...woven fibers that offer greater strength and can maintain sail shape better in all directions, making the sail more able to adjust to wind changes. America 3's technical director, Heiner Meldner, a physicist who once designed nuclear weapons, says his sails are a composite of fibers, including carbon and liquid-crystal polymers. The Italians use a woven carbon-and-Kevlar fiber glued to a Mylar backing...
...researchers transplanted the gene for PHB from the bacteria into relatives of the mustard plant. Using energy from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air, the plants manufactured significant amounts of phb. Unfortunately, the process also stunted their growth. But eventually, Poirier expects, scientists will learn how to regulate the hybridization procedure well enough to keep these plastic producers healthy, and perhaps one day alleviate guilt over discarded bottles and wrappers...
Rescue workers described charred bodies hanging from unscorched trees, indicating that some of the victims were already burned when they fell out of the sky. Autopsies also disclosed lethal doses of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide in body tissues, proving that the fire and explosion occurred while the passengers were still breathing. I. Irving Pinkel, a former NASA expert who also investigated Apollo 1's fatal fire, found two fuselage holes with an "outward pucker," indicating an explosion from within. Finally, four members of the refueling crew swore there was no icing problem before the plane took...
