Always nice to see a thoughtful piece of design, wherever you find it.

I came across another neat tin-opener this weekend - the first was the classic P-38.

This one seems to be designed with safety in mind as it cuts through the thick part of the rim and at the same time rolls away the sharp edges - my photo sadly doesn't really do the result justice.

While I wouldn't run my fingers along the resulting edges deliberately, they are nothing like as sharp as edges left by openers I have come across before.

While some politicians attempt to score their pathetic points, declaring how they would have got aircraft moving more quickly without explaining how, engineers and scientists have worked hard to craft a set of rules for aircraft flying through ash plumes.

The University of Michigan has a rather nice video of its lab-on-a-chip in operation.

The remarkable thing about this hydraulic circuit is that it generates is own control signals, there are no external signal inputs - so it is less a collection of tubes and more a self-oscillating state-machine.
