This month's NEW SCIENTIST TV examines one way of growing and harvesting cellulose to use in the production of clothes, but this does appear to have it's drawbacks. The description of how these clothes would react to being exposed to rain is actually quite comical! This month's edition also includes a professor of Maths explaining about how rowers' seating arrangements may impede the teams speed, and has offered some alternative seating combinations to get more speed, and there is also a report which features a choir singing a DNA sequence. |
