Innovation: Deep versus Shallow Technology

By Dick Weisinger

Technology innovation at enterprise companies comes in two varieties: “deep tech” and “shallow tech”. Companies doing “deep tech” are adopting advanced new technologies like AI and robotics, while companies doing “shallow tech” are much more risk-averse and approach technology innovation…

Synthetic Biology: Boon or Bane for Humanity?

By Dick Weisinger

Synthetic biology is the creation of biological components by altering DNA, creating living formations that do not naturally exist naturally. DNA sequences can be reengineered and re-assembled to alter and create new types of living organisms. Synthetic biology is an…

Neuromorphic Computers: An Alternative to the von Neumann Computer

By Dick Weisinger

Neuromorphic computing is a new approach to designing computer chips.  The technology tries to mimic the way the synapses in the human brain work and create very large numbers of electric circuits on a chip that mimic the neuro-biological interactions…

Alternative Physics: What if We Don’t Have the Right Parameters?

By Dick Weisinger

Parameters like length, mass, time, temperature, and electric current are fundamental variables in physics. What if physicists like Newton and Einstein lived in a parallel universe and defined a different set of variables that describe the world? Parameters in physics…

Fusion: Sustainable Fusion Projects Advance

By Dick Weisinger

Atomic fusion is the merging of two hydrogen atoms into a single helium atom. It is a process that requires very large amounts of heat and pressure. Fusion occurs naturally on the sun, but so far, humans have been unable…
