26、t published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.That is a useful topic to explore.

27、 they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions （碰撞）.Unfortunately, solid information is hard to come by. Daniel Parisi, the papers lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.Dr Parisi and his team went（o Iwo different rooftop loc

29、risingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near.

Painted on a building, the new paint could help cut cooling costs and energy use.Many different reflective cooling paints have been developed over the years, but they all have their drawbacks. For the new study, the Purdue researchers developed a new methodusing ca
36、lcium carbonate （碳酸钙）fillers, which are much richer, cheaper, and absorb less ullraviolet （紫夕卜线的）light. And the new reflective cooling paint can give off more sunlightreflecting 95.5 percent of the light that strikes it. Thats better than many of the otherpaints in development, which manage between
37、80 and 90 percent, although it falls short of the record holderthe Teflon coating, which reflects 98 percent of light.The team tested the new coating outdoors over two days, and showed that under direct sunlight it remained 1.7QC below the surrounding temperature. In another set of tests, the resear
38、chers painted some parts of a pattern with the new paint, and others with a regular white paint of the same thickness. Using a special camera, they couki see the pattern clearly, (hanks to the difference in temperature between the two materials.The team says that the new paint could not only help co
39、ol buildings, but prevent outdoor electrical systems from overheating. But to ensure that it is commercially practicable, the researchers next plan to investigate how well it lasts out in the environment.“The cost of our paint may be comparable to other commercial paints or even lower than them/ say
