A light way to make smaller sensors
Article Abstract:
The Centre for Integrated Photonics (CIP), based on BT's Adastral science park at Martlesham Health, developed its integrated opto-electronic devices for BT when it was heavily involved in the design of what became the optical fiber. Devices made in this way are much smaller, more robust, less sensitive to temperature and strain and potentially much cheaper than those based on optical fibers.

Diesel goes for record
Article Abstract:
The standard JCB engine has been stretched for the record attempt to run 50 percent faster and deliver a five-fold enhancement in power. The technologies developed for the record attempt engine are to be used in a four cylinder engine that will replace a present six cylinder engine with consequent savings in weight and improvements in fuel economy.
