Image via: http://www.dalailamany.org/ After attending three days–12 total blissful hours–of His Holiness’ teachings this past weekend in NYC, I’m in a much calmer state. (Is the live broadcast footage of real time oil spill leaving worry lines across your forehead too?)

Concrete often cracks due to shrinkage, impact or loading, and then the moisture gets in, corrodes the reinforcing or spalls in freeze-thaw cycles. Michelle Pelletier, a University of Rhode Island master’s degree candidate, has figured out a way to make it “self-healing”, and says this will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo credit iRobot Scientists are already rushing to determine the environmental impact of the Gulf oil spill, and iRobot is helping with the Seaglider, an unmanned underwater vehicle that has been sent to the ocean floor to prowl for submerged oil. iRobot is known for the Roomba and consumer cleaning robots, but this UUV unfortunately won’t be doing any cleaning. Instead, researchers need to measure the presence of oil trapped underwater, so the Seaglider, which can operate for up to 10 months, was released to find oil and repo… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Take, for example, Australian designer Gary Galego’s Carbonwood bike. It is a stunning piece of art. A material co… Read the full story on TreeHugger
