in Vancouver. The backs of park benches have become billboards for Raincity Housing, a nonprofit that helps the homeless. But they ;re not just advertisements for a homeless shelter. Some of the ads actually transform into little shelters. Find Shelter Here reads the convertible billboard. When you flip it up, y

Another ad reads This is a bench during the day, but thanks to some glow-in-the-dark paint, lights up at night to read, This is a bedroom. The Raincity logo also appears. It

But it also a little bit counterproductive, or at least inefficient; people aren ;t usually stuck out on the street because they aren ;t aware of a homeless shelter. It more likely to be choice, or some either reason, but probably not lack of awareness. And it one thing to avoid making benches impossible to sleep on, but anoth

in Zurich, marrying the two is becoming almost commonplace: microprocessors with water coursing through microchannels carved deep inside them are already crunching data in SuperMUC, an IBM supercomputer with the heat that the water carries away used to warm nearby buildings. And last week, on an unseasonally sunny Zurich rooftop, IBM went public before begoggled journalists with a demo of the technology newest application: a solar energy-generating microchip array whose waste heat might one day

The firm has long promised this system, and it still a work in progress, but it has now reached a form that can be demonstrated. The trick with a concentrated photovoltaic CPV system like IBM is to place a high-performance electricity-generating solar cell array at the focal point of a dish that collects sunlight unlike a solar concentrator, which focuses a field of sun-tracking mirrors onto a steam generator that drives a turbine . In IBM
