ARD on show at Cité de l'Espace
ESA's Atmospheric Re-entry Demonstrator has now arrived at Cité de l'Espace in Toulouse, France where it will form part of the Ariane 5 launcher exhibit. The ARD is Europe's first step towards developing a re-entry vehicle so that people and equipment can be sent into space - and brought back safely. The ARD was launched in October 1998... view more... (2002-06-05)
Safety belts in police cars may be life threatening
Two new tests by VTI (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) have investigated traffic safety for police in their cars. The hypothesis that the personal equipment or the uniform might affect the function of the seat belt in a collision was put to test. The study points out that an alternative, professional use of vehicles ought to... view more... (2005-05-16)
Tyre sensor will increase driver safety / caesar Research Center at the Hanover Fair
You break on black ice or on a wet highway, friction is almost zero and your car goes into a skid: A scenario which will be avoided in future. Scientists at the caesar Research Center in Bonn are developing a new technology for improving vehicle safety still further. At the Hanover Fair caesar will be presenting from April 7 to 12, 2003, on the... view more... (2003-04-02)
Teens making poor choices when it comes to riding in vehicles
Injury prevention experts have long known that teens are less likely than other motorists to wear seat belts while driving. Now, researchers from the Meharry-State Farm Alliance at Meharry Medical College have discovered lack of seat belt use by teen passengers may be an even bigger problem. view more (2008-08-28)
NASA-funded robotic sub finds bottom of world's deepest sinkhole
A robotic vehicle designed for underwater exploration plunged repeatedly into the depths of Mexico's mysterious El Zacaton sinkhole in late May, finding its previously undiscovered bottom 318 meters below the surface and generating a sonar map of its inner dimensions. view more (2007-06-01)

The sex life of a mosquito and how it can affect us all
A new type of mosquitoes has been found among the United States population of Culex pipiex, a species known to transmit the West Nile virus, claim scientists in the journal Science. This new population might help to explain why the United States has suffered several epidemics of the disease while only sporadic cases occur elsewhere in the world.... view more... (2004-03-26)
Invasive species alter habitat to their benefit
When scientists study habitats that alien species have invaded, they usually find predictable patterns. The diversity of native species declines, and changes occur in natural processes such as nutrient cycling, wildfire frequency and the movement of water through the system. view more (2006-08-10)
