CD-ROM: Help yourself to a remedy
AN INTERACTIVE guide has been launched on self-help remedies. Called The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies, it includes cures from ginger for travel sickness to exercise regimes such as T'ai Chi or the Feldenkreis Technique for back pain. The on-screen icons are big and clearly labelled, so you should be able to call up the remedies list even in the depths of flu or migraine. more

Robots: Arm that's right for picking
A TOMATO-PICKING robot has been developed to speed up the process, reduce costs and relieve humans of a task that is boring.
Nick Tillett, of Silsoe Research Institute, Bedfordshire, who developed the robot arm, said it could be adapted to pick other fruit and vegetables, including peppers, apples and courgettes, as well as for packing - for example, putting chicken legs in boxes. more
