Some of her recent acquisitions include digital typefaces, video games, computer interfaces, and even the @ symbol. She joins Ira to show off five of MoMA’s latest additions, including a micro-controller and DIY maker kit.

If you try to remember all of the U.S. presidents, how many can you name? Most likely you’ll remember Obama, Bush, Clinton…but what about Carter and Coolidge?

The United Nations climate meetings began this week in Peru, a dress rehearsal of sorts for treaty talks in Paris next year. But whether world leaders forge a deal or not, Scientific American's David Biello and environmental economist Robert Stavins say the fight against climate change has already begun—at the state and local level, and in the private sector.

An early test version of NASA’s Orion crew capsule launched from Cape Canaveral on Friday and splashed down in the Pacific four-and-a-half hours later—a flight a NASA spokesman called “picture perfect.” The test launch was designed to examine how the craft handles the forces of launch and re-entry. While NASA has said the craft marks an important step towards exploration beyond Earth, some critics have challenged Orion’s usefulness. Eric Berger, a science reporter for the Houston Chronicle, discusses the test launch and the changing landscape of the spaceflight industry.
