Clayton Christensen is someone I greatly admire.

The risk of death from carbon dioxide leaking from an underground storage site is far less than the risk of getting struck by lightning or killed in a car accident, according to a new study. The research, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focuses on naturally occurring CO2 seeping through the ground in Italy, but the study authors say their analysis holds broad implications for industrially captured carbon dioxide that would be injected thousands of feet underneath the earth

If we are to improve the quality of life in our cities--27 of which are expected to have more than 10 million people by 2020--we will have to find a better way to build them. MIT's new software will help.

By Eric Hand and Nature magazine Venus would seem to be a tempting destination for planetary probes: conveniently close, and an extreme laboratory for atmospheric processes familiar on Earth. So why won't NASA send a mission there

John Warrillow explains how professionals-such as architects, accountants, doctors and dentists-can grow their business beyond themselves. Dear John: I'm a criminal defense lawyer. As much as I would like to, I don't see how I could apply the Built To Sell philosophy to my practice

By Deborah Zabarenko, Environment Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Plants and animals are responding up to three times faster to climate change than previously estimated, as wildlife shifts to cooler altitudes and latitudes, researchers said on Thursday. Scientists have reported this decade on individual species that moved toward the poles or uphill as their traditional habitats shifted due to global warming, but this study analyzed data on over 2,000 species to get a more comprehensive picture

Last month we told you the best options for front office software. This month we asked the experts to weigh in on back office software to improve your business operations. Never have there been more software choices for the small business.

(PhysOrg.com) -- The three LHC-experiments (ALICE, ATLAS and CMS), which study lead-collisions have presented their latest results at the international Quark Matter 2011 conference, held in Annecy in France with over 750 participants from all over the world. The results are based on the analysis of new data from November-December 2010, when the LHC collided lead ions at approximately 14 times higher energy than was previously possible.

Blood spatters are telltale marks of violent crimes, and have captured the public imagination in shows like Dexter, CSI, and Bones--shows whose cool tech may be less based in reality than special effect. For instance, it's only just now been worked out how to determine the height from which blood droplets fell.

When writing a business plan, here's how to run the numbers that matter without getting hung-up on those that don't. Entrepreneurs are a courageous bunch—except when it comes to math. I've seen many notoriously tough senior executives shudder at the prospect of running financial projections for their business plans.

For feathered dinosaurs the late Cretaceous period may have been a very itchy time. Lice--the tiny wingless insects that feed on dead skin, and sometimes blood--were just beginning to dig in about 100 million years ago, and the epoch's small furry mammals, early birds and dino-birds would have provided ample food. The louse fossil record is relatively sparse

The likely Republican candidates might not be saying much about their candidacies just yet. But, as the saying goes, the medium is the message

Osama Bin Laden has been proclaimed dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Carbon and water footprint measurements have become almost commonplace among large corporations, at least in part because of prodding from organizations like the Carbon Disclosure Project . But these measurements only tell part of the story
