Molecular modeling: we are not talking about assembling old-school, ball-and-stick representations of single atoms or atomic structures but rather the beautifully complex computer renderings of every atom in a living cell; how each atom moves within a molecule, and functions in its environment.
This talk focused on the new measurements being carried out with the 10-meter South Pole Telescope to test theories of the origin of the Universe and to investigate the nature of mysterious dark energy.
Ask the Nobel Prize winning Physicist, Dr. Leon Lederman, anything you want about science, technology, and the physical world!
Spinal cord injuries can cause permanent paralysis and have crippling effects. Recent developments in nanotechnology and stem cell research have shown that nerve fibers in the spinal cord can regenerate.
The dependence on oil and other fossil fuels for over 80% of our energy and the continued emission of carbon dioxide threatening stable climate are captured in a single term: sustainability.
The video captures the Chicago Council on Science and Technology’s work over the past five years and focuses for the future. We hope it inspires generations, and furthers the need for dialogue on science and technology grounded in accurate data, research and scientists. Thank you for viewing!
