Einstein's drag: two satellites reveal how Earth's rotation warps space-time

Article Abstract:

An international team of Italian, Greek-American and Spanish researchers have hit upon a novel idea to measure the Lense-Thirring effect. The researchers utilized two satellite systems which accounted for gravitational perturbations to measure space-time warp as the Earth rotates.

Defensive eating

Article Abstract:

Vaccinating the world's poor is a grave problem as drugs often lose their efficacy in the heat due to lack of refrigeration. Edible vaccines offer great advantages as they do not need cold for conservation and should be given in capsules containing desiccated leaf extract.

Burning times for hot fusion: plasma physics

Article Abstract:

The International Thermonuclear Experiment Reactor will proceed despite the US withdrawal of funding in 1997. A smaller, 27-meter-high design with a reduced goal of 10-times amplification is planned.
