- Description
- The capture and storage of solar energy at the individual level - personalized solar energy - drives inextricably towards the heart of this energy challenge by addressing the triumvirate of secure, carbon neutral and plentiful energy. Because energy use scales with wealth, point-of-use solar energy will put individuals, in the smallest village in the non-legacy world and in the largest city of the legacy world, on a more level playing field. Moreover, personalized energy (PE) is secure because it is highly distributed and the individual controls the energy on which she/he lives. Finally, the doubling of global energy need by mid-century and tripling by 2100 is driven by three billion low-energy users in the non-legacy world and by three billion people yet to inhabit the planet over the next half century. By developing an inexpensive 24/7 solar energy system for the individual, a carbon-neutral energy supply for 1 × 6 billion becomes available.

- New research from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences takes a page from economics to predict whether scientific experiments can be replicated. Researchers used prediction markets — investment platforms that reward traders for correctly predicting future events — to estimate the reproducibility of more than 40 experiments published in psychology journals. The researchers found that prediction markets correctly predicted replicability in 71 percent of the cases studied.
Prediction markets, also known as future markets, can spot and combat errors and fraud in scientific research.

- In mid-July, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto after a 9½-year journey. But really this historic encounter has been 85 years in the making, ever since 24-year-old Clyde Tombaugh discovered this enigmatic body at the edge of our planetary system. Today we realize that Pluto is among the largest objects in the Kuiper Belt, even though initially it was believed to be a body perhaps as massive as Earth. This presentation traces the history of Pluto — from predictions of its existence, to the discovery of its moons, to its “demotion” to dwarf-planet status — and explores the amazing, unexpected findings revealed by New Horizons.

- Can symbolic awards motivate individuals to contribute their ideas and knowledge to a common project? Jana Gallus presents results from a large-scale natural field experiment at Wikipedia, exploring whether a purely symbolic award scheme can be used to motivate new editors and thus mitigate Wikipedia's editor retention problem. In a new project, she seeks to understand how awards have to be designed in order to enhance their recipients' self-confidence in gender-incongruent fields and encourage high-ability individuals to contribute their ideas.
