“Força eletrostática é aquela que governa o movimento dos átomos. É a força que os faz colidir e desenvolver a energia de sustentação da vida de calor e luz, e que os faz se agregar em uma variedade infinita de maneiras, de acordo com os designs fantasiosos da Natureza, e formar todas essas estruturas maravilhosas que vemos ao nosso redor . É, de fato, se nossas visões atuais forem verdadeiras, a força mais importante que devemos considerar na Natureza. ” Nikola Tesla

“Electrostatic force is that which governs the motion of the atoms. It is the force which causes them to collide and develop the life-sustaining energy of heat and light, and which causes them to aggregate in an infinite variety of ways, according to Nature’s fanciful designs, and forms all these wondrous structures we see around us. It is, in fact, if our present views be true, the most important force for us to consider in Nature.”

–Nikola Tesla 

“Tesla, Marvel Of The Future.” Brooklyn Citizen, August 22, 1897.

Deep Blue’s checkmate turns 20.  

20 years ago today, IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer won a game of chess against the reigning world champion Garry Kasparov, and the world got a glimpse into the future of technology. 14 years later, IBM Watson prevailed against the champions of Jeopardy!. Since then, Watson has worked with everyone from artists to doctors to engineers and more to enhance the ways we work, learn and make. We’re excited to see what we’ll build together in the next 20+ years to come.
