These hard woody growths, about 1.5 inches across, are induced by insects interfering with the oak plant&#8217;s bio-chemistry. Typically a wasp, [...]]]></description>

The four-part series revisited the intensive &#8216;Blitz&#8217; bombing of Britain during the Second World War by recreating a wartime street and subjecting it to progressively larger explosions, simulating the range of bombs and [...]]]></description>

Not just any old screwdriver though, because the handle of this one is made from nitrocellulose, and they don&#8217;t do that anymore &#8211; not since the 1940s.  I found the remains in a garage I&#8217;ve been clearing out over the past couple of days.

But combining improved performance with safe, eco-efficient, operation is a tall order. Michel Armand of the Universite de Picardie Jules Verne, France, and his team, showed that a sustainably sourced organic version of the ubiquitous lithium-ion battery [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was sad to hear the news today that Waterford Wedgwood, the company formed from an amalgamation of Waterford glass and Wedgwood pottery, has fallen into administration.

The name Wedgwood, and its most characteristic and recognised Jasper Ware products, are well known icons of the British pottery industry.
