Silent Aircraft
The Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI) is today launching a unique project to design a 'silent' aircraft.
CMI's 'Silent Aircraft' project has a bold aim: to discover ways to reduce aircraft noise dramatically, to the point where it would be virtually unnoticeable to people outside the airport perimeter in a typical built-up area.

Rauchen ist größtenteils eine Eigenschaft dummer Menschen
Wie das Deutsche Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ/Heidelberg) nun berichtet hat, ist der Griff zur Zigarette wesentlich öfter bei ungebildeten Menschen der Fall als bei intelligenten Menschen.
So rauchen 64 Prozent der Hauptschüler im Alter von 18 und 19 Jahren. Gymnasiasten in demselben Alter greifen nur zu 39 Prozent zum Glimmstengel. Martina Pötschke-Langer vom deutschen WHO-Zentrum erklärte jedoch, dass dies nicht immer so war.

Doctors' Ties are Dirty
A newly released study has found that nearly half the ties worn by doctors harbour bacteria known to cause hospital acquired infections. Security guards had much cleaner ties, with only 1 in 10 harbouring germs.

Designer Virus Stalks HIV
It took Adam Arkin and David Schaffer just $200,000 and a grad student to develop a potential treatment for AIDS. And that scares them.
That's because the therapy itself is a virus. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory assistant professors created a virus altered to latch onto HIV and mute its ability to become AIDS. They've tested the theory in a computer model, and in cells in a dish. The results have been promising, and if they continue in that vein, the researchers could begin animal testing by the end of this year.

Australian scientists claim breakthrough in teleportation
Teleportation always used to seem so simple. All it took was a quick call to Mr Scott, and Star Trek's Captain Kirk would be beamed up from the cheap-looking scenery of some alien planet and materialise on the Starship Enterprise.
These days it's all about lasers, subatomic particles and very hard sums, but one Australian research team's world-beating discoveries in the field seem almost as far-fetched as the science fiction version.
