HP Licenses Technology to Xtreme Energetics for Creation of Super-efficient Solar Energy System. HP and Xtreme Energetics announced they have entered into an agreement for the development of a solar energy system designed to generate electricity at twice the efficiency and half the cost of traditional solar panels. Under the technology collaboration and licensing agreement, HP will license its transparent transistor technology to XE in return for royalty payments. The transparent transistor technology that will be used in XE's solar energy device was co-developed by HP and Oregon State University. Forbes

OSU Professor Works to Improve Information System at Olympics. A computer science professor at Oregon State University will be participating in the Olympics in Beijing this summer – sort of. Although Carlos Jensen won’t be throwing the javelin, competing in beach volleyball or fencing, he will be doing research to make it easier for the more than 4,500 television and radio commentators who broadcast live from the Olympics to more accurately and instantly access data about the athletes and events while on the air.
