Not Only Businessman December 07, 2011 Recently Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman, was in the UK speaking at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh international TV festival and what he said may have rankled a few in the audience.

That isn’t an expression of curiosity or a passion ... (read more) Author: William Feins

7. Smart materials June 30, 2010 As a gung-ho polymath in an era of debilitating specialization, de Gennes saw no bounds to the integrative role of materials science. As he remarked in 1995, 'I've battled for a long time to have three cultures in my little school: physics, chemistry and biology. Even at a time when there are not many openings for bioengineers in industry, this triple culture is already very important for physical and chemical engineers.' When a group on these lines started work at the Institut Curie in Paris, one of its first efforts was to try out an idea for artificial muscles proposed by de ... (read more) Author: Osama Azzam
