In 2000 bioengineer Thomas Boland the self-described grandfather of bioprinting eyed an old Lexmark printer in his lab at Clemson University.
Boland emptied the Lexmark's ink cartridge and filled it with collagen. He then glued a thin black silicon sheet onto blank paper and fed it into the printer.
and his team had reconfigured a Hewlett-packard Deskjet 550c to print with E coli bacteria. Then they graduated to larger mammalian cells farmed from Chinese hamsters and lab rats.
Sensing an opportunity Autodesk has teamed with Organovo to develop CAD programs that could be applied to bioprinting.
but they may have one in the coming years says Carlos Olguin head of Autodesk's Bio nano/Programmable Matter Group.
As a first step Autodesk plans to create a modern cloud-based CAD shell to help streamline the design process.

#IBM's Watson Made Me A Kebabyou've probably heard of Watson IBM's super-intelligent supercomputer that dominated on Jeopardy!
not too long ago. Turns out he's not a bad cook either. At South By Southwest IBM has set up a food truck staffed with chefs from the Institute of Culinary Education who are whipping up (strange uncanny surprisingly tasty) daily recipes dreamed up by the machine.
Here's the background. For about two years IBM has been working on a way to harness Watson's data-driven computing into more creative fields--the kinds of things where unlike a game show there's no one right answer.
The first experiment with that has been in the kitchen. By mining a database of freely available online recipes (as well as recipes from professional chefs

Kirchain and Olivetti view their results as a guide for companies looking to evaluate the impact of similar products.

With a lower supply of coffee in the market prices rise and that favors fraud because of the economic gain says research team leader Suzana Lucy Nixdorf Ph d. In 2012 a study from the U k.'s Royal Botanic Gardens
Now however Nixdorf and her team at State university of Londrina in Brazil have developed a way to nip coffee counterfeiting in the bud.

The acetic acid bacteria then process these simultaneously via separate metabolic pathways ultimately producing acetate from them.
But such simple steps as leaving slash--the plant waste left over after crop production--on fields after harvests so it could be incorporated into the soil could reintroduce between 0. 4 and 1. 1 gigatons of carbon annually to soil the study says.

#Madagascar sells first forest carbon credits to Microsoftthe Government of Madagascar has approved carbon sales with Microsoft
We hope that other organizations will follow the lead of Microsoft The Carbonneutral Company and Zoo Zurich and join us in this effort to conserve Madagascar's unique biodiversity through the sale of future carbon credits said Pierre Manganirina Randrianarisoa the Secretary general of the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
We are thankful to Microsoft The Carbonneutral Company and Zoo Zurich and we look forward to future purchases by other forward-thinking organizations.
Said Rob Bernard Chief Environmental Strategist at Microsoft: Supporting forest conservation and community building projects like Makira is an important part of Microsoft's strategy to reduce its environmental impact support sustainable economic growth improve health and education and address societal challenges.
The project's important role in protecting a crucial area of biodiversity value also aligns with Microsoft's own focus on using technology information
and research to develop new approaches and solutions to sustainability. Said Jonathan Shopley Managing director of The Carbonneutral Company:
It is likely that BSMV was transported to the east via trade routes such as the Silk road in the late Medieval period.
Dave Bartlett, the Vice president of IBM's Smarter Buildings Initiative, recently made predictions for the top five building trends that are going to make a big impact in 2012,
For example, IBM is involved in a project in Boston's Backbay to help the neighborhood implement smart grid technology that electronically monitors
According to Bartlett, this system helped IBM identify carbon in unexpected places like in methane leaks from utilities.
IBM â¢s campus in Rochester, Minnesota has implemented this system of transparency. The buildings there take up a massive 3. 2 million square feet,
and IBM takes real time data from over 300,000 data points, combining the results help make the campus as efficient as possible,
Sensor technology, that is coming from the physical infrastructure (like that used on the IBM campus),
