Georgia Tech Jumps the Curve
If you want to see where the future is headed one of the best things you can do is keep a close eye on what is going on at some of the leading universities around the world. In this regard, a great deal of attention is usually focused on MIT, Harvard and Cal-Berkeley, but there are a few other universities worth watching. One of my personal favorites is Georgia Tech.
Earlier this week, researchers there announced progress in developing a technology to capture, store and eventually eventually recycle carbon from automobiles. I have written about this idea before but if Georgia Tech can successfully create a more sustainable carbon-based economy it would have huge ramifications for not only the automobile and energy industries but the world economy.
And in another stunning development announced just yesterday, Georgia Tech scientists are now making great strides in producing a new nano-fiber that could some day allowing your clothing to power everything from electronics to tiny biosensors inside your body. This is the type of research that executives in the biomedical, energy and fashion industries need to be paying close attention to now—especially if they hope to jump the curve to tomorrow’s exponential economy.
