NEW SCIENTIST WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
No 18 29 January 2000
Welcome to your weekly digest of stories and snippets from New
Scientist.
It's a nice life if you're a robot. You just can't lose. If you're smart
they'll want you. And if you're not, they'll still want you...
For example, if you had to tackle a complex task, would you deliberately
pick six stupid robots to help you? Ronald Kube would. Just why does a
robotics expert at the Edmonton Research Park in Alberta want to work with a
team of mindless machines? New Scientist finds out.

Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the robotics spectrum, there's nothing
mindless about NASA's latest leading light. Fitted with a laser rangefinder
to detect obstacles in its path and a high-resolution camera to zoom in on
interesting rocks, Nomad is looking for meteorites in eastern Antarctica.
"This is not a case of a human sitting there operating the robot with a
joystick," says program head, Ralph Harvey. "The robot is doing the search
itself, and making decisions on its own."

THE BIG ISSUE Human cloning will always be an ethical minefield. Or will
it? A company linked to the team that created Dolly the sheep is working on
a cloning technique that would no longer need to use human egg cells. And it
claims already to have promising results. Is this the medical breakthrough
which could overcome ethical obstacles and revolutionise the treatment of
conditions such as Parkinson's disease?

THE SHINING It glows, it floats through walls and it can kill you. It may
sound like something out of a Hollywood horror movie, but it's less
predictable. This week's Last Word section looks at the very peculiar and
rare phenomenon of ball lightning.

LOVING A COLD CLIMATE Jean-Robert Petit has a passion for ancient ice.
"It's just water. But it's marvellous water. In the bubbles trapped in the
ice you have samples of air from an ancient atmosphere," he enthuses. We
talk to the Swiss glaciologist who is one of the first Western experts to
study climate change at a remote Soviet research station, high up on the
Antarctic plateau.

OUR FLEXIBLE FRIENDS What has a fish got to do with a computer screen that
you can roll up and stuff in your pocket? Just about everything, according
to researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory near San Francisco. In order to combine the
power of silicon with the flexibility of plastic, we will need to understand
the strange zone where organisation gives way to anarchy - and that,
apparently, is where the Antarctic flounder comes in... New Scientist
investigates research which could lead to a whole new era of cheap, bendy
and disposable electronics.

LANGUAGE BARRIER "AS" is a 41-year-old woman. "IFA" is a 52-year-old man.
Both are patients who have suffered strokes and have the same difficulty
naming objects, reading and repeating words. But Alfonso Caramazza at
Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachussetts, has noticed a striking
difference in their language problems. "AS" struggles with vowels, while
"IFA" has a particularly hard time with consonants. We consider evidence
which seems to indicate that we process vowels and consonants in different
parts of our brains.
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns2223118
EARLY LEARNING Would you want to get inside the head of a squid? William
Gilly and Thomas Preuss at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove,
California, are making it their daily business to do just that. Gilly and
Thomas have found that if they feed one group of hatchlings on slow shrimp
and another group on speedy copepods they end up with adult squid with quite
different "hunting brains". The next step is to track down the molecules
that bring about these early changes. And if they can do that, they may
discover how the brains of animals and people are shaped.
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns2223116
AND FINALLY, here's a little something for the soft-hearted. Albino penguins
are not renowned for being lucky in love. They almost never pair, and are
often ostracised by other penguins in their colonies. On his latest trip to
Antarctica, however, Jun Nishikawa of the Ocean Research Institute in Tokyo
spotted a penguin which, despite a few dark feathers on its back and a red
bill, was predominantly white. And? Yes! It was incubating an egg.
So,
fingers crossed...

A news item matching your personal profile has been posted on the Foreign
& Commonwealth Office website.
'REMEMBERING THE HOLOCAUST; LOOKING TO THE FUTURE'
On the eve of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Robin Cook, the
Foreign Secretary, has addressed the Stockholm International Forum on the
Holocaust. 'What brought us together today is our resolve that never
again must the events of the Holocaust be repeated,' Mr Cook said, and
'the best way we can ensure that they never again happen is to never
forget their full horror.' Mr Cook announced that the Prime Minister,
Tony Blair, has agreed that the 27 January will be commemorated every year
in Britain as Holocaust Memorial Day, 'not just in memory of the victims
of the Holocaust alone but also in memory of all the victims of genocide.'
