Cinemagazine items: A little machine deals with dirty glasses - it washes, dries and sterilises them at the rate of one every three seconds; severly disabled people can drive around like the rest of us by steering by foot; a working model of the solar system illuminates and illustrates many of the mysteries of astronomy; research at St Andrew’s University into the survival mechanisms of the human cell, is revealing something of the complex ways in which they work.
