NYU researchers explore how power influences interpretation
A newly completed New York University study of public reaction to the 9/11 attacks concludes that people in positions of power, from government officials to managers working on Wall Street to military personnel, tended to interpret the events in more abstract terms and with more certainty and positivity than ordinary individuals. view more (2009-08-10)
Dr David Shannon unhappy with scientists` advising of the government on foot and mouth - In February`s Science & Public Affairs
Main story in this month’s Science & Public Affairs: DEFRA’s newly retired chief scientist Dr David Shannon says he is unhappy with the way scientists advised government on foot and mouth. “The committee which advised the Government’s Chief Scientist, Professor David King, during the foot and mouth outbreak, had... view more...

Portable power plants
Running a laptop or other electrical equipment causes a problem when there is no access to a mains supply: If the battery runs out, where can you recharge it? This is a particularly thorny issue if, for example, your work takes you out on the road or involves spending lots of time on construction sites. In the long run spare batteries do not... view more... (2003-04-04)
Sandia computer simulation monitors traffic in contraband nuclear material
A Sandia National Laboratories researcher has developed a simulation program designed to track the illicit trade in fissile and nonfissile radiological material well enough to predict who is building the next nuclear weapon and where they are doing it. view more (2007-01-18)

Solar Energy: Electricity Out Of A Helicopter Turbine
The mountains of Armenia seem to have been created for electric power stations working on solar energy. The scientists at the Radio Physical Research Institute have chosen a ground on Aragats mountain, which is 40 km to the west of Yerevan and situated 1750m above sea level. Southern mountain Sun is a good source of cheap energy. It rises 73... view more... (2001-08-24)
Is it a bird? ... Is it a plane? ... No, it’s SID!
Skylines across Britain could change forever thanks to an ingenious device engineered by two schoolboys who won the prestigious title of Young Engineers for Britain 2001 in London, UK, this week.
