Virtual crash dummy to make driving much safer


Automakers have been crashing test dummies to gain insight into how safety systems protect or fail to protect people during car accidents. But these dummies made out of plastic and steel, not tissue and bone, have their limitations. Now a virtual dummy being developed by two engineering teams with University of Virginia (UVa) Centre for Biomechanics, will make driving much safer. These virtual dummies,...

Updating the Science of Global Warming: A Q&A with Marine Biologist Katherine Richardson


ARTICLEURL A lot of the current debate seems to center around cost. So what will it cost? A lot of people go around saying this isn't going to cost us anything. This is cheap. It's not. We just are going to have to stop thinking of investment in the environment and climate change as being opposed to economic growth. [For] economic growth in the future, a prerequisite is that we stop treating...

Updating the Science of Global Warming: A Q&A with Marine Biologist Katherine Richardson


ARTICLEURL Will it be a consensus document? The scientific community is notoriously divided. But we will speak with one voice. And there will be a review process by outside researchers of this synthesis document to make sure that it is the best science. There will be mechanisms to make sure that this is not just one researcher's opinion. But the strength of the IPCC is that it's not just the scientists,...

Stem cells for 10 disorders created


US stem cell experts have produced a library of the powerful cells using ordinary skin and bone marrow cells from patients. They used a new method to re-program ordinary cells so they look and act like embryonic stem cells - the master cells of the body with the ability to produce any type of tissue or blood cell.

Point Me in the Right Direction, Please - Magnets and Compasses


For centuries sailors knew how to use magnets in the form of compasses to show them where they were going. Compasses are fascinating instruments. In fact, when thinking about it, the concept of a magnetic field on the surface of the earth, which is what allows compasses to function, is in itself a fascinating phenomenon. Although fascinating, a compass is very simple in the way that it works. A magnet,...

Fun Science Projects - Make a Burglar Alarm


Fun science projects are those that teach you something about science and at the same time allow you to make something useful and fun. This is one of those projects! The job of a burglar alarm is basically to tell you when someone who shouldn't be in your house has come in - not so. And where will these nasties come in? Through a door or window - right?
