Macworld: A California company called Lytro has developed a revolutionary new camera that allows users to focus an image after it’s been shot. Lytro uses a microlens array to capture four-dimensional light-field information. With software and processing, that information can be used to improve the image later. In a Q&A with Lytro’s executive chair Charles Chi, Tim Moynihan asks him about the light-field technology, best types of sensors, and licensing possibilities with camera and camera-phone manufacturers.

Nature: According to a study released yesterday by the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, severe flooding will be the most urgent problem the country could face as a result of climate change. The study examines 100 potential consequences of climate change for the UK in a number of different climate scenarios, drawing on climate projection models made in 2009. Flooding currently costs the UK around £1.3 billion (US$2.04 billion) per year; the study predicts that by the 2080s, it could cause £2.1 billion to £12 billion worth of damages each year.

BBC: In the future oil spills and waste water could be cleaned up by combining the properties of magnetism and soap. Julian Eastoe of the University of Bristol and colleagues added iron atoms to soap molecules and found that the atoms clumped together into nanoparticles that responded to a magnetic field. The soap and any materials it picks up, can then be removed from water by applying a magnetic field.
