Bugs in the Climate System
By Scott Michael Slone
To those of you who use computers, you can understand the issues that can sometimes be caused by them. Faulty hardware, operating system issues, programs not working, drivers not installed properly, the list goes on and on. The average user has no end to the issues they could have, with many being very subtle and tricky to solve. A recent bug has been revealed in Climate modeling systems that will need to be handled if any model is going to have credibility, and there’s no tech support you can call when your model for a climate system doesn’t start.

Recently, the potent cocktail of science and baseball in the news has been negative—referring mostly to illegal pharmaceuticals. We at the Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) are bringing the study of physics to America’s pastime, for a doubleheader of sorts at US Cellular Field.
Printing a Future
By Scott Michael Slone
You hear it humming and whirring, probably right next to you. It’s a small device that somehow takes your words and images and makes physical copies of them, all day long, and never stopping. It’s obviously your printer, but there’s a device coming around that would fit that description just the same, and yet has a much grander use. At the moment it exists as massive and expensive facilities, or centers and companies devoted to its use. It’s called nanofabrication, and researchers at Northwestern University are making it happen.
