  Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jun 16, 2017 
How can the color of laser light be changed? One popular method to achieve this is the so-called second harmonic generation (SHG) effect, which doubles the frequency of light and hence changes its color.
However, observing this nonlinear effect requires a polar crystal in which inversion symmetry is broken. For this reason, identifying crystals that can elicit strong SHG has been an import ... more Atlanta GA (SPX) Jun 16, 2017Researchers create 3-D printed tensegrity objects capable of dramatic shape change  Washington DC (SPX) Jun 16, 2017New form of carbon that's hard as a rock, yet elastic, like rubber  Washington (UPI) Jun 20, 2017Northrop Grumman tests flat-panel radar |

 Algiers (AFP) June 19, 2017 
It's a rubbish job, but someone has to do it. Or some animal: in the alleyways of Algiers' famed Kasbah, donkeys shift tonnes of trash every day.
Some streets in the Kasbah are so narrow that single file is necessary. Others are wider but are steep and stepped, ruling out more usual rubbish collection methods.
Hence the resort to animal power to keep this World Heritage Site clean.
