In this installment of the Butterfly Effect, climate change is creating incredible economic opportunity in the Arctic, leading to saber rattling from Canada and Russia.

A method developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder for making thin, flexible, high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables has won a 2011 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine. The prestigious annual awards salute the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year.

Turns out that building bike lanes isn't just a benefit for bikers. Building those bike lanes provides a big boost to the economy.

Here's how you may soon charge your phone by tapping on it rather than plugging it in. Thanks, science! Australian researchers have made a breakthrough in thin-film piezoelectric technology, working out a way to turn the chunky piezo electric tech we're already familiar with into super-thin layers that are actually much more useful. If your eyes glaze over at the merest mention of physics then at least read this: The tech could abolish wall wart power plugs forever.

Stanford University physicist Leonard Susskind revels in discovering ideas that transform the status quo in physics. Forty years ago he co-founded string theory, which was initially derided but eventually became the leading candidate for a unified theory of nature. For years he disputed Stephen Hawking’s conjecture that black holes do not merely swallow objects but grind them up beyond recovery, in violation of quantum mechanics

This spring, two red-tailed hawks took up residence on the 12th floor ledge of the New York University president's office at Bobst Library. Their nest and the three eggs inside made headlines in The New York Times , which set up a camera feed to capture the growing chicks

In this installment of DIY U, we dip into the world of Creative Commons-licensed open courseware and meet Pippa Buchanan, a DIY education rock star who built her education from just one blog post. She currently works for the Peer 2 Peer University , one of the most exciting and active experiments in online open education.

German researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM), together with their colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, have observed spin quantum-jumps with a single trapped proton for the first time. The fact that they have managed to procure this elusive data means that they have overtaken their research competitors at the elite Harvard University and are now the global leaders in this field.
