Technology Review: Radio Tags Provide Guidance: "The system could eventually be used in self-guided tours of places like museums, and as a way to give people directions in complicated and confusing buildings like medical centers. The method could be used in commercial products in less than two years, according to the researchers"

New Scientist: "'Interestingly, we found that the most efficient escape was when the door size was only large enough for one mouse to squeeze through, as it promoted self-organised queuing. However, as soon as the door width was increased, the mice stopped lining-up and competed with each other, which slowed down the overall escape rate,"

New Scientist: "The rise and fall of the sea, caused by the moon's gravitational tug on the Earth, could be generating electricity for hundreds of thousands of homes within five years if the new Norwegian power station proves successful."

New Scientist: "But the ban should not extend to therapeutic cloning - the creation of cloned cells which could form tissue for transplant into diseased or injured patients - they added."

New Scientist: "Physicists have created blobs of gaseous plasma that can grow, replicate and communicate - fulfilling most of the traditional requirements for biological cells. Without inherited material they cannot be described as alive, but the researchers believe these curious spheres may offer a radical new explanation for how life began."

Wired 11.10: How Ravenous Soviet Viruses Will Save the World: "They're called phages. And they eat drug-resistant bacteria for breakfast."

Wired News: Radio Tag Debut Set for This Week

New Scientist: "Imagine an internet connection so fast it will let you download a whole movie in just five seconds, or access TV-quality video servers in real time. That is the promise from a team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, who have developed a system called Fast TCP."

New Scientist: "A device akin to an inflatable sleeping bag could make the difference between life and death after a heart attack. Called a 'shock sheet', it works by squeezing blood out of the legs, which boosts blood flow to the heart and brain."

New Scientist: "Women are better at instant counting than men, a mass mathematical experiment has revealed."

New Scientist: "A simple blood test could be the first objective measure of how much pain someone is experiencing, the test's inventor claims."

Technology Review: "Researchers from the Japanese National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have fashioned nano thermometers from a magnesium oxide nanotubes filled with liquid gallium. The tiny thermometers are between 20 and 60 nanometers thick, or about one hundredth the diameter of a red blood cell."
