Happiness: There's an app for that
The day of the Boston Marathon was the saddest day in nearly 5 years of observations by a team of scientists from the University of Vermont and The MITRE Corporation. Their on-line "hedonometer" -- an online sensing device -- shows a steep drop in global happiness associated with the bombings at the race. For the first time, results from the hedonometer are being made available to the public for free at a new website.

Ceramic foam cleans up exhaust gases
The introduction next year of the Euro 6 exhaust-gas standard means that catalytic converters will become more expensive, above all for diesel vehicles. Empa is working on a catalytic substrate made of ceramic foam which, because of its structure, is more efficient and therefore more economic. Not only that -- it also requires less noble metal coating.
