The Daily Telegraph science editor, Roger Highfield - the first man to bounce a neutron off a soap bubble - has been appointed editor of New Scientist. Highfield, who is leaving the Daily Telegraph after more than 20 years, will become the weekly science news magazine's ninth editor and will help with its expansion into America and India. "I have had two fantastic decades at the Daily Telegraph, where I have managed to do so much more than write news and feature articles," Highfield said. "From the very first day I was recruited in 1986, I have been fortunate to work with many exceptional people. I am especially grateful to my editor, William Lewis, for the exciting and unprecedented opportunities he has given me to explore what the web has to offer journalism. "I will have the chance to lead a fantastically talented team to take New Scientist into New markets and to enhance its reputation as the best source of novel ideas and New thinking on the planet." Prior to the Telegraph, Highfield was news editor of Nuclear Engineering International and clinical reporter for family doctors magazine Pulse. He has an MA and DPhil in chemistry from the University of Oxford and also worked as a Scientist at Unilever and the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France, where he became the first person to bounce a neutron off a soap bubble. Highfield has written six books and edited leading geneticist Craig Venter's A Life Decoded. New Scientist ...

Every week, New Scientist has an "Enigma" puzzle. I've always thought they should be easy to solve with programming, so this week I decided to try it. Here's this week's puzzle: Using each of the digits 1 to 9, find a 3-digit positive integer divisible by 7 whose reverse is an integer also divisible by 7, a 3-digit positive integer divisible by 9 whose reverse is an integer also divisible by 9, and a 3-digit positive integer divisible by 11 whose reverse is an integer also divisible by 11. What are the smallest and largest of your six integers? So basically you want all three digit numbers not containing zero. When you are examining candidates, the numbers should use "each" of the digits, not just "any". My program is still getting too many results. Either I'm missing something fundamental or their is an ambiguity in the spec. ...
