MIT-Developed Solar Panels

Researchers at the Massachusetts Instite of Technology (MIT) have created a solar panel that can be printed on a sheet of paper. This development makes the manufacture of solar panels are cheaper and easier.

The solar panel of this paper is quite strong although solar panel has been folded into a toy airplane. In addition, flexible solar panels that can be recharged when exposed to sunlight.

Printing process using a vapor, not liquid. With the use of a temperature of less than 120 degrees Celsius, allowing the use of paper, plastic, or cloth as a container ordinary solar panels. 

MIT Graduate Students to Innovate Through Technology and Education

Khan Academy is a free learning site, hosted by Salman Khan, a graduate of Harvad Business School and MIT. Salman Khan founded the Academy with the goal of using information technology to teach many things in the world. Khan utilize YouTube to broadcast the subject matter is delivered in typical audio-visual form. There is now more than 2400 more video lesson presented in this academy. And another great, Khan himself who made this whole video learning. It's excellent for an MIT graduate who is supposed to work in large companies, but are willing to devote himself to teach what he has to the world for free and certainly interesting. Khan Academy teaches many things, including mathematics, chemistry, biology, history, probability, trigonometry, brain teasers, algebra, economics, banking and money, finance, geometry, statistics, calculus, physics, differential equations. Of course there are many others.  

The Importance of Active Listening

The success of an organization or company, is determined by its leaders. Central circle of leadership is communication.
