The 20th-century flowering of Third World "folk arts" has been driven largely by Western demands, materials and technologies of production.
Replacement and reconstruction are increasingly necessary for obsolete materials and technologies.
Materials and technologies that are suited for a vacuum, zero gravity, and extreme cold and heat are not the ones we typically can use on Earth.
That's because even though designers have new materials and technologies, they still have to solve the same problems that astronauts face whenever they leave the safety of a spacecraft.
Oh, and they decided to build the airplane out of plastic along with other novel materials and technologies, so it would have been a big experiment even if Boeing approached manufacturing like it always had.
We are confident that our competitive advantages in materials science and deposition technologies, as well as our know-how in digital imaging, will enable us to capitalize on those opportunities and extend our leadership in key growth markets.
ENGADGET: Kodak to sell the film business that made it so famous (update)
The new ruling, passed June 3, gives Brazilian government owned power company Eletrobras (EBR), along with national and international equipment partners, the ability to buy capital goods, building materials, infrastructure materials and nuclear industry specific technologies for use in energy generation without having to pay the IPI, or industrial production tax, nor tariffs on imported goods.
In the past we talked about "dual use" military-civilian technologies, but truth be told, not much of what's in a bomb migrates back to a BMW. However, the money flowing into military and homeland infra-structure security will leverage revolutionary technologies and materials of the new digital age.
At the annual International Builders' Show in Las Vegas this week, tens of thousands, suppliers, distributors and builders convened to examine new innovations in home-building materials, appliances, fixtures and technologies.
The hinge technology will have to be an engineering marvel, and making the folding crease of the screen invisible will pose problems in materials, optics, and touch technologies.
The system has been developed with the Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining, an organisation that develops materials technologies.
It all was done in collaboration with the San Communities, whose representatives were trained to work with audio-visual and textual technologies to generate information and communication materials from their perspective.
India used just such technologies and materials for its first nuclear explosion in 1974.
To do this, the engineering team has had to use new technologies and materials.
"The building will be especially careful about sustainability using all the techniques, technologies and materials and method of construction to reach environmental sustainability, " she said.
These architects are engaging what and how we build in terms of the achievements of the 20th-century revolution in aesthetics and technology and the equally revolutionary opportunities provided by incredibly rapid developments in materials and computer-aided building technologies.
As more governments look to civilian nuclear power as a source of clean electricity, tighter controls and other new schemes are needed to help stop would-be cheats or terrorists from exploiting or stealing some of the proliferation-prone technologies and materials for bomb-building.
It operates through four segments, namely Specialty Ingredients, Water Technologies, Performance Materials and Consumer Markets.
Silicon photonics made with inexpensive silicon rather than expensive and exotic optical materials provides a distinct cost advantage over older optical technologies in addition to providing greater speed, reliability and scalability benefits.
ENGADGET: Facebook's Open Compute Project splits up monolithic servers with help from Intel, more
It will develop orbiting fuel depots, rendezvous-and-docking technologies, advanced life-support systems that recycle all of their materials, and better motors for spacecraft.
ECONOMIST: A plan to overhaul America��s space agency is long overdue
In 2007, Chevron-Texaco's venture capital arm bought significant stakes in two solar energy companies: BrightSource Energy, a developer of utility-scale solar plants, and Konarka Technologies, a developer of photovoltaic materials.
Both firms have developed organic electronic materials that are soluble and so can be deposited using screen printing and inkjet technologies.
With the rise of biotechnology and other advances, many patented technologies are based on biological or other materials that are by nature replicable, making illicit copying as tempting as it is easy.
FORBES: The Supreme Court Is About To Shape The Future Of Innovation
It's currently being evaluated for emerging technologies such as flexible structural health monitoring systems, self-healing materials, and radiation-protective materials.
Other competitors in the basic materials sector include: Innophos Holdings (IPHS), Sensient Technologies Corporation (SXT), and Balchem (BCPC).
FORBES: Earnings Preview: International Flavors & Fragrances - Forbes
Other competitors in the basic materials sector include: Alcoa (AA), Haynes International (HAYN), and Allegheny Technologies (ATI).
Scientists can thus create new building blocks that produce materials with the exact properties they desire, which are smaller, stronger and lighter than the current technologies.
FORBES: Nanotechnology: Expanding Clean Energy and Easing Fuel Shortages
We are working with other governments to secure nuclear materials in the former Soviet Union and to strengthen global treaties banning the production and shipment of missile technologies and weapons of mass destruction.
Technologies on display ranged from solar powered water purification units to military vehicles using next generation materials and energy sources to light weight batteries that can give better range and endurance.
