From aircraft engineer to FBI suspect
Article Abstract:
The research work of J. Reece Roth, an emeritus professor of electrical engineering in the University of Tennessee, with a Chinese student to develop a drag-reducing technology for unmanned planes, has sparked an inquiry. He is suspected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of violating the Armed Export Control Act, a law that prohibits the transfer of military technologies to foreign countries or nationals, even as he maintains that he had not expected a small research contract to affect the policy of non-discrimination followed by the university.

The search for structure
Article Abstract:
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is capable of picking up even the faint lensing of light produced by the clumps of dark matter from distant galaxies. LSST has proved to be very advantageous, as it can provide the structural data that will give more information about the Universe to the scientists.
