#Helmet with built-in suspension: Motorcycle headgear absorbs energy from a crash to protect your brain as well as your skull Experts have created a helmet with built-in suspension to protect your brain as well as your skull.
While most ordinary motorcycle and cycle helmets attempt to protect the skull from damage, the brain is still susceptible to injuries from impacts.
The 6d helmet contains a foam liner inside which is split into two layers, separated by an array of energy absorbing elastomeric isolation dampers
-which look tiny rubber suction cups-creating an air gap. It is designed to compress and'shear'omnidirectionally.
The helmet also slows the rotation of the head down on impact, which can cause the brain to spin inside the skull and lead to brain injuries.
Bob Weber, cofounder of 6d helmets, said the combination of the suspension system along with an EPS foam to absorb energy helps to make the helmet safer.
He said:''By having a suspension in the helmet, the helmet is active at a much lower energy demand than a traditional design.'
'The two liners can compress within themselves and if the energy is high enough the two layers come together
and the EPS takes over.''While traditional helmets are simply too stiff to effectively absorb energy from impacts at lower impact velocities,
the 6d helmet's Omnidirectional Suspension (ODS) will compress and shear omni-directionally when subjected to impact.
This means it could be used to improve safety for motorcyclists and traditional cyclists. An array of 27 dampers work in unison to isolate impact energy from the brain.

#New glass manufacturing technique could enable design of hybrid glasses and revolutionise gas storage A new method of manufacturing glass could lead to the production of'designer glasses'with applications in advanced photonics,
whilst also facilitating industrial scale carbon capture and storage. An international team of researchers, writing today in the journal Nature Communications,

The new glasses seem to no longer have that problem, resembling the kind of wrap-around sunglasses favored by everyone from security contractors to extreme sporting enthusiasts.
Instead of the electrically powered near-infrared lights of the earlier visors, these glasses use an unspecified novel material to absorb
and reflect light, as well as angles and patterns on its lenses. Tests with smartphone cameras showed that the glasses fooled facial recognition 90 percent of the time.
Previous attempts to hide faces from computers have resorted to eye-catching makeup or dangling lights from baseball caps.

#China Will Launch Cap -And-Trade Program To Limit Carbon emissions President Xi Jinping of China announced today during a visit to the White house that China will start a national cap
-and-trade program to limit greenhouse gas emissions in 2017. Under cap-and-trade programs, a governing body limits the amount of pollution that can be emitted,
and then sells permits to companies that want to emit pollutants. Companies can trade their permits,
China cap-and-trade program will help the country reduce emissions from some of its most polluting sectors,
Regional cap-and-trade programs already exist in China. Between 2013 and 2014, the Chinese government launched seven pilot cap-and-trade programs in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenzen,
and Chongqing, as well as in the provinces of Guangdong and Hubei. But China agreement to a national cap-and-trade program,
which Obama officials said have been in the works since April, represents the country first wide-ranging plan for limiting its emissions.
China has yet to announce specifics about its cap-and-trade plan, leaving some concerned about the political and technical challenges that lie ahead."
what the actual cap is.""If China sets limits that will peak its emissions before 2030,
what the actual cap is.""Cap-and-trade programs have been praised by some policymakers as an efficient way to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions,
while others argue that the strategy rewards big polluters that can afford to buy permits. In his first term, President Obama tried to pass a similar cap-and-trade program,
but the measure was rejected by the Senate, in part among concerns from American politicians that setting emissions limits would harm the U s. ability to compete economically with China.

The process behind making the glasses hinges on erceptual psychophysicsor the tudy of how physical stimuli are transformed to perceptual phenomena using our senses,
Though the glasses only create a simulation of sorts, wearers still experience a significant change in their perception of objects.
The MCA Chicago is the first museum to offer these glasses to visitors. Visitors can pick up a pair at the front of the museum
The glasses were supplied by Valspar as part of the Color for All campaign, which focuses on bringing Enchroma glasses to those who struggle to see Color in a video,
users wear the glasses to look at art pieces but also everyday sights like paint strokes on the wall and drawings by kids.
At the museum, can experience more fully not only the visual nature of pieces but the emotional responses that these colors often spark in their viewers.
