What do you do when you have a bad "break up" with an employee? Here are a few things to think about when it happens, because it will. Over the course of 10 years I've had lovely people come to my e-mail marketing software company VerticalResponse, and sadly they've 'broken up with us' for various reasons

As car companies become more technology driven, Detroit is parking itself among the startups. Silicon Valley: home to Google, Intel, countless tech startups, and..

University of Minnesota engineering researchers in the College of Science and Engineering have recently discovered a new alloy material that converts heat directly into electricity. This revolutionary energy conversion method is in the early stages of development, but it could have wide-sweeping impact on creating environmentally friendly electricity from waste heat sources.

The irradiation of a metal surface with light or electrons can result in the formation of coherent electronic oscillations called surface plasmons, an effect ideal for applications such as optical communications on optoelectronic chips. Unfortunately, however, surface plasmons quickly lose their energy during transit, limiting their on-chip propagation distance. Jing Hua Teng at the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering and co-workers from Nankai University and Nanyang Technological University under the Singapore-China Joint Research Program have now developed nanoscale structures that are able to replenish as well as guide surface plasmons on chips

Yep, they are 30-day hack-a-thons--and they are helping launch big products, including Facebook Deals. Welcome to what one Facebooker calls "a playground for engineers." Tech giants such as Google to Facebook are famous for hack-a-thons, all-night marathon coding sessions where eager employees build something unrelated to their current projects

A biomechanical experiment conducted at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science has answered a long-standing theoretical question: Will microorganisms swim faster or slower in elastic fluids? For a prevalent type of swimming, undulation, the answer is 'slower.'

New technology could make smartphones the norm in the developing world, and might have a host of other applications yet to be imagined. A Cambridge University Ph.D. student, Jens Christensen, has developed a novel way to make touchscreens cheaper

A step change in research relating to plasma nanoscience is needed for the world to overcome the challenge of sufficient energy creation and storage, says a leading scientist from CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering and the University of Sydney, Australia.

Richard Miller has had one of the toughest jobs in higher education. The Olin Foundation tapped him a dozen years ago to create an engineering college on a hilltop in the Boston suburb of Needham.

Northwestern University Taught by: Faculty Most entrepreneurs possess deep knowledge of their industries.

We're all familiar with ultrasound technology--the arrival of sonograms has changed pregnancy forever. But now a development by scientists in the U.K. could bring incredible MRI-like powers to your family doctor.
