2008-02-11 22:13:00 Crude historical depictions of African Americans as ape-like may have disappeared from mainstream U.S. culture, but research presented in a new paper by psychologists at Stanford, Pennsylvania State University and the University of California-Berkeley reveals that many Americans subconsciously associate blacks with apes.In addition, the findings show that society is more likely to condone violence against black criminal suspects as a result of its broader inability to accept African Americans as fully human, according to the researchers.Co-author Jennifer Eberhardt, a Stanford associate professor of psychology who is black, said she was shocked by the results, particularly since they involved subjects born after Jim Crow and the civil rights movement. "This was actually some of the most depressing work I have done," she said. "This shook me up. You have suspicions when you do the work?intuitions?you have a hunch.

BMW's Hydrogen Auto Demo at Stanford University
2007-06-07 10:19:00 BMW's hydrogen hopes to proclaim BMW's hydrogen engine as the universal blueprint for the 21st century car. Other auto makersFrom DaimlerChrysler to General Motors Corp., most are working on fuel cells that use hydrogen to produce electricity to run electric motors. But BMW's entry burns hydrogen in an only slightly modified version of the internal combustion engine that has powered cars for more than a century. BMW expects to put a model on the market in 2008.The dilemma facing BMW is that if most carmakers go for fuel-cell technology, that's what will become the industry standard. BMW risks missing out on technological breakthroughs in fuel-cell research, with GM has teamed up with Toyota, and Ford with DaimlerChrysler.One problem the entire industry faces is that hydrogen is not widely available.
