Kids are intensely social creatures and you can really see what is important to them by looking at their designs.
Plankton Damping
Microscopically tiny marine organisms known as plankton increase their carbon uptake in response to increased concentrations of dissolved CO2 and thereby contribute to a dampening of the greenhouse effect on a global scale. An international group of scientists led by the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel, Germany documented this biological mechanism in a natural plankton community for the first time.

I am certain that scientists will discover further biological feedback mechanisms in the near future. It is essential not only to identify and to understand these mechanisms, but also to quantify their effect on the global climate system, now and in the future.
The Cloud
The Cloud is a speculative design for a resort city elevated 300 metres in the air above Dubai and supported on slanting legs resembling rain.
Nanosolar Powersheet
Imagine a solar panel without the panel. Just a coating, thin as a layer of paint, that takes light and converts it to electricity.

The Mustang Bullitt is based on a nearly 40-year-old Steve McQueen film that built one of the most exciting silver screen chase scenes ever around a modified Mustang 390GT.
An SUV that can still tow 6,000 pounds in 4WD models ~ but has the city fuel economy of a four-cylinder Toyota Camry.

The only one who’s laughing is the advertising man.
Simple Theory of Everything
The new theory reported today in New Scientist has been laid out in an online paper entitled “An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything“
Lisi’s inspiration lies in the most elegant and intricate shape known to mathematics, called E8 – a complex, eight-dimensional mathematical pattern with 248 points first found in 1887, but only fully understood by mathematicians this year after workings, that, if written out in tiny print, would cover an area the size of Manhattan.
