A boost for high flyers
Article Abstract:
The high-energy cosmic rays constantly striking the earth's atmosphere from space reach their extreme velocities through collisions with the Milky Way Galaxy's irregular magnetic fields. Through stochastic examination of spectral data D.A. Bryant and colleagues confirmed Fermi's hypothesis that cosmic rays are composed of particles that get their energy from head-on collisions with moving magnetic 'mirrors' in the interstellar medium. Finding out the cosmic rays' exact composition is necessary for a further advance in knowledge.

The wireless revolution
Article Abstract:
There has been a rapid rise in demand for mobile telecommunications services in Europe. In Finland, for example, 53% of all telephones are now mobile. New mobile markets continue to emerge. The most recent of these is prepaid mobile telephones, which now represent 80% of new sales for some service providers. The expansion of mobile telecommunications is set to have a significant impact on the way people think about the telephone, as well as overcoming barriers of physical geography.
