A system that works...if people listen
Article Abstract:
Japan, which gets hit by damaging waves roughly once every seven years, is the best-prepared nation for tsunamis where earthquakes are detected within two minutes by seismic monitors all around the country. However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii that helps Japan during such emergencies is facing problems as three of its six buoys have been out of commission since at least September 2004 and Pacific nations still face the problem of human error.

Collaboration on the rocks
Article Abstract:
Kei Hirose and Shigeaki Ono used to be collaborators who made important contributions to the discovery of the post-perovskite phase of the mineral MgSiO3 but, now they are working separately. Their disaffection is mainly because of clash of personalities and because of each researcher's own version of the discovery of post-perovskite.
