Experimental study of the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is gathering momentum. The eagerly awaited Boomerang results have lived up to expectations. They provide convincing evidence in favor of the standard paradigm: the Universe is close to flat and with primordial fluctuations which are redolent of inflation. Further scrutiny reveals something even more exciting however –...

Energy systems are changing rapidly, bringing new types of risks, and forms potential disruption to energy supplies. Our growing dependence on energy, particularly electricity, means that more than ever we need plan for disruptions be prepared them. What happens during the is important: understand how individuals, communities organisations experience event, what measures can taken reduce overal...
