The future of solar energy is getting brighter with a new Solar Technology Institute and more ASU researchers becoming involved in new solar technology research.

The Science Foundation Arizona opened the new institute April 17 and presented five new solar initiatives, with collaboration between ASU and UA researchers. The research projects will total $4 million.

“The main goal we have is to develop new disruptive technologies that will decrease the price of solar energy,” said Richard Powell, the co-director of the Solar Technology Institute.

Disruptive technologies are innovative technologies that improve a service or product.

Milwaukee Art Museum visitors can hear about American furniture from the 18th and 19th century, and music from those periods in the new iPod Touch tour.

At The Baltimore Museum of Art, people can stand at a touch-sensitive flat screen for a virtual tour of the apartment and artwork of sisters Claribel and Etta Cone, who assembled a grand collection of pieces from Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh.

At the Brooklyn Museum, two laptops with Web cams record videos of people talking about race in relation to the exhibition "The Black List Project" to be broadcast on YouTube.

I have a lot of friends that have LCD monitors (I prefer CRT still) and most of them are complaining about stuck pixels and how they can repair a LCD monitor that has this type of problem. I will show you 3 simple ways that you can use to get rid of this problem without having to go to someone else and maybe pay that respective person. Stuck pixels usually appear because the liquid inside the LCD monitor is not spread properly, and so 1 or more pixels may remain stuck with one color or just stay black, it depends. But now lets get down to the explaining part.

1. I will start with the software method, since this is the one that most people prefer and it is also the easiest way to repair LCD monitor that has a stuck pixel.

You know the quality of your at-home movie and television watching will increase with a new home theater, but you still are not sure whether you are the kind of person who really needs one.

Who needs a home theater system?

New iPod Shuffle: World’s Smallest Music Player

Known as the world’s smallest music player, the new Apple iPod shuffle even got sleeker and more stylish with its 1.8” height and 0.3” thinness. The difference of the new iPod shuffle from the previous model was that its controls were moved from the unit itself to the earbud cord, not just for the smaller design, but for easier use and quick access, as well.

Don’t get mistaken, though. If you think that its small size would cause you to lose it or accidentally drop it, worry not, because it comes with a stainless steel clip that securely attaches to your shirt, pants, or bag!

With that being said, here are the memory-boosting foods that will help your brain cope with the myriad of information and formulas to be digested from the thick PMBOK.

From robotic construction trucks to robotic submarines, the world of robotic vehicles is being employed to revolutionize our lives. Traditionally associated with the military, robotic planes, submarines, tanks, trucks, cars, mechanical bugs and other types of mobile robots are being developed for civilian use as well. Futuristic advancements are no longer a matter of "How," but more so a matter of "When," as to when the technology will be affordable enough for average citizens.

"The good thing about this system is you don't have to send a marine out and risk that life," Captain James Lee said of his bomb-disassembling and reconnaissance mission robotic vehicles. The machines may cost $100,000 a piece, but they're fairly durable, especially considering that duct tape and common materials can be used to patch them.

But it is really worth buying an HD Ready TV? The answer is yes. This is not because a lot of people are buying it but because most television shows and movies being made are produced in this format.

In order for you to make the most out of your HD Ready TV, you will need to do a few things. You have to connect the components together, make some adjustments in the setting panel and then get a high definition signal.
