Legal scholars believe that a special tribunal, rather than any single nation's courts, would be the appropriate venue. Says Jochen Frowein, of the Max Planck Institute for International Law in Heidelberg: "A Security Council resolution setting out in detail how existing provisions on war crimes shall be applied is the only promising avenue...
...sounding an 11th-hour warning about the explosives that Iraqi soldiers have planted around most of Kuwait's 700 oil wells and 21 processing plants. If those devices are set off, the subsequent conflagration could create "a nuclear-winter-like situation," asserts Paul Crutzen, director of Germany's Max Planck Institute for Chemistry. Jordanian experts say the wells could burn 10 million bbl. of oil a day, releasing a vast cloud of black smoke into the stratosphere. Such a cloud has the potential to screen sunlight, reduce temperatures and damage crops throughout the northern hemisphere. Not all experts agree with...
...wrote that if the center chooses Mt. Graham to house its telescope, Harvard-Smithsonian Center would use its influence with the U.S. Forest Service to allow development of Emerald Peak. In exchange, Harvard-Smithsonian would receive telescope equipment or viewing time on Arizonia's Max-Planck Radioastronomic Submillimeter...
...weeks the scientific rumor mills had anticipated the winners of the chemistry prize. So when Robert Huber, the managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry near Munich, received his telephone call from Sweden, the champagne was readily at hand. Huber, 51, and fellow West Germans Johann Deisenhofer, 45, and Hartmut Michel, 40, were recognized for revealing the "atom by atom" structure of the molecule at the heart of photosynthesis, the process by which sunlight is converted into the chemical energy that fuels plant and animal life...
...really have the answer? The attempts of generations of scientists to find out have made Fermat's Last Theorem the El Dorado of math problems. Now, at long last, an assistant professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University seems to have broken the code. Last month at Bonn's Max Planck Institute, Yoichi Miyaoka, 38, sketched out his answer on a blackboard for fellow mathematicians...
