Helping Build Designs That Are 'Cool'

Cool design creates hot profits, and although really great design is an art rather than a craft, the E-VaN project has developed some best-practice design tools to help companies maximise their potential. E-VaN aims to usher in a new wave of design that allies form with function.

   08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A Michigan State University engineering design team has developed a medical diagnosis system that would allow people to be inexpensively screened for a variety of medical problems. The device will address the issue of affordable health care in China, where health care costs are major contributors to poverty. Although China's health care system is in a state of reform, lack of health insurance, especially in rural areas, prevent many Chinese people from seeking medical care.

9. Aerosol pollution slows down winds and reduces rainfall
   01-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Near-surface winds provide a renewable source of clean energy and evaporate water, helping rain clouds to build up. But aerosolized particles created from vehicle exhaust and other contaminants can accumulate in the atmosphere and reduce the speed of winds closer to the Earth's surface, which results in less wind power available for wind-turbine electricity and also in reduced precipitation, according to a study by Stanford and NASA researchers.
