What Makes Silicon Valley Work?
A recent San Jose Mercury News article looked at innovation in Silicon Valley and what makes it tick like no other technology hotbed. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Bureau of Economic Research built a map pinpointing the location of successful start-ups based on criteria such as IPO or acquisition and the factors…

Evidence Shows Continued Promise for California High School Students in Linked Learning Pathways
As Linked Learning—an innovative high school approach that integrates rigorous academics with real-world experiences—continues to gain momentum among educators and policymakers across the state, SRI Education’s Center for Education Policy has released its fifth annual evaluation report on the progress of the California Linked Learning District Initiative. Whereas previous reports focused on the development and implementation of systems within…

Raising the Quality Bar on Sequenced Genomes with Metabolic Modeling
Sequencing an organism’s genome is an important step in understanding how an organism functions. It elucidates the set of genes present in that organism, but genome annotation—the identification of genes within the DNA sequence and the assignment of functions to those genes—is an inexact science. Some genes receive incorrect functional assignments, functions for many genes…

Advances in Materials Science Move Energy Innovation
While advances in energy efficiency, electric cars and renewable energy make the news, the big story is how advances in materials science make it all possible. New classes of materials, plus innovations in manufacture and use, have already helped cars and planes use less fuel; produced batteries that are smaller, lighter, and run longer; and…

The Acute Effects of Alcohol on Sleep Electroencephalogram Power Spectra in Late Adolescence
Background Alcohol’s effect on sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra during late adolescence is of interest given that this age group shows both dramatic increases in alcohol consumption and major sleep-related developmental changes in quantitative EEG measures. This study examined the effect of alcohol on sleep EEG power spectra in 18- to 21-year-old college students. Methods…
