Description
We talk about chirality, how some molecules have left-handed properties and others have right-handed properties. It turns out that electrons, carrying energy and information vital to life, spin in different directions when interacting with these two types of molecules and harnessing that effect could lead to big advances in energy production, agriculture and medicine. Our panelists are two of the leading researchers in the field: Dr. Ron Naaman of the Weizman Institute of Science and Dr. Moh El Naggar of the University of Southern California. In a “Town Talk” at the Transfer Warehouse in Telluride, they were interviewed by award-winning broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.
As climate change worsens, the need for a transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources gets more urgent. But clean energy often has its own environmental costs. The risks posed by nuclear reactors and mining lithium for batteries are well known, but our speaker, Dr. Peter Ladwig, a...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that's 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. And unvortunately, methane concentrations in our atmosphere are rapidly increasing. Yet, methane may also offer a potential climate solution. With a much shorter half-life than CO2, reductions in methane pack a punch....
