Explosive reactions: a backlash from a nuclear espionage case might hurt science and do little to bolster national security

Article Abstract:

The political response to an alleged espionage at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico could undermine efforts to stabilize the global nuclear balance of power and hamper science. Arms control experts argued that drastic measures, notably banning foreign scientists from visiting nuclear laboratories in the US, will not enhance national security in a significant way and could be a bane to basic science.

EVERYDAY EINSTEIN: finding your way out of the woods with GPS? Hanging a picture frame with a laser level? Making photocopies? Better thank Einstein

Article Abstract:

The article presents contemporary uses and applications of Albert Einstein's theories and inventions, including global positioning systems and lasers. A leakless electromagnetic pump he invented for refrigeration cooling, however, was rendered obsolete before it could be utilized.
