Lockheed Supports Innovation Challenge; Elsevier Awards $650K to Libraries Scientists- CSR Min
For the third year, Lockheed Martin is supporting the aerospace and aviation category of the Spirit of Innovation Challenge, sponsored by the Conrad Foundation. The annual Challenge engages high school students to use science, technology, engineering, and math skills to develop commercially viable products and services that address sustainability issues. The Conrad Foundation is a non-profit that combines education, innovation, and entrepreneurship to inspire solutions for global sustainability. Underwriters Laboratory #39;s 2012 annual global study, The Product Mindset, shows that sustainable products and operations are becoming more important to manufacturers. 81 percent of those surveyed say sustainability is essential to the success of their business. 89 percent of manufacturers say the same thing about operational sustainability. For the report, researchers interviewed 1200 manufacturers worldwide from the high technology/consumer electronics, food, smart appliances and building materials sectors about safety, performance, innovation and sustainability. The Elsevier Foundation has awarded $650000 in grants to eight institutions for its Libraries in Developing Countries and New Scholars programs. The Libraries initiative supports innovation in improving access to scientific, technical, and medical information. The Scholars program underwrites projects that help women scientists balance family responsibilities with demanding careers.

FirstSixty: DOOM 3: BFG Edition (PlayStation 3, Windows, Xbox 360) (Part 1)
On FirstSixty, we play a video game that we have never played before. We play for 60 minutes, recording our immediate reactions to the game. It #39;s not a review - we #39;re just having fun (or perhaps not) and joking around. On this episode, we #39;re stepping off the spaceship and entering the United Aerospace Corporation on Mars in the classic first person shooter revamped, "DOOM 3: BFG Edition," developed by id Software and published by Bethesda. For those familiar to the franchise, DOOM 3 is a reboot of the original DOOM franchise that was made famous on the PC and Super Nintendo. In those games, as well as this one, you take control of the lone space marine who finds himself in the middle of a world gone to hell; the only hope for humanity #39;s survival as he must stop a demon invasion from reaching the surface of Earth. Sean has personally been a huge fan of this series from the beginning with the first DOOM, as our grandfather was a gamer himself and would regularly buy new games, whether it was DOOM, Super C (Contra Series) or one of the two American ports of Hideo Kojima #39;s hit series, "Metal Gear." Add the fact that id was bought by Bethesda Softworks (makers of "Fallout 3," one of Sean #39;s all-time favorite games) and published this updated version of this game, and you may as well have a match made in heaven. Or, in this case, hell!

Additive Manufacturing - main film
Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to a revolutionary range of processes that can create parts with hitherto impossible geometries; often within a space of hours. The AdAM team at the University Sheffield is playing a key role in realising this potential by conducting research and development across a broad range of AM processes for industries such as aerospace, automotive and healthcare. Featuring interviews with our collaborative partners - BMW Group, Boeing Research Technology 3D printing specialists Materialise and AM consultants Wohlers Associates -- we hear how important university researchers are to these organisations.From:ResearchatSheffieldViews:0 0ratingsTime:07:12More inScience Technology
