Publisher's Summary:

In this issue of Scientific American, "The Paradox of the Sun's Hot Corona." Like a boiling tea kettle on top of a cold stove, the sun's hot outer layers sit on a relatively cool surface. And astronomers are figuring out why. Two of them - Bhola Dwivedi and Kenneth J.H. Phillips - explain their findings. In "Solving the Mystery of Flight," Michael Dickinson explains how insects use a combination of aerodynamic effects to remain aloft. In "North to Mars!" Robert Zubrin explains why the Canadian Arctic is just about the perfect place to prepare for a trip to the red planet. Scientists could be unearthing the key to combating both baldness and excessive hair growth. Ricki Rusting has the story in "Hair: Why it Grows, Why it Stops." Also, meeting new exhaust emissions standards takes real effort. Steven Ashley writes that "A Low-Pollution Engine Solution" might offer the best hope of complying with the law.

But we all know that water puts a huge drag on subs: in reality, high speed isn't possible underwater. Until now. New research is propelling secret torpedoes and other naval systems at hundreds of miles per hour. Steven Ashley reports in this article, which originally appeared in the May 2001 issue of Scientific American.

This issue of Scientific American asks the question, "Are We Almost Tapped Out?" It offers a series of stories about the state of the world's water supplies. In "Making Every Drop Count," freshwater expert Peter Gleick explains why clean water is a rare commodity for billions. Even when there is water for drinking, what about having enough for irrigation? Sandra Postrel tackles that issue in "Growing More Food with Less Water." Is the era of Edison's light coming to an end? Three pioneers in the field of light emitting diodes (LEDs) say yes. M. George Cranford, Nick Holonyak, Jr., and Frederick Kish, Jr. illuminate the near future in an article called "In Pursuit of the Ultimate Lamp." Also, do you ever feel like a sap because you fell for a sales pitch? "The Science of Persuasion" should make you feel better. Columnists Philip and Phylis Morrison ask whether we've characterized the beginning of the universe correctly, in "The Big Bang: Wit or Wisdom?" And James Burke's Connections column ties together body-snatching, mastodons, war, and raincoats.

Publisher's Summary:

Could endangered species someday not be endangered at all, thanks to cloning? Robert Lanza, Betsy Dresser, and Philip Damiani address that subject in "Cloning Noah's Ark." If sheep, cattle, and lab mice can be cloned..."What About Rover and Fluffy?" As if that's not challenging enough, how about getting to Mars? "The Vasimr Rocket" could be just the ticket. The down-to-earth problem of fighting AIDS is most acute in Africa, where in some places the death toll is reminiscent of the plague. In "AIDS Drugs for Africa," Carol Ezzell examines the role drug companies are playing in getting pharmaceuticals to where they're needed. And, the personalities behind the creation of the atomic bomb: the disciplined Italian physicist Enrico Fermi and the brilliant but lackadaisical Leo Szilard. Writer William Lanouette calls them "The Odd Couple and the Bomb."
