While the wealth gap between rich and poor widened prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic recession, the past year has been a boon for the world's rich. Most billionaires have increased their personal wealth by billions, potentially widening the equality gap even further. While the world's working poor dream of economic stability, the 50 people on this list of youngest billionaires have it in their spades. The oldest billionaire walks in at 47, while the youngest, born in 1995, is only 26 years old. Stacker has compiled high net worth data from Forbes' real-time billionaires list as of March 17, 2021. and all age bonds were broken by the fortune. Includes those who received their billions as heirs to family wealth, as well as those who are self-made - although even many of the "self-made" wealthy of the world begin with many benefits in life, including seed capital from the family. Fortune comes from tech

Some materials, including metals, are made up of atoms tightly packed in a lattice or crystal. These structures are very good at conducting electricity and their behavior is often relatively easy to predict. Other materials such as plastics and other polymers show a strong disruption of their structures. Adam Willard, Associate Professor of Chemistry at MIT, would like to shed light on these disordered structures. Using theoretical models and powerful supercomputers, he is developing ways to simulate the properties of these disordered materials and predict their behavior. This type of modeling could help researchers replace heavy and brittle silicon-based photovoltaic cells with lightweight and flexible alternatives made entirely of plastic. "Our interest is genuinely to understand the role of molecular perturbations in physical processes that are important in both biology and energy sciences," said Willard, who recently received a tenur

Powerful innovations arise when societies focus on addressing their toughest problems. Our most recent and dramatic example was Operation Warp Speed, which helped accelerate the development of the Moderna vaccine and gave the United States a significant global advantage over the COVID-19 pandemic. Other examples of societies that benefit greatly from innovation from chronic problems are Japan's investment in robotics to cope with the shrinking workforce and India's development of inexpensive generics for a still largely low-income population. Southern California can take inspiration from these inspirational examples and focus much of its innovation and investment on addressing its chronic problem of harmful air pollution. Just this week, the American Lung Association released its annual State of the Air report, finding that the Los Angeles metropolitan area is the worst in the nation in terms of smog pollution. Counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles were

Every now and then I like to remind people of the need to wear seat belts in automobiles. Lately I have noticed an increasing number of reports of people being ejected from vehicles with fatal consequences. Which is almost always due to the fact that you are not wearing a seat belt. I installed one of the first seat belts in the area as a correspondent for the California newspaper Bakersfield and as a teenager. The California Highway Patrol began installing lap belts on their patrol cars in the mid-1950s when the Air Force discovered they were losing more troops to car accidents in the US than in Korea. Ford jumped on the train by building safer cars and installing the seat belts. Other manufacturers soon followed. Adoption was slow, with the usual fear and reluctance to change. When shoulder straps were introduced, some drivers complained of c

A history of constant activity is strongly linked to a reduced risk of severe Covid-19, according to a new study published Tuesday. The Kaiser Permanente study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, looked at nearly 50,000 adults with Covid-19. The study found that those who met the goal of the U.S. Department of Health's guidelines for physical activity - of at least 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity - had significantly fewer cases of hospitalization, ICU admissions, and death due to a Covid-19 disease. The guidelines, which are in line with the guidelines of many World Health Organization organizations, are based on research that supports the ability of physical activity to boost immune function, reduce systemic inflammation, improve pulmonary and cardiovascular health, and improve mental health . With a

“Meeting with the students [virtually] Discussing the challenges I had prepared was so inspiring because I saw that interest in science was piqued during our conversations, ”reflects Erick Eguia, a junior studying brain and cognitive science. Eguia had the unique experience of participating in a long-standing MISTI (International Science and Technology Initiatives) program at MIT in a new way - via Google Classroom for a group of eager students in Spain. Typically, during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), MIT-Spain's Global Teaching Labs (GTL) program sends over 40 students to high schools across Spain and Andorra to share MIT's hands-on approach to STEM education. MIT students, in turn, can learn about the diverse culture of Spain and practice their teaching, presentation, language and problem-solving skills. This year the program was reinvented and adapted due to Covid-19. MIT-Spain has been working with Fundació Tr @ ms, a non-profit

In last week's column, I wrote about the evolution of television and the role technology has played in following all kinds of sports. In 1958, I was thrilled to see one baseball game of the week on a 13-inch black and white TV. If I have the financial means today, I can watch virtually every single sporting event in the world, including my personal favorite, Corn Hole, on a flat-screen TV the size of a garage door. Boy, that's progress, isn't it? You might be surprised to learn that I actually helped introduce the computer to Tehama County. In 1964, at the age of 19, Bruce Sale and I were caretakers at the Diamond International Corporate Offices on Diamond Avenue. I'm not sure why, but along with staff members Cherry Smith Mealer, Helen Robson, Plant Comptroller CC "Red" Caylor, and Plant President Bill Jones, Bruce and I attended a weekend seminar where we discussed a brand new Wiz Bang informed computers larger than a caravan.

Firms like Uber, Doordash say their workers enjoy the flexibility of the gig economy; Working groups fear the creation of an underclass. With the growing threat of a new U.S. government insisting on classifying hail and grocery suppliers as full-benefit employees, gig economy companies like Uber, Lyft, Doordash and Instacart are pushing for their drivers' status as independent contractors to be retained, albeit with additional benefits. Those companies, whose business models are based on low-cost flexible labor, argue that surveys show that the majority of their workers do not want to be workers and that a new generation of workers want to choose when and how much they want to work. They hope to convince US officials and lawmakers to drop attempts to classify gig workers as white-collar workers. These efforts have become more urgent with the election of US President Joe Biden, who stood up for the promise to benefit gig workers. US Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh intensified

When most people think of the Marine Corps, they think of an elite war organization. What most don't think is how the Marine Corps fits into the information age and the ever-evolving operating environment of science and technology. Captain John Geldmacher, the technical information operations officer for the I Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group (MIG), also holds the science, technology and experimentation officer's collateral ticket. Geldmacher joined the Marine Corps as an intelligence officer, but was selected for the Commander's Career Level Education Board (CCLEB). This enabled him to attend and obtain a Masters degree from the Post Naval Graduate School in Monterey, California. As a Technical Information Operations Officer, Geldmacher creates connections between technical specialists, information-related sk
