...life-saving device spawned from space design could also help planetary researchers justify their funding. "People always tell you space missions produce spin-offs," says Pillinger. But, in reality, they yield few applications in everyday industry. With portable GCMS, "Everywhere we go, people say, 'I can see an application for it.'" Indeed, Morgan and his team are now building GCMS units to test for drugs in breath samples, bladder cancer in urine samples, pollutants in reservoir water, and more. And Pillinger? He's cut back on work since being diagnosed in 2005 with progressive multiple sclerosis. But his eyes have...
...musical compositions. Hans Zimmer protégé Mark Mancina carefully scores the film, and he does an excellent job of capturing Rush’s internal musical monologue. Rush processes his emotions and his surroundings into dreamy harmony: it’s possible to feel the music turn everyday noises into a symphony.

THE HERE AND NOW Experience means very little as a new coach, in a new league, with a new team. Having a team buy into your philosophy is worth much more.“I guess with Coach Amaker, he’s obviously...
Life is supposed to get easier with new technology. Donald Norman wishes it were really so. Instead, he says, as devices evolve, people wind up befuddled and annoyed. The culprit: bad design, a longtime target of the Northwestern University professor. In his seminal 1990 book, The Design of Everyday Things, Norman explained why, for example, people so often switch on the wrong burner of an oven range--in a person's mind, a straight row of control knobs doesn't logically map onto a square stove...
