Development and psychometric evaluation of a new patient-reported outcome instrument measuring the functional impact of insomnia
Wireless
The contents of Guglielmo Marconi's black box were the components he brought from Italy in 1897 when he traveled to London to interest the British authorities in his work and to seek his first patent. Taken individually those components were not remarkable, but, as William Preece told an audience at the Royal Institution, "Marconi has produced from known means . . . a new system of telegraphy that will reach places hitherto inaccessible." Sungook…
The Science of Energy
The contemporary reader, accustomed to the recurrent "energy crises" experienced in modern society, may be surprised to find that energy did not become an important concept in science until the mid-nineteenth century. Among the originators and advocates of the science of energy were William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) and William John Macquorn Rankine. Beginning in the early 1850s they began replacing the old language of mechanics, which was largely co…
Brandy, Balloons and Lamps
Today, good lighting is available whenever we want it at the flick of a switch or the press of a button. It is hard to imagine the world of only 220 years ago, when gas light and electric light were as yet undreamed of and such lamps as there were burned oil, usually derived from animal or vegetable sources; they were smoky and smelly, cheaper than candles but no brighter

Michael Faraday's geological notes on the Isle of Wight
In 1824 Michael Faraday was an established member of the scientific community in London, but it was not clear which areas of science he was going to make his own. That summer he visited the Isle of Wight, apparently for a family holiday, and while there he made notes of his geological observations. These notes, which are published here for the first time, show him as an observant worker at the forefront of a new science. He could have become a ge…
