Even more fundamentally, the digital economy's infrastructure has advanced basic material science and classes of machine tools that have led directly to the new high-power electronics (enabling hybrids) and to big, cheap flat-panel, thin-film PVs (derived from the massive thin-film machines that make flat-panel-TVs).
The state of the ocean today should be the tipping point that wakes us up from the trance of consumption that we haven lulled into complacency with, and which sends us into a new era of material science, bio and ocean degradability, and new re-use technologies.
"Panguite is an especially exciting discovery since it is not only a new mineral, but also a material previously unknown to science, " study researcher Chi Ma, a senior scientist at Caltech, said in a statement.
Though occasionally the Scientific American pile got upturned by an eleven-year-old searching for science-project material, as far as I could tell the National Geographic pile was never disturbed by its owners, and was there merely to ascend, ever higher.
There are numerous unsolved problems with the material, though, as this science blog, among many others, explains.

The kids who participate in the videos are not fed scripts, rather they are expected to learn the material and become the teachers, bringing science to life for the students exposed to their content.
We have one life in the solid material world that is most perfectly measured by science.
Instead, it's compatible with "Mobipocket" books, a digital format that offers more than 100, 000 titles, though many are noncopyrighted classics, romance novels and science fiction--hardly the material recommended by Oprah's book club.
On the strength of Erector's success, Gilbert branched out into microscopes, chemistry sets and a nuclear science kit containing a small sample of radioactive material.
Andraka, born in 1997, is a science prodigy who has been engaged in inquiry with the material world since he was three.

FORBES: Ourpalm Tops Forbes China's Ranking Of Publicly Traded Up-And-Coming Companies
Late last month, two national science organizations threw up a last-minute roadblock, refusing permission to use their copyrighted material in Kansas state guidelines, but as NPR's Greg Allen reports, that won't stop Kansas from adopting science standards that critics say constitute an attack on evolution.
Science, which appeals to both children and adults, seems to be good theme-park material.
The potential applications for medical science are impressive enough, but consider this additional benefit: since the droplets contain no genetic material, scientists can completely sidestep all the ethical red tape surrounding the alternative stem cell approach to artificial tissue.
Because of those changes, the groups that wrote the national science standards on which Kansas had based its version now says the state can't use its copyrighted material.
In my case, I spent three years reading and writing about the latest research in psychology, behavioral science and neuroscience, and spoke with leading minds in those and additional disciplines to get traction on the material.
