Cloud Computing – The adoption of cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) models are disrupting traditional enterprise software in health IT.
For most of the time, a great amount of the capacity is idle. A smart grid eliminates the need for building more power plants in the US for the next decade.
Development of the Ethereum project has gone very well over the months since inception. The core activity — development of the software platform — is on track and many developers around the world are starting to build small, exploratory distributed ap…
Nest offers a thermostat that learns and adapts to individual temperature preferences and commuting schedules. It programs itself, and does all of the work.
Agricultural biotechnology and new genetic computational tools could increase farm productivity, lower food prices, and work towards ending world hunger.
