When Ulli Sommer, a 41-year-old engineer and avid cyclist, started thinking about ideal car design a few years ago, the first image that came to mind was a nail. "It's the perfect combination of aerodynamics and strength," he says over coffee in the Munich conference room of Ruetz Technologies, his employer and partner in a venture to build the first mass-market ultralight car. Sommer's Loremo (pronounced lo-ray-mo) and short for Low Resistance Mobile - looks [an error occurred while processing this directive] nothing like a nail. On the contrary, it looks amphibious; Sommer...
...flexible synthetic material currently used in the airline and rail industries. The car sits low to the ground; air shafts built into the underside of the frame channel air through to the rear, pushing the car closer to the road, which adds to stability and reduces air resistance. Sommer claims that this design saves weight, improves aerodynamics and still provides resistance in a crash to the same level as other sports cars and subcompacts. The result is the Loremo LS, a car with a two-cylinder, 20-horsepower, turbo-diesel engine that maxes out at 160 km/h and is expected...

...Aina Arts, which promotes local art forms in “marginalized communities,” currently both in Zimbabwe and in India.Aina’s workshops in Mussoorie, India, where the program links local artists with schools, inspired a similar project here at Harvard, according to Doris Sommer, who is Williams professor of Romance languages and literatures and director of Harvard’s Cultural Agents Initiative. Sommer’s program collaborates with the Boston Public Schools to integrate art forms into education.At Harvard, Bakshi began to see arts as a medium for change rather than just...
Pairing came naturally to Dorry Segev, a transplant surgeon, and his wife Sommer Gentry, a mathematician. After meeting in 1999 at a swing-dance competition in Stamford, Conn., the couple became dance partners and went on to win British lindy-hop competitions before getting hitched in 2003. Last year the duo partnered to devise a system that could save hundreds of lives a year by more efficiently matching kidney donors with the 62,000-plus Americans waiting for a transplant...
