Consequently, Dave Anderson, founder of the open-source software platform BOINC, foresees volunteer computing at an"exascale  level oe about 1, 000,000, 000,
and the open-source community gather at hackfests to find volunteer programming and computing solutions to science problems.
For example, in the early 2020s, you ll have a choice of many thousands of cool clothing designs that are open source
Despite enormous changes in business models (and the availability of many free open source products) the overall revenues for proprietary forms of these products remains strong.
Even before the preliminary design hit the. pdf#which he released open-source, no strings attached-Musk had made clear that the Hyperloop remained#oeextremely speculative.#
Society needs to create rules that balance the interests of those creating something new with those of the people who want to build on that invention to create the next version Dreyfuss said. 6. do need we open source in agriculture?
Often used in the field of computer software open source innovations do not have patent protection
Some though not all plant breeders support the use of open source for innovations within agriculture Gepts said.
Adaptations of an open source innovation can be protected legally in a variety of ways Dreyfuss said. 7. Better consumers needed.
Researchers at Cornell pioneered some of this work adapting an open source extrusion printer called the Fab@Home Lab to work with food in 2007.
#Open-source Seeds Make a Comeback (Op-Ed) This article was published originally at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Live Science's Expert Voices:
Over the past 20 years the growth of the free and open source software movement whose poster child is the operating system Linux has provided an alternative to proprietary software from megacorps such as Microsoft Apple
Taking inspiration from this we have created a similar organisation the Open source Seed Initiative (OSSI) whose aim is to free the seed that is to make sure that the genes in at least some plant seeds can never be locked away from use by intellectual property rights.
OSSI s Open source Seed Pledge commits anyone who receives and uses OSSI seed to keep that seed
This pledge is OSSI s equivalent of the idea that underpins the open source software movement in the form of the General Public Licence or GPL.
and open source seeds not patented and indentured seeds. OSSI is seed itself a that we have planted
Irwin Goldman is on the board of the Open source Seed Initiative which is in the process of obtaining not-for-profit status in the US.
#An Open-source Hive To Save The Bees You may have heard by now: bees are dropping like flies continuing to die at unprecedented rates
The Open source Beehives project is a collaborative response to the threat faced by bee populations in industrialised nations around the world.
Each hive contains an open source sensory kit The Smart Citizen Kit (SCK) which can transmit to an open data platform:
'All my publications are open source so that everyone in the world can use this information freely.'
His main tool is open-source 3d printing which he uses to save thousands of dollars by making everything from his lab equipment to his safety razor.
which now holds over 54000 open-source designs 3d printers make all manner of objects by laying down thin layers of plastic in a specific pattern.
While high-end printers can cost many thousands of dollars simpler open-source units run between $250
Their process is open-source and free for everyone to make and use at Thingiverse. com. The process isn't perfect.
Knightly Anand and Rice graduate student Ryan Guerra designed the first open-source UHF multiuser MIMO test system.
Researchers at the University of California Davis have developed Easy Leaf Area--a free software written in an open-source programming language--to allow users to accurately measure leaf area from digital images in seconds.
We also built an open-source kit that will allow people to build these at home for a very low cost, about $1, 000.
It has an open source project known as ZXING to allow cell phones and cameras to scan barcodes without using a server.
And while you can get simple open-source printers for surprisingly cheap (anywhere from $250-$500),
The design for the Recyclebot is open-source and available here. Of course, you get what you pay for.
Growstuff uses open source software to help Melburnians track what they are planting and harvesting, while providing them with a practical local guide to growing their own food.
You have mentioned you'd like to make Soylent open source, so that it could be made freely by anyone.
I'm a huge advocate of open source and sharing information. There's still always going to be a strong market for us making it
Tiffani Williams, computer scientist, on creating an open source tree of lifethe Open Tree of Life project culls years'worth of segmented scientific research in an effort to create a current, open source version of our knowledge
an open source hardware platform and sensors to precisely monitor and automatically manage the temperature, light and moisture inside a small domed garden.
But, as geneticist and open-source medicine evangelist Andrew Hessel wrote in the January-February 2010 issue of THE FUTURIST, oethanks to rapidly moving technologies like synthetic biology,
It the ideal technical foundation for open-source biotechnology. Moreover synthetic biology drops the cost of doing bioengineering by several orders of magnitude.
