Dow Powerhouse Solar Shingles Could Finally Have You Hugging Trees
8:40AM Sean Fallon | Residential solar has two main obstacles — expense and aesthetics. Even if I could afford it, my landlord probably wouldn’t allow it. All of this could change thanks to Dow Solar Solutions and their Powerhouse shingles. More »

9:30AM Nick Broughall | One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s coverage of the new Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit at the Sydney powerhouse Museum is that it’s a merchandisers dream. And not just the regular Star Wars crap you can pick up at Go-Lo for a couple of bucks either – they’ve got full-sized Master Replica lightsabers, Lego sets (although not the Death Star diorama or the Millennium Falcon), R2-D2 plush back packs and more bobble-heads than I’ve ever seen gathered at one place at a time – seriously, if there was an earthquake, there would be enough bobbling to cause an aftershock just inside the Powerhouse.

2:45PM Nick Broughall | Sydneysiders bitter about the fact that the Game On gaming expo seemed to bunny hop right over the nation’s largest city can feel some relief today with the opening of the “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination” exhibition at the Powerhouse museum. The exhibit brings together props and costumes from all six of the Star Wars films, and combines them with interviews from key people involved in the production of the films. But then it combines all of that with an intelligent look at the science in the sci-fi, by showcasing just where we are today in creating some of the technologies of a Galaxy far, far away. More »
