The OpenScience Laboratory | An initiative of The Open University and the Wolfson Foundation
“The laboratory will provide online access to data from real physical instruments and equipment – developing cutting-edge technology including:
remote access to laboratories and observatories: students can operate real physical equipment controlled remotely – a method already established in astronomy
virtual laboratories and instruments, such as the virtual microscope: interactive screen experiments will include photo-realistic recordings of physical experiments and replicate the behaviours of real specimens
online field investigations: these can involve electronic access to a conventional field trip or offer a virtual experience using satellite-borne and remotely-operated sensors
citizen science: a distributed way of gathering data, where non-professionals collect or process data as part of a scientific enquiry. This data can be combined to offer new insights.- – By valerie taylor

New take on ‘X’ plane wins NASA grant
“Cleared for Mach 2 after departure, this supersonic jet of the future would yaw 90 degrees and put a new set of wings into the wind. The brainchild of Ge-Chen Zha of the University of Miami, the “supersonic, bi-directional flying wing” recently landed a $100,000 NASA grant to continue development of a concept that could cut the New York to Tokyo travel time to four hours—and perhaps significantly faster than that, Zha said.”
