Grand Challenges for Engineering

Fusion Power: Will it Ever Come?, William E. Parkins, Science Magazine, updated March 10, 2006, accessed September 14, 2015 is an article related to attaining fusion power, one of the challenges proposed by the NAE. It notes that despite the ability of modern nuclear power plants to generate electricity from controlled fission reactions, for many practical reasons fusion power still cannot be controlled.

MATLAB Demonstrations

I found the MATLAB version on John Conway's Game of Life to be the most interesting example, as I had already had prior knowledge of John Conway when I looked at the demonstration.
