That's why experiments now going on in laboratories around the world are so important. At a research center outside Stuttgart, Germany, engineers at DaimlerChrysler have created a high-performance car whose tail pipe emits nothing but water vapor. In a giant wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, engineers are set to analyze air turbulence in order to make superefficient wind-power turbines. In Japan scientists are perfecting paper-thin solar cells that will be cheap to produce and could turn every house into its own electricity supplier. These ventures, along with many others, are beginning...
Although Shi had officially registered for the event, some Harvard students decided to participate as "bandits"--unofficial runners who start out at the tail end of the pack...
...gone to shopping malls, restaurants and the beach. But the newest development is the most chilling.

The U.S. Attorney's office is challenging this and has asked for a hearing next month. But if the past is a lesson...

Nor have you seen animal passion until you've seen two beefy Tyrannosaurs make eight tons of back-to-belly-bumpin' jungle love.

The critters in this three-hour special, which drew more than half the viewing audience when...
...tropical storm quickly takes shape over the Atlantic Ocean, a furiously whirling dervish with a skirt of thunderstorms. But just as quickly the storm is challenged by dozens of National Weather Service planes, which sally forth from East Coast airstrips like fighters on the tail of an enemy bomber. Attacking from above and below, the planes fire off a barrage of esoteric weapons that sap the strength of the raging winds in the developing eye wall...
