But of course, he couldn't continue along this line...
...solutions. Called "energy innovation hubs," they would be patterned after AT&T Bell Laboratories, the famed research centers where Chu did much of the work that won him a Nobel Prize in Physics. Each hub would have a different energy focus, but scientists from different disciplines could meet and interact, and hopefully speed scientific progress. For the Department of Energy, which generally focuses on nuclear weapons, the hubs would represent a chance to start anew with energy research. "This allows you to begin a process of major experimentation with new paradigms," says Muro...
...therapists point out that human beings have evolved in synchrony with nature for millions of years and that we are hard-wired to interact with our environment - with the air, water, plants, other animals.

At its entryway is a collection of odd video games developed at the lab, including one that allows visitors to interact with a digitally generated infant. Inside, researchers dress in blue jeans and polo shirts instead of the usual white coats, and converse in a room with movable walls. ITRI's managers encourage its Ph.D.s to spend time in the lab to help them develop new ideas. Last year...
