Although the UK is often revered for being one of the few nations in the world where police maintain law and order without carrying guns as standard, the ongoing terrorism threat has reopened the debate on whether arming all officers would make Britain any safer. In the wake of five terrorist attacks this year alone, […]
LOS ANGELES – California lawmakers on Saturday sent a bill to the governor’s desk that would place statewide limits on local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities in a measure that would create a potent counterbalance to the Trump administration’s push against undocumented immigrants. In the early morning hours of Saturday, the state Senate […]
It’s hard to completely escape safety issues with lithium-ion batteries, in part due to the nature of the electrolytes that charge and release energy when ions shuttle between electrodes. They usually have to be made of easily combustible chemicals to muster enough power. However, that might not be a problem for much longer. Scientists have […]
A Dutch nuclear research institute is conducting the first experiment in close to five decades on molten-salt nuclear reactors based on thorium. Long hailed as a potential “safer” nuclear power, thorium reactor research could provide clean, affordable and “large-scale energy production.” That’s according to scientists from the Nuclear Research and Consulting Group (NRG) in Petten, […]

Enlarge (credit: John Loo) In 2015, 4,700 people in the US lost a finger or other body part to table-saw incidents. Most of those injuries didn’t have to happen, thanks to technology invented in 1999 by entrepreneur Stephen Gass. By giving his blade a slight electric charge, his saw is able to detect contact with a human […]
Minimally invasive surgery is already amazing as it is, but a team of Harvard scientists have created a device that expands its possible applications even further. They designed a tiny robotic arm that lays flat while the endoscope is moving through narrow passages and pops up to reveal tools surgeons can use for the procedure. […]
Flight seating is normally only ever a problem when it comes to being separated from friends and family, or being stuck in a middle seat. However, the way in which passengers sit could also be a big issue when it comes to flight safety. Most seats face forwards, with normally just the flight stewards facing […]
A new international study has found that petrol cars emit up to 62 times more lung damaging pollution in cold weather than petrol counterparts. The team analysed carbonaceous particle matter (PM), which is made of black carbon, primary organic aerosol and is thrown into the air by vehicle exhaust pipes. PM is also known to […]
Most current self-driving technology relies on cameras, radar and lidar. These sensory devices serve as eyes for the car, mimicking what a human driver can see. But a University of Michigan public-private partnership called Mcity is testing V2V, or vehicle to vehicle communication, and has found that it makes their autonomous prototypes even safer. V2V […]
