45nm — Biggest Change to Transistor in 40 Years

May 22nd, 2010

See the R&D and manufacturing of major innovations to the ever shrinking transistor, the little engine extending Moore’s Law. This video goes inside Intel where teams of scientists and engineers meticulously found a way to make the next generation of transistors smaller and more efficient by adding new materials to silicon. These are the tiny on-off switches that will power new computers in 2007 and beyond. For more on Intel IDF: www.intel.com

How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of 2 basketballs?

May 15th, 2010

Two 0.59 kg basketballs, each with a radius of 12 cm, are just touching.

a) How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of the basketballs to 1.4 m? (Ignore any other gravitational interactions.)

b) How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of the basketballs to 10 m? (Ignore any other gravitational interactions.)

Thank you in advance. This stuff really confuses me.

How do I add energy to my climate change and energy conference?

May 14th, 2010

I am organising a short conference on climate change and energy at work. How best do I ignite people’s interest? Can you think of any interactive elements that I can use? Any ideas (however wild) are welcome.

I also want to minimise the carbon footprint of the event. Can you recommend any caterers that offset their energy expenditure?
Reply to D S – Yes I am a cult leader, but only in my spare time. This conference is being organised in my other capacity as a bureaucrat.

Ideas required – 10 points guaranteed

Forget the change! City transitions into solar-powered parking kiosks that take plastic
You won’t have to worry about digging for spare change anymore when parking downtown, at least in one location. City leaders activated the first solar parking pay station Thursday afternoon across from City Hall. The machines will take coins, credit or debit cards. “Meters have always been quite a hassle for both the city and also for a lot of our citizens. You know, making sure you have change …
