Burlington, Vermont, the state's largest city, recently became the first in the country to use 100% renewable energy for its residents' electricity needs. In a state known for socially conscious policies, the feat represents a milestone in the growing green energy movement. 

Robert Langer’s trailblazing research in biomedical engineering, which ranges from haircare to cancer treatments, has already improved the lives of at least 2 billion people and counting. Recently, his team at the David H. Koch Institute at MIT developed a pill that sits inside the stomach and delivers medication over an extended period of time. People with chronic conditions, like asthma or heart disease, often need to take medications on a daily basis. But that simple act of remembering each day is a huge problem for many. The new device, which has been tested in pigs, could be a potential solution not only for patients with chronic diseases, but also as a way to treat conditions in third world countries that require long-term therapies, such as malaria. NOTE: This video is only available in Spanish.

Ralph Gilles lives in the future. As the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Global Head of Design, he has one of the coolest and most challenging jobs: to develop entirely new cars for scratch that people want to drive and buy. This process can cost a billion dollars and take five years and once the car is rolling it must continue to look cool throughout, at least, the first three to six years of its service life. The only way for designers and carmakers to succeed is paying attention to what 12-year-olds are doing now, how they spend their money and how they use technology, because they will be the target consumers in 2030 of the future electric, self-driving cars. NOTE: This video is only available in Spanish.

Dr. Tony Wagner, an education Expert In Residence at Harvard University’s new Innovation Lab has identified what he calls a "global achievement gap," which is the leap between what even our best schools are teaching, and the seven must-have skills of the future: Critical thinking and problem-solving, Collaboration across networks and leading by influence, Agility and adaptability, Initiative and entrepreneurialism, Effective oral and written communication, Accessing and analyzing information and Curiosity and imagination. He talks about all of them in this conversation with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Could tiny, translucent chips that mimic human organs replace animal testing for drug development? That reality may be coming, according to researchers led by Prof. Donald E. Ingber at the Wyss Institute at Harvard who have developed organs-on-chips: flexible polymer microchips (about the size of a computer flash drive) that mimic the mechanical and biochemical behaviors of the human organ provide a window into the tissue structures, functions, and motions of lungs, intestines, kidneys, hearts, and other organs.

Chris Dancy is arguably the most high-profile exponent of the “quantified self” movement. He uses commonly available sensors to monitor every move and every breath he makes. Dancy has used technology to improve his productivity and reduce his stress; he has monitored and adapted everything from his food intake to his daily commute to his sleep patterns. He is happier and healthier, he says; he has found a kind of technological mindfulness.

ROMAN ENGINEERING is a transmedia series consisting of eight documentaries for TV, an interactive website with 360, VR and AR videos and a complementary educational App for tablets. The series explains the rich legacy of innovation and invention of the Roman civilization and its role in building the vast Roman Empire.

The Romans were not only aware that water meant power, they also knew that health and well-being depended on it. That is why they were obsessed with finding the purest and most abundant water supplies possible, collecting it from wherever they found it and taking it to where it was needed. This obstinacy, combined with Roman ingenuity, could only give rise to prodigious constructions. These were unique structures, as the challenges of the terrain were different in each circumstance.

This episode travels back in time to the historical moment when the Romans decided where to locate some of the empire’s most important cities. It stops at the city of Nîmes, ancient Nemausus, and explains the magnificent challenge that involved building one of the most spectacular water supplies of antiquity.

Its irresistible attraction and ability to convince were greater than any military campaign. What caused the typical citizen of Rome to possess this incredible power?

This episode explains how Rome served as a model for the foundation of all the other cities in the empire.
