Question: What do Archimedes, Euler and Isaac Newton have in common? Answer: First, they were all famous mathematicians. Archimedes discovered the law of hydrostatics; Euler is, to date, considered the most successful mathematician of all time; and Newton formulated the law of gravitation. Second, they all spent considerable time working on the mathematical constant known as "pi." But w
When seeing the Earth from space, you experience many conflicting emotions. At once, it’s a feeling of both power and helplessness. From the window of a spacecraft, you can see the beauty of the Earth, humanity’s spacecraft, our only home — but you can also see how it’s changed over time. Former astronauts like myself often return from space with a renewed instinct to protect our planet.

Onan started as a small business in Minnesota thrived for 100 years and became a global i
This is great news, yet introduces an unexpected challenge. In a given geographical area, newly installed solar and wind capacity will likely be producing electricity at the same time with the existing solar capacity. This can result in excess electricity from renewable sources during a certain time of the day, and no energy being produced when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing. So
