Makerspace Debut: A Custom-Designed Instrument for Energy Exploration

Tuesday, February 27, 2018
There is a potentially limitless supply of renewable, carbon-free energy within the Earth’s crust if we could only permeate the thick layers of crystalline rock that sit over it, barring access. So far, success in harnessing the Earth’s own heat has been mostly limited to tapping the boiling hot water that bubbles up with little prompting close to the surface. “The main challenge is to tap into deeper and less fractured hot rocks. This would make geothermal energy accessible in many more locations across the world. In order to achieve this goal, we need to fracture the rock in order...

Engineer Peter Engler Relives the WWII Shanghai Ghetto in the New PBS Series, "We'll Meet Again"

Monday, January 22, 2018
Peter Engler was four years old when his family fled Berlin in the wake of Kristallnacht, the infamous “Night of Broken Glass.” Stateless, their passports stamped “J” for Juden by the Nazis, the Englers made their way to Shanghai, one of the only free ports in the world at the time. Soon after arriving, they were confined to a mile-square Jewish ghetto by Japanese occupiers.
