The co-founder of Kayak.com explains why he prefers to hire travel industry virgins rather than people with more targeted experience. You have a position to fill and a bunch of resumes to look at. What's the first thing you scan for

A hot mobile app that gets attention does not a company make.

(PhysOrg.com) -- The National Academies in the United States, made up of the four organizations: the National Academies of Science and Engineering, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council, has issued an interim report in the National Academies Press, advocating that additional research be put into studying alternative technologies for imploding fuel used in fusion reactions.

Here's why your marketing team and your sales team can't get along. Hint: The sales team is probably right. The war between Sales and Marketing is both legendary and debilitating.

The latest tactic in the tech talent hunt: Get your techies to blog about how smart they are. On July 21, Filip Mares sparked a small uproar in the blogosphere with the following posting: "In order to query the post from memory, we bind a click event function to retrieve the contents for the < l i > id in question," he asserted.

The all-new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 represents the pinnacle of Italian design, dynamism, and passion from the raging bull brand of Sant’Agata. But for those who feel the car’s projected production run of roughly 4,000 is just too commonplace for a true collector, Robert G

If you can't describe your own products without resorting to marketingspeak, you're losing sales. Here are 3 mistakes to avoid. Most product descriptions suck, especially when they’re written by marketing people who have never sold anything.

A team at Stanford's School of Engineering has demonstrated an ultrafast nanoscale light emitting diode (LED) that is orders of magnitude lower in power consumption than today's laser-based systems and able to transmit data at 10 billion bits per second.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Engineering researchers at the University of Toronto have developed the world's most efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on plastic. This result enables a flexible form factor, not to mention a less costly, alternative to traditional OLED manufacturing, which currently relies on rigid glass.

Exploiting a novel technique called phase discontinuity, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have induced light rays to behave in a way that defies the centuries-old laws of reflection and refraction.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are seen as a promising replacement for the liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) used in many flat-screen televisions because they are cheaper to mass-produce. Zhikuan Chen at the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering and co-workers have now shown how meticulous engineering of fluorescent molecules can dramatically increase OLED efficiency.

Etsy's CTO, Chad Dickerson, is taking the lead role at the online handmade and vintage marketplace from its 30-year-old founder.

Solar panels give you clean energy, yes, but it turns out that's not all. Just by putting them on the roof, you'll start saving cash on your cooling and heating bills. Installing photovoltaic solar cells is a great way to easily tap into an environmentally-sustainable energy source, and in sunnier parts of the world it's even feasible to use them to actually make money by selling power back to the grid as part of a smart grid installation

In a paper published in Nature Photonics, U of T Engineering researchers report a new solar cell that may pave the way to inexpensive coatings that efficiently convert the sun's rays to electricity.
