Mars rover Curiosity captures 1.3-gigapixel panorama of the Red Planet
2013-06-27 19:59:54| Extremetech
NASA has produced a 1.3-billion-pixel, 360-degree photo of the surface of Mars, as seen by Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity. There's a flat, panoramic version of the image (seen above and embedded below), or, my personal favorite, a cylindrical view (embedded below). The photo clearly shows such Martian celebrities as John Klein (the first drilling of an extraplanetary rock), Yellowknife Bay, and the Bird-Shaped Rock (a favorite of the conspiracy theorists).

Our Overcrowded Planet: Failure of Family Planning
2013-06-24 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Until just a couple weeks ago, the great global food challenge was how to feed 9 billion people in 2050. But no longer -- the number of mid-century mouths just jumped. Now its projected to be 9.6 billion, closing in on double-digit billions. And forget about expectations that world population will stabilize this century: By 2100, according to the latest projections, the number of people on the planet will hit 10.9 billion -- and will still be growing by 10 million a year. These hundreds of millions...

Cut Soot Emissions to Cool the Planet Kevin Bullis

MIT Technology News: Cutting our overall use of fossil fuels has proved a daunting challenge, but it might be possible to get some relief from the effects of climate change by selectively reducing the particulate pollution we produce. Recent research suggests that if we can clean up diesel engines and primitive cookstoves in India and China, for example, that could delay the effects of greenhouse-gas buildup even if pollution from coal-fired power plants persists. A study released last week concludes that if every country...
4 Savings from Intelligent Vehicles: Lives, Planet, Time & Teenagers
2013-06-16 21:50:19| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
Intelligent vehicles is a term used to describe the best in cutting-edge vehicle technologies these days, rooted in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) systems tied to telematics and connected cars. A commentary piece in the Huffington Post lays out four extremely valuable savings gained from the technologies becoming more commonplace in new vehicles. Driver experience and studies are showing that crash avoidance, post-crash emergency response, fuel savings and reduction of stop-and-go traffic, time savings through avoidance of traffic congestion, and a solution to distracted driving are bringing a lot more value and resources to the driving experience. Theres the background theme of robotics versus human control of the car. Autonomous driving and telematics tracking driver behavior can push buttons for a lot of people, but key players in fleets, government safety regulators, and vehicle engineers and designers are carrying more weight on the issue lately. Click here to read more about the technology trends being implemented by automakers, and their impact on public perceptions and safety benefits. The Article 4 Savings from Intelligent Vehicles: Lives, Planet, Time & Teenagers appeared first on Automotive Digest.
