A new university will open in the San Francisco Bay area in June that will focus on the world’s biggest problems, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Singularity University, created by the famed Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis, will be based on the NASA Ames base near Mountain View. The two scientists are scheduled to announce the university today at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference in Long Beach.

The school hopes to attract students across diverse disciplines such as nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology, to work on issues like global health care concerns, robotics, and new computer networks using nontraditional methods, according to the article.
