Researchers at Fermilab are building a "holometer" so they can disprove everything you thought you knew about the universe. More specifically, they are trying to either prove or disprove the somewhat mind-bending notion that the third dimension doesn't exist at all, and that the 3-D universe we think we live in is nothing more than a hologram. To do so, they are building the most precise clock ever created.

"We build and investigate software systems for parallel and distributed environments. We have conducted research in operating systems, networking, mobile computing, language design, compiler design, and architecture, taking a pragmatic approach: we build high-performance, reliable, and working systems."

This article describes 7 science-backed strategies to resist temptations and reach your goals through building willpower!

"A new bioprinter developed at a hackerspace can print living cells for less than the cost of an iPod touch. 3-D bioprinters have the potential to change the way medical research is conducted, even print living tissue and replacement organs, but they are expensive and highly specialized. They literally build living structures, like blood vessels or skin tissue, cell by cell, revolutionizing biomedical engineering. Unfortunately, they're expensive, rare, and require a Ph.D. (or two) to operate successfully. Frustrated by their cost and exclusivity, a group of makers at the DIYbio hackerspace BioCurious are developing a system open to anyone with a soldering iron and a serious passion for cell biology."

The Personal Genome API. Build an app on the human genome

Our goal is to get our students worldwide(technically oriented individuals), who due to their socio-economic status don't have fund to study robotics engineering at a university, learn to design and build robust, intelligent robots for a university robotics engineering degree.

Earth observation data have increased considerably over the last decades with satellite sensors collecting and transmitting back to Earth several terabytes of data per day. This data acquisition rate is a major challenge to existing data management, exploitation and dissemination approaches used by various agencies such as ESA, NASA and European national space agencies. To make the available petabytes of EO data easily accessible by an even larger group of end user applications, TELEIOS will design and implement a Virtual Earth Observatory by building on the following state of the art technologies:

Knowillage is a new way to learn. We make studying more efficient with a unique tool that's tailored to each student's needs, while building a learning community at the same time.

"Arches is an open-source, web-based, geospatial information system for cultural heritage inventory and management. Purpose-built for the international cultural heritage field, Arches is designed to record all types of immovable heritage, including archaeological sites, buildings and other historic structures, landscapes, and heritage ensembles or districts."

Dead simple machine learning. Our intuitive, easy-to-use platform for machine learning enables anyone to build and deploy models with a few simple clicks. Work in a team? Our platform is specifically designed for collaborative machine learning.

"The unfortunate reality is that a person is likelier build a billion dollar company by writing code than by treating cancer. " (THX James Taylor ‏@JTBiotech ) @Spatzlhirn an @JTBiotech "As with many walks in life, the most glamorous legacies tend to get the most attention and the least are neglected"

"Tissue engineering is often thought of as a "Frankenstein-type" science where scientists build living tissues from otherwise "dead" tissues and organs. However, current advances in technology mean bringing life to cadaveric tissues is becoming more and more sophisticated: less of the lightning strikes and more stem cells and 3D printing!"

The most ambitious project ever conceived on the Internet: Google's master plan to scan every book in the world and the people trying to stop them. Google says they are building a library for mankind, but some say they also have other intentions.
