Leo Esaki

Interview
on: The Vega Science Trust
Leo Esaki is a Japanese physicist who shared half the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973 with Ivar Giaever for the discovery of the phenomenon of electron tunneling.

The discovery of angiogenesis inhibitors: A new class of drugs
on: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The process of angiogenesis--the growth of new capillary blood vessels--is now recognized as a powerful control point in cancer. The hypothesis that tumors are angiogenesis-dependent has been confirmed by genetic methods and has stimulated angiogenesis research in many laboratories. As a result, angiogenesis inhibitors have emerged as a new class of drugs.

Frederick P. Brooks

360 Revolution
on:
Join computer pioneers and National Medal of Technology awardees Erich Bloch, Fred Brooks, Jr. and Bob Evans with current IBM technology chief Nick Donofrio for a conversation about the extraordinary System/360 project. IBM launched System/360 on April 7, 1964. Many consider it the biggest business gamble of all time. At the height of IBM's success, Thomas J. Watson, Jr. bet the company's future on a new compatible family of computer systems that would help revolutionize modern organizations. Get a behind-the-scenes view of the tough decisions made by some of the people who made them, and learn how the System/360 helped transform the government, science and commercial landscape.

Whitfield Diffie

Information Security-Before, During, and After Public-Key Cryptography
on:
In the 1970s, the world of information security was transformed by public-key cryptography, the radical revision of cryptographic thinking that allowed people with no prior contact to communicate securely. Public key solved security problems born of the revolution in information technology that characterized the 20th century and made Internet commerce possible. Security problems rarely stay solved, however. Continuing growth in computing, networking, and wireless--including applications made possible by improvements in security-have given rise to new security problems. Where is this going? Diffie, a key figure in the discovery public-key cryptography, will trace the growth of information security through the 20th Century and into the 21st.

Grand Opening of the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES)
on: National Science Foundation
From the Pacific coast to our nation's interior, more than 75 million Americans in 39 states live in towns and cities at risk for earthquake devastation. While scientists are digging into the origins of seismic waves, engineers are pushing the boundaries of design to create structures that remain safe when an earthquake ultimately surfaces. On Nov. 15, 2004, the National Science Foundation hosted the grand opening of a research network that addresses this important design need--the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES).

Irving Weissman

Stem Cells: Biology, Medicine and Beyond
on: Carnegie Institution
Research shows that adult stem cells may be responsible for the regeneration-and perhaps generation-of many, if not all tissues and organs. Some of these stem cells are now used for medical therapies and others are ready to be tested. Surprisingly, it appears that cancers also can use the stem cell model for regeneration and growth. A better understanding of cancer stem cells may soon change the way we treat this pervasive disease.
