Maths and Stats by Email | Polyhedra: "Article: Neuroscientist discovers new solid shapes

Science by Email | Deep sea divers, Making a Cartesian diver: "Ocean-diving robots – known as Argo floats – have been plunging to the depths of the ocean to provide scientists with important data on underwater salinity and temperatures. Now, CSIRO scientists have teamed with leading marine scientists in India to take a closer look at the Indian Ocean climate and ecosystems. To do this, the team extended the robots’ capabilities – developing new ‘Bio Argo’ floats.
