New Scientist Breaking News - US military sets laser PHASRs to stun The US government has unveiled a "non-lethal" laser rifle designed to dazzle enemy personnel without causing them permanent harm. But the device will require close scrutiny to ensure compliance with a United Nations protocol on blinding laser weapons. The Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response (PHASR) rifle was developed at the Air Force Research Laboratory in New Mexico, US, and two prototypes have been delivered to military bases in Texas and Virginia for further testing. The US Department of Defense (DoD) believes the weapon could be used, for example, to temporarily blind suspects who drive through a roadblock. However, the DoD has yet to reveal details of how the laser works and has yet to respond to New Scientist's requests for further information. Laser weapons capable of blinding enemies have been developed in the past but were banned under a 1995 UN convention called the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons.

A Brief History of Precision Guided Weapons The solar-powered Helios Prototype, ultra light flying wing The solar-powered Helios Prototype is a slow-flying ultralight flying wing designed for long-duration, high-altitude Earth science or telecommunications relay missions in the stratosphere. The craft has a wingspan of 247 feet, longer than the wingspan of the Boeing 747 jetliner, yet weighs in at only 1,322 pounds empty. The cruising speed of Helios ranges from 19 to 27 mph, with takeoff and landing equating to the average speed of a bicycle. It's constructed mostly of composite materials such as carbon fiber, graphite epoxy, Kevlar, styrofoam, and a thin, transparent plastic skin. The Helios Prototype is powered by 14 brushless direct-current electric motors mounted across the wing's entire span. An array of more than 65,000 bi-facial silicon solar cells mounted on the upper surface of Helios' wing is capable of producing a maximum output of about 35 kilowatts power at high noon on a summer day.

Researchers in Melbourne have found that these voracious marsupials can be scared off by the thumping sound of their own large feet on the ground. There could be as many as 60m kangaroos in Australia, and they often compete with livestock for food and water. Keeping these fleet-footed marsupials away from their crops and water supplies has become a constant battle. A traditional deterrent has been a series of high pitched squeals emitted from loudspeakers. Researchers have found that kangaroos often become accustomed to these artificial sounds and take little notice of them. However, a recording of a 'roo thumping its foot appears to have been quite a breakthrough. Using the animal's own alarm system could be what irate farmers have been looking for. A large number of marsupials are also killed or injured on Australian roads by cars and trucks.
