...kids about the Sept. 11 anniversary, but the anxiety has only built since then. War jitters, orange alerts and duct-tape mania have rendered literal our most childlike, monsters-under-the-bed fears: that a tall building can collapse like a house of cards, that something bad can seep in ghostlike through your window and hurt...
...They may no longer have a choice. With a series of studies beginning in 1992, the Lund group has shown that in laboratory rats, at least, mobile-phone radiation opens up this barrier so molecules of the blood protein albumin - which should be far too large to penetrate - can seep through. These results have recently been duplicated in another laboratory, and their latest study shows for the first time that when the bbb is breached by albumin, the excitable brain cells that allow us to think, talk and dial mobile phones - namely neurons - may die. Many health-conscious consumers already...
...bring your dead wife to work Day on planet Solaris. When reports of disquiet seep from a manned space mission, Chris Kelvin (George Clooney) is sent to find out what went wrong.

Steven Soderbergh's remake of Andrei Tarkovsky's science-fiction classic, based on the Stanislaw Lem novel, can't touch the 1972 film...
Even enthusiasts like Modzelewski caution that no one should expect an overnight nanotech revolution.

Only a handful of "pure play" nanotech stocks exist, including Nanophase Technologies, in Romeoville, Ill., which makes nanoscale powders, among them zinc oxide particles for sunscreen that won't turn lifeguards' noses white. Still, investors...
...Whether that will be enough to let them continue to work with Saddle Creek instead of the likes of RCA remains to be seen. But they've already proved that the best up-and-coming rock groups don't always germinate in big coastal cities and college towns and seep into the heartland. Sometimes it goes the other way around...
