Publisher's Summary:

Our tech lives are full of pain points, but at least the worlds tech geniuses seem committed to solving them. Today who complains about the things that bugged us a decade ago, such as heavy laptops, slow cellular Internet, the inability to do e-mail in planes? It was only a matter of time before those geniuses started tackling one of the longest-running pain points in history: passwords. Were supposed to create a long, complex, unguessable password - capital and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, with a few Arabic letters thrown in if possible. For each site. Dont reuse a password. Oh, and change them all every month. Sorry, security experts. Not possible. Not for an average person, not even for you. Nobody has that kind of memory.

"The End of Passwords" is from the August 2016 issue of Scientific American.

Title: The Unbelievable Reality of the Impossible Hyperloop

Author: Ryan Bradley

Narrator: Joe Knezevich

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-24-16

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

The tube was out back, 11 feet in diameter, 60 feet long, the unfinished end spiraling into wide ribbons of steel - like a gigantic Pillsbury dough container with its seams gaping open. Behind the tube was a big blue tent known as the robot school, where autonomous welders wheel or crawl along, making the tubes airtight. The goal is to put tracks and electromagnets inside the tube and vacuum most of the air out. Ultimately, capsules are meant to scream through the center of such a tube at 700 miles per hour on a cushion of air, pulling themselves along with a fan and getting extra propulsion from the magnets - a way to get from A to B faster and more efficiently than planes or trains. At another site, in North Las Vegas, the first, partial tests of that concept, albeit on an open-air track, are already under way.

"The Unbelievable Reality of the Impossible Hyperloop" is from the July/August 2016 issue of Technology Review.

Title: Jumping Gene Darkened Moths

Author: Tina Hesman Saey

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-15-16

Publisher: Science News

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Peppered moths and some copycat butterflies owe their color changes to a single gene, two new studies suggest. A tweak in a portion of the cortex gene painted the speckled gray wings of peppered moths black, researchers report. Genetic variants in DNA interspersed with and surrounding the cortex gene also helped some tasty species of Heliconius butterfly mimic unpalatable species, a second team of scientists reports.

"Jumping Gene Darkened Moths" is from the June 25, 2016 issue of Science News.

Title: How Dirty Is Your Air?

Author: Simson Garfinkel

Narrator: Elizabeth Wells

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-10-16

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Air particulates are invisible, but a new generation of indoor air monitors makes it easy to know the air quality instantaneously and take immediate corrective action. In my familys case, we learned that turning on the exhaust fan helps - it lowers the PM2.5 from 250 to 100 micrograms per cubic meter, but getting the number below 50 required opening windows in the front and back of the house to get cross ventilation. Of course, opening the window only works if the outdoor air is cleaner than the indoor air - something thats usually the case, but not always.

Length: 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-25-16

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Computers generated a great deal of excitement in the 1950s when they began to beat humans at checkers and to prove math theorems. In the 1960s the hope grew that scientists might soon be able to replicate the human brain in hardware and software and that "artificial intelligence" would soon match human performance on any task. In 1967 Marvin Minsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who died earlier this year, proclaimed that the challenge of AI would be solved within a generation.

"Machines Who Learn" is from the June 2016 issue of Scientific American.

Title: The Fog of Agent Orange

Author: Charles Schmidt

Narrator: Jef Holbrook

Format: Unabridged

Length: 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-25-16

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Agent Orange was a defoliant sprayed by the US during the Vietnam War to clear dense vegetation and reveal enemy troops. It was contaminated with dioxin, a potent toxicant that persists for decades in the environment. Danhs grandfather fought in the heavily sprayed Central Highlands, and his father worked at the former US air base in Da Nang, where dioxin was later discovered in the ducks and fish eaten frequently by local villagers. Dioxin has been associated with human cancers, heart disease and other health problems in people who are exposed. But Lien firmly believes her son inherited the toxic legacy of her father and grandfathers exposure.

"Einstein of the Sea" is from the June 2016 issue of Scientific American.
