If nine out of 10 entrepreneurs are starting Web-based businesses. Is that trouble? I spend a lot of time traveling and talking to aspiring entrepreneurs

I thought I wasn't ready to hire my first intern. She showed me I was wrong. College freshmen used to think about exploring their interests, figuring out their major, or just how to manage their time while carrying a full load of courses and establishing a social life.

Golf fans always suspected it: before his infamous improprieties, the mere presence of Tiger Woods could panic other pros. Now, economist Jennifer Brown has figured out how strong that “Tiger factor” was

(PhysOrg.com) -- They shrink when you heat 'em. Most materials expand when heated, but a few contract. Now engineers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have figured out how one of these curious materials, scandium trifluoride (ScF3), does the trick—a finding, they say, that will lead to a deeper understanding of all kinds of materials.

What if EVs could be charged up in the time it takes to go to the bathroom and grab a convenience store snack? Electric vehicles may be cleaner than gasoline-powered cars and cheap to charge, but they come with a major downside: It takes a lot of time to juice them up. But what if EVs could be charged up in the time it takes to go to the bathroom and run into a convenience store for a snack?

New technologies don't just recycle plastic into new plastic.

It’s one of the most commonly consumed snacks in the Western world and has been made in one form or another for at least three centuries, so you might think nothing new could come of the humble french fry.

TapIn's iPad app reorients news, classifieds, and events around precise locations, making every user feel like a local expert. The local news industry is in disarray. Local ad revenue has plummeted

Researchers at MIT have figured out how to grow "humanized" livers inside of mice--so the little critters could soon accurately predict how our livers will respond to drugs. Mice are a boon to biomedical research; they can often predict how humans will react to certain conditions, and not too many people get upset if they die from an overdose of toxic chemicals. But mice aren't as useful in pharmaceutical research because their livers react to drugs differently than human livers

In a game of one-upmanship, a Chinese team of physicists has figured out how to entangle eight photons simultaneously and to observe them in action; the previous record was six. In a paper published in arXiv, the team from the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, describe how they were able to convert a single photon into two entangled photons, using a nonlinear crystal, and then how they repeated that process with one of the paired photons produced, while holding the other in place, producing another pair, and then did it repeatedly until they had eight photons all entangled together, all held in place and all observable for a period of time.

If we're burning it, we might as well use the waste.

Just in case the whole electric-car revolution doesn't pan out, vehicle manufactures have been hedging their bets with hydrogen-powered vehicles; just last week, Toyota opened the first hydrogen refueling station connected directly to a hydrogen pipeline. But human production of hydrogen from water is often a dirty process--most hydrogen today is produced from natural gas. Plants, however, split water all the time
