silk Road, a black market hosted on the Darknet using bitcoin cryptocurrency, and the trial of Ross Ulbricht, who was given a double life sentence without the possibility of parole for creating and hosting the site. Abby Martin and Alex Winter discuss more about the Deep Web, the Drug War, and why encryption on things like signal still matter in light of the Wikileaks’ Vault 7 release. https://videosenglish.telesurtv.net/v… Guest AuthorAll Guest Author Posts are…

The Truth About D-Wave Quantum Computers And Artificial Intelligence
D Wave Computers are basically about the same as classical binary-system computers, performance wise. However, Quantum Computing is a force to be reckoned with, particularly if/when an A.I. were to take the steering wheel…. In this video, I tried to put together helpful info that clarifies how quantum computing works, and points out the fatal flaws in D-Wave Systems, which need gigantic freezers to even work at all. Let me know if I was unclear on any points–I’m happy to answer questions asked by polite folks who, like me, are seeking answers to what is happening around us. Here are links to the videos featured in this presentation: D Wave…

No Heat? No Problem: Ultrasonic Dryer
Department of Energy We spend $9 billion each year powering our clothes dryers. That’s a lot of money and energy (up to 4% of America’s residential energy use) we’re wasting. But scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are about to change all that – and the way that you do laundry. They recently developed an ultrasonic drying concept that uses vibrations instead of heat to dry clothes. This technology is expected to be up to five times more efficient than today’s products and will dry clothes in half the time. In about two years, researchers took this basic science concept and developed it into a full-scale press dryer and clothes…

Energy Department Investment Brings Crescent Dunes To Life
Department of Energy The same visionary scientists responsible for pioneering space exploration are also behind a national effort to commercialize concentrating solar power (CSP) plants with integral energy storage. After years of research, testing, and validating the technology, in late 2015 scientists working on the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project (Crescent Dunes)—a Nevada-based CSP plant—successfully reached commercial operation. The journey to commercialization began nearly three decades ago. Back in the 1990s, a group of scientists at Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne worked with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop breakthrough technology to collect the sun’s thermal energy and then store it in molten salt. From 1994 to 1999, Rocketdyne…

Efficiency Expert Talks Women in the Energy Workforce
A short discussion by Maria Vargas of EERE – Department of Energy that fits our Ladies Monday articles. Department of Energy Maria Vargas has been with the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) since 2011, but she’s been in the federal government for more than 30 years; previously at the Environmental Protection Agency. As a leading woman in energy, she has seen many changes in the efficiency arena and believes saving money on energy efficient buildings is just the beginning. Vargas has seen Americans (both at home and at work) become much more aware – and interested – in energy efficiency. Through the Better Buildings Initiative, …
