Cool Characters: Engineers Take On Global Warming
A narrow hose made of composite fibers rises 18 miles over the Arctic. Supported by V-shaped balloons, it sprays 34 gallons per minute of sulfur dioxide into the earth’s stratosphere.

But earlier this week I found myself riveted by a radio show about the pistol and the company which manufactures it. In his book Glock: The Rise of America’s Gun, Paul Barrett traces the history of the Glock and how it’s infiltrated …
Brewing Up Some High-Tech Coffee
Like many professionals, I don’t (more truthfully, can’t) start my morning until I’ve had my first cup of coffee. It literally dictates the type of day I’m going to have; focused and alert versus zombie-like interactions. I’ve never been a fan of brewing my own cup.
