Reconstructing an ancient death ray

I like it when college students get together with TV shows...oh wait a minute...that doesn't happen often.  In this case it's MIT and the Discovery Channel program "MythBusters."  MIT, always looking for a good headline, joined up with another university and the cable channel to recreate the "death ray" featured in the writings of Greek mathematician Archimedes.


Did it work? Well it did have some interesting results. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
