Morning
Some interesting projects are on the go elsewhere in the world
- Britain from Above: experts have been unable to identify all the locations in an archive of 16,000 aerial photographs of Britain taken between 1919 and 1953 by an air survey company, Aerofilms. The photos which have recently been digitised and placed online are free to view and the public has been invited to assist in recognising locations. Go to www.britainfromabove.org.uk The website will eventually contain 95,000 images - quite amazing!
- The Mpemba Effect: why does a warmer liquid freeze faster than a cooler one??? Named after the young Tanzanian student Erasto Mpemba who first posed this question in 1963, scientists are still baffled as to this phenomenon. As a result, and as of 26 June 2012, the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK are sponsoring a £1000 prize to anyone that can solve this puzzle. All interesting and inventive solutions should be submitted at www.hermes2012.org/ice Good luck to you!
cheers
