"Science-Driven Innovation. We're responsible for big inventions-and our goal is nothing short of inventing the future of the Internet."

"Great inventions and innovations were nearly always @ the overlapping edges of 2 or more disciplines, e.g. optics / microscope: http://ed.iiQii.de/gallery/VictimsOfGroupThink/PersistenceOfMemory_wikipedia_org But think to IT 1) human genome project / Craig Venter and to socialmedia 2) http://coturnix.org/ 3) http://scientopia.org/blogs/scicurious/ 4) http://michaelnielsen.org/blog/reinventing-discovery/ 5 ) „Science is an assault on ignorance, Its legacies are concepts,technologies and databases. As with many walks in life, the most glamorous legacies tend to get the most attention and the least are neglected" http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~scotch/maureretal_nature.pdf"

The International Space Apps Challenge is your opportunity to build, create, and invent new solutions to challenges of global importance.

"Gears are ubiquitous in the man-made world, found in items ranging from wristwatches to car engines, but it seems that nature invented them first. A species of plant-hopping insect, Issus coleoptratus, is the first living creature known to possess functional gears, a new study finds.

"The Decentralized Library of Alexandria is an open-source standard in active development to allow users to publish and distribute original content themselves, from music to videos to feature films, 3d printable inventions, recipes, books and just about anything else. It is a unified, ever-growing library of art, history and culture which users interact with through a variety of front end apps. A native browser is in continuing development, but the Alexandria standard can also be used by other open source developers and even current industry incumbents like YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes and Netflix to offer a far superior value proposition to content providers and a better experience for users than currently available."

"Maschinen, Mechanik, Produktivität: Das Zahnrad ist geradezu ein Symbol für die Technik des Menschen. Das Prinzip der verzahnten Kraftkopplung begannen Menschen bereits in der Antike für ihre Zwecke zu nutzen. Doch offenbar existierte die Getriebetechnik damals schon lange und zwar in der Form eines Natur-Patents: Die Käferzikade besitzt nämlich eine Art Zahnradsystem, um die Bewegung ihrer Hinterbeine beim Springen zu synchronisieren"

"Mao's support of Chinese medicine was inspired by political necessity. In a 1950 speech (unwittingly echoed by the Senate's concerns about "providing health care to underserved populations"), he said: Our nation's health work teams are large.

Therefore, we must strive for the complete unification of Chinese medicine"
