For years Bangladesh and India fought over who owned the 2 mile long, 1.5 mile wide piece of land known as New Moore Island in the Bay of Bengal, but according to oceanographer Sugata Hazra, “What theses two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming.”
New Moore Island was swallowed by the sea less than a month ago. This is not the first time an island in the Bay of Bengal has disappeared into the ocean, in 1996 Lohachara became submerged, displacing its inhabitants onto the mainland. These islands are “sinking” due to the ever increases rising of sea level. According to AP, up until the year 2000 sea level rose only 0.12 inches per year but now, ten years later, the sea rises 0.2 inches each year. This rise puts ten other islands around New Moore Island at risk of meeting the same fate.
The country of Bangladesh is at risk as well. It is estimated that 18 percent of the country’s coastline will be completely under water by 2050, forcing 20 million people out of their homes.
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
