The finding, backed by more than a dozen studies on humans and animals, suggests that heart attacks, not lung disease, may be the most serious medical threat posed by air pollution. The culprits appear to be tiny pieces of soot called particulates. More research is underway. At least that's the scheme that Motorola Corp. is backing in conjunction with Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. They are working to miniaturize fuel cells to power wireless phones in place of batteries.
Fuel cells work something like batteries with a fuel tank.
They convert chemicals to electricity, much as batteries do, but instead of needing to be plugged for hours to recharge when they run flat, fuel cells perk up as soon as you feed them more chemicals. In Motorola's vision, the fuel cells would run on alcohol mixed with water and oxygen from the air. The official close to the talks, who asked not to be identified, said U.S. President Bill Clinton and Russian President Vladimir Putin should unveil the deal which has been two years in the making later on Sunday. There has never been a programme before to get rid of weapons-grade plutonium. Indiana Inc.
