Soilless Farming–The Next Generation Green Revolution

Overview of Next-Generation Green Data Center

The dramatic growth in the demand for data centers is being accompanied by increases in energy consumption and operating costs. To deal with this problem, we have begun to research and develop a new system architecture called the “NextGeneration Green Data Center.” Our aim through this architecture is to demonstrate a level of performance that exceeds what can be achieved by energy savings and ...

Next-generation sequencing: a new revolution in molecular diagnostics?

In 1980, Fred Sanger and Walter Gilbert were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering novel ways for sequencing nucleic acids. In 2003, the human genome sequence was published, an effort that involved more than 3000 scientists from 6 countries. The work took 13 years to complete, at a cost of nearly $3 billion. Only 6 years later, nucleic acid sequencing technologies have advanced t...

The Next-Generation Sequencing Revolution and Its Impact on Genomics

Genomics is a relatively new scientific discipline, having DNA sequencing as its core technology. As technology has improved the cost and scale of genome characterization over sequencing's 40-year history, the scope of inquiry has commensurately broadened. Massively parallel sequencing has proven revolutionary, shifting the paradigm of genomics to address biological questions at a genome-wide s...

Microengineerng – the next Revolution

The field of microengineering, which has evolved over the past few decades, is leading to radical changes in manufacturing techniques for high-technology products. Microengineered devices and systems are being applied to an increasing range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, and biomedical/pharmaceutical industries, and this trend is expected to continue well into...
