...four forces: the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks together in atomic nuclei; the weak nuclear force, which triggers some forms of radioactive decay; electromagnetism, which builds atoms into molecules and molecules into macroscopic matter; and gravity. An entirely separate set of particles -- the bosons -- are the agents that transmit these forces back and forth between particles, people and planets...
What the Supreme Court decides to do will be of more than passing interest to the 21 million American households that have cordless phones. The prevailing legal rationale holds that cordless users have no "reasonable expectation" of privacy because their phones -- unlike standard wire phones and sophisticated cellular devices -- transmit radio signals between a handset and a base unit that occasionally can be intercepted by other cordless phones or even by shortwave radio sets.

By having a patient swallow the pill, doctors can pinpoint worrisome hot spots anywhere within the digestive tract. Future "smart pills" may transmit information about heart rates, stomach acidity or neural functions. Says Russell Eberhart, program manager at Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory: "This could change the way we diagnose and monitor patients...
