Cooling Suit
Safety scientists used
principles of physiology to
help keep firefighters cool
in the high temperature
environments they often
encounter. Traditional
firefighting gear considers
the heat of the fire, but

World On Water
Geophysicists determined
that tectonic
mountain-building processes
are not the only factor that
determines elevation in
North America. The
temperature of the crust
affects its density, and

'Cool' Car
Engineers at a national lab
have shown that small fans
embedded in car seats could
help cool passengers down --
saving up to 7 percent of
the 30 to 40 gallons of
gasoline per year an average
driver consumes for powering

Fog Cleans Air Pollution
While it hassles commuters,
morning mist removes a lot
of airborne particles which
are hazardous for people
with respiratory health
problems. The water droplets
inside morning fog are of
