Pages: 1 - 2 Abstract: SPANNING A gorge valley near a small town in the south of France stands an incredible bridge. Called the Millau Viaduct, it is the tallest bridge structure in Europe. Eight consecutive cable-stayed spans total 2,460m, and its pier and mast are a lofty 343m above ground - around 19m taller than the Eiffel Tower With a roadway 277m above France's Tarn river, it was the highest cable-stayed bridge in the world until 2012, when Mexico's Baluarte Bridge opened.

Pages: 5 - 5 Abstract: "THE E&T Innovation Awards are so important because they shine a light and give global recognition to difference makers." That is the view of IET's President Professor Danielle George, who goes on to describe why an evolution in the Awards has made their appeal that much greater. "I think [the awards] have always aligned well with everyday work in industry and academia, but this year we are reaching out to the wider community so that they can see how engineering fits into their everyday lives."

Very little reference is ever made to the actual cost- benefit of these ideas because we have now reached a position where anything that can be linked, however tenuously, to combatting climate change is uncritically viewed as a Very Good Thing.

Pages: 40 - 43 Abstract: MEMBERS OF THE Japan women's soccer team began the Olympic torch relay on 25 March this year, kicking off a four-month countdown to the Tokyo Summer Games after a year-long delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The brief opening ceremony - closed to the public and attended only by a small number of dignitaries - took place on a football pitch in J-Village. The sports complex lies just 20km south of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where a devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami killed more than 18,000 people and triggered a triple nuclear meltdown in 2011. J-Village was used as a base for the thousands of clean-up workers tasked with decommissioning the plant. PubDate:

But the fact that former US President Donald Trump issued an 'Executive Order on Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses,' as recently as March 2019, says much about the severity of the actual threat EMPs present to countries that are increasingly dependent on computers and electronic communications for most aspects of their military and commercial operations.

Such is the importance of these scientific contributions that they routinely accrue powerhouse citations ratings on bibliographic database services such as Web of Science and Google Scholar Over the decades, the IET and its predecessors have published thousands upon thousands of research papers. Here, today's editors have cherry-picked a handful of what they consider to be the most groundbreaking. PubDate:
