Man-made quakes could lead to safer, sturdier buildings Earthquakes never occur when you need one, so a team led by Johns Hopkins structural engineers is shaking up a building themselves in the name of science and safety. Using massive moving platforms and an array of sensors and cameras, the researchers are trying to find out how well a two-story building made of cold-formed steel can stand up to a lab-generated Southern California quake.

Space station OPALS points to ramped up returns for research Current spacecraft send data to Earth using radio frequency, but the Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science will test the use of laser optics to transfer information to the ground. The switch from radio frequency to a laser beam -- which can be hundreds to thousands of times narrower in comparison to radio waves -- could improve communication data rates by a factor of 10 to 100.

The invisible driver Fully autonomous cars may still be the stuff of science fiction. Remote driving technology, however, may be much closer than we think. Scientists at the Technische Universität München believe that full-size remote control cars could be hitting the roads within the next five to ten years. So if your next rental car turns up to your door driverless, the chances are that the actual driver is sitting in the car rental headquarters.

Catching aerosols in a CATS eye Weather satellites do a phenomenal job of monitoring clouds, air temperatures, moisture and other factors. But measuring aerosols, whose role in weather and climate is a significant mystery, requires probing the air by using light in a manner similar to radar. This will be the job of the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System investigation aboard the International Space Station. Contact: Julie A. Robinson

BMC Public HealthProtocol for a clinical study on reduced toxicant prototype cigarettes published British American Tobacco has published the protocol for a clinical study designed to determine whether using reduced-toxicant prototype cigarettes that reduce smokers' exposure to smoke toxicants impacts biological effect (ISRCTN81286286). This clinical study follows a previous shorter-term study and will assess whether reduced exposure can be maintained over the longer term and whether exposure reduction results in detectable changes in biological effect.
