The cloaking devices that are used to render spacecraft invisible in Star Trek might just work in reality, two mathematicians have claimed. They have outlined their concept in a research paper published in one of the UK Royal Society's scientific journals. Nicolae Nicorovici and Graeme Milton propose that placing certain objects close to a material called a superlens could make them appear to vanish. It would rely on an effect known as "anomalous localised resonance". However, the authors have so far only done the maths to verify that the concept could work. Building such a device would undoubtedly pose a significant challenge. Cloaking devices are a for…

Anyone watch that show?

Brazil has joined the select group of countries with the capability of enriching uranium as a means of generating energy. A new centrifuge facility was formally opened on Friday at the Resende nuclear plant in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilian government says its technology is some of the most advanced in the world. The official opening follows lengthy negotiations with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the IAEA. Brazil has some of the largest reserves of uranium in the world but until now the ore has had to be shipped abroad for enrichment - the process which produces nuclear fuel. In future some of that enrichment will take place in Brazi…

Illusionist David Blaine, who is spending seven-days submerged in a water-filled sphere, is to receive medical treatment. Blaine's spokesman Pat Smith said the 33-year-old's peeling skin and overall condition was worrying doctors. But he added Blaine was "determined" to complete the "human aquarium" stunt at Lincoln Center in New York. A mask and an air line are keeping Blaine alive, and he is also getting liquid nutrition fed via a tube. World record But prolonged submersion in water poses a number of hazards, including nerve damage, blackouts, sleep deprivation and skin problems. Blaine has said his skin is causing him pain "like constant pins and …

Middle-aged English people are healthier than their American counterparts, according to a collaborative study issued today by English and US researchers. Americans aged between 55 and 64 suffer from diseases such as diabetes, high-blood pressure and lung cancer at rates up to twice those seen among similar aged people in England, reports the study, published in the May Journal of the American Medical Association. By analysing a large representative sample of people from each country, researchers from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, UCL (University College London) and RAND in the US found that English people were less likely to report suffering from a wide array …

Molten lava has begun flowing from a volcano on the Indonesian island of Java which has been showing increased signs of activity over recent weeks. Scientists are warning that Mount Merapi is likely to erupt, but say they cannot predict the exact timing. The area around the volcano has been on official alert for at least two weeks. Despite the latest developments, the threat level has not yet been raised to the highest alert - a move which would trigger a mass evacuation. 'Inadequate preparations' The scientists monitoring Mt Merapi's rumbling have been on the lookout for specific signs, including flows of lava and evidence of burning around the crater…

European diplomats say the US is blocking a plan to resume direct financial aid to the Palestinians. The European Commission is considering plans to send funds to the office of the president, bypassing the Hamas-led Palestinian government. Under the proposal, money for basic services such as health and education, could go to Mahmoud Abbas' office. The commission's report said the plan might "avert or delay" a collapse of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Direct aid to the authority was cut off following Hamas' election victory. The United Nations estimates that a quarter of the Palestinian population depends on government salaries. The PA employs some 165,…

A HAMAS plot to assassinate Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, has been thwarted after he was tipped off by Israeli intelligence. Hamas’s military wing, the Izza Din Al-Qassem, had planned to kill Abbas at his office in Gaza, intelligence sources said. Abbas, who became president of the Palestinian Authority last year after the death of Yasser Arafat, was formally warned of the danger by the Israelis and cancelled a planned visit to the territory. The murder plan is the clearest sign yet of the tensions inside the Palestinian Authority between Hamas, which swept to power after elections in January, and Abbas’s Fatah movement. Hamas leaders, who re…

Super-skinny reality TV star Nicole Richie has admitted she is "too thin" and is getting help from doctors to gain weight. The 24-year-old, whose drastic weight loss spawned speculation she has an eating disorder, told Vanity Fair she was worried that young girls would model themselves on her tiny figure. Skinny: Nicole Richie Her doctor vowed to help Richie if it turned out she was anorexic.

A group of irate economy air passengers were arrested after storming the first class cabin of an international flight in mid-air, it has been revealed. The pilot of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) jet radioed ahead after 14 people upgraded themselves. They were all arrested on suspicion of endangering the aircraft after landing at Manchester Airport on Friday. The mutiny came after the plane was delayed for four hours on the tarmac in soaring heat at Islamabad Airport. The luxury section was said to be virtually empty on the Boeing 747 while economy was packed. Police were called before the plane landed in the UK because the passengers refused to …

On a warm spring morning earlier this week, a burly English labourer cut an unlikely figure as he stood in front of the high, wrought-iron gates of a French country estate. Hands in pockets and cigarette hanging from his lower lip, he shook his head as he surveyed the broken letterbox, malfunctioning intercom, crumbling walls and rusting wire fence. Further up what was once a splendid half-mile driveway, terraced gardens lay untended, sculptured fountains were switched off and what should have been a vast swimming pool was slowly stagnating into an oversized green-brown pond. The Italianate-style buildings were similarly neglected and empty. There was just an ee…

Hey everybody! I’m new here and just wanted to suggest a book we all shouldn’t read, OK? The book is by author David Masiel and it’s called “The Western Limit of the World.” It’s a “sea adventure” without any adventure at all, about a chemical tanker. Well, it tanked all right. Caveat emptor, people! This review tells you everything you need to know. http://www.nypress.com/18/52/books/books1.cfm

In 2002, Gary McKinnon was arrested by the UK's national high-tech crime unit, after being accused of hacking into Nasa and the US military computer networks. He says he spent two years looking for photographic evidence of alien spacecraft and advanced power technology. America now wants to put him on trial, and if tried there he could face 60 years behind bars. Banned from using the internet, Gary spoke to Click presenter Spencer Kelly to tell his side of the story, ahead of his extradition hearing on Wednesday, 10 May. You can read what he had to say here.

Ten soldiers have been killed when a US helicopter crashed in Afghanistan late on Friday night, officials from the US-led coalition said. The CH-47 Chinook came down in Kunar province near a "mountaintop landing zone" 240km (150 miles) east of Kabul. The nationalities of the soldiers have not yet been released. The soldiers were reportedly involved in operations against the Taleban, although military officials said the crash was not caused by enemy fire. The crash happened near the provincial capital, Asadabad, close to the border with Pakistan. There is a large US military base near the town, in the mountainous border terrain. "The remains of 10 soldiers…

Award-winning drama Lost attracted an audience of 3.9m as it returned to British television for a second series. But the US show, which focuses on a group of aircrash survivors stranded on a desert island, failed to match its first series debut of 6m viewers. The double bill, shown on Channel 4 on Tuesday, saw its audience slip to 2.8m after the first hour. The drama, made by ABC, has been a hit on both sides of the Atlantic and won six Emmy awards last year. The show commanded more than 20% of the total viewing audience during its two-hour slot on Tuesday, with Channel 4 showing episode one and two back-to-back. Around 700,000 viewers then tuned into Chan…

He'll be called up for England...

Steve McClaren's appointment as the next England manager is set to be confirmed by the Football Association. The FA's board began meeting at its Soho Square headquarters in London at 1030 BST to discuss the successor to current coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. The Middlesbrough manager's name will be recommended to the board by the selection panel, the BBC has learned. And McClaren, 45, has left his North Yorkshire home and is believed to be heading for the capital. Bolton boss Sam Allardyce - who was also in the running for the job - has said he expects to miss out. McClaren failed to come out for the post-match interviews after his Middlesbrough side's 1-1 dra…
