Plastic doesn't have to end up in landfills or the ocean.

When it comes to radical energy solutions , an extreme long shot is a nuclear power scheme that would combine fusion and fission. Existing nuclear plants all run on fission, the splitting of heavy nuclei such as uranium, to produce power--not to mention tons of hazardous waste

The simplest way to cut down on energy use isn't to build millions of brand-new LEED-certified buildings; it's to convince people to make changes themselves.

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.

When we visited his office on the Warner Bros. lot for this year's 100 Most Creative People in Business package , Conan O'Brien opened up about how he works.

Not only will these new bulbs save you money every month, they'll be tons of fun for amateur lighting designers, and can even increase home security. A Wi-Fi connected lightbulb that'll cost you just an extra buck a pop may sound crazy, but it's a soon-to-be reality that promises to transform your house into a mood-lit, low-power, eco-friendly smart home . That's the suggestion from NXP, a Netherlands-based semiconductor company that invented the Greenchip technology that will be in many Wi-Fi connected lightbulbs on sale by early 2012

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee have for the first time successfully characterized the earliest structural formation of the disease type of the protein that causes Huntington's disease. The incurable, hereditary neurological disorder is always fatal and affects one in 10,000 Americans.

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.

Ethonomic Indicator of the Day: 140 billion tons--the amount of resources the global economy will consume in 2050. As it stands, economic growth is largely dependent on resource consumption

Many people are working to harness renewable energy sources more effectively and to enhance energy efficiency. All good. Most of the efforts will probably result in welcomed but incremental improvements, however.

Coal Cares was just a parody of what it would look like if the coal industry targeted kids. But the coal industry's actual marketing to children, (with an assist from Scholastic), is much more insidious.

Our car culture may be to blame for skyrocketing obesity rates. Obesity is a complicated disease. It can be caused by your mom's pregnancy diet , genetics, your KFC Double Down habit, or some combination of all three
