Shhhh. Don't shut the window, someone may hear. It sounds ridiculous that someone can eavesdrop through a closed window but this James Bond spy gadget is very much real.

Your vocal chords vibrate when you pass air over them and that's how we make speech noise. Those vibrations pass through the air and make our eardrums vibrate which in turn becomes signal that our brains can understand and, hey presto we have language and a conversation.

When it comes to our double glazing we all like the peace of mind that comes with security locks and toughened safety glass. Just watch an old spooky film and the windows are forever smashing as soon as the wind gets up.

The lady in white, seen through a window is a common paranormal sighting around the world. Often appearing as a grainy or smudged image in a photograph these spooky apparitions make the hairs on our necks tingle. But are they real or are they faked? Opinion is often fiercely divided so we thought we'd investigate the science behind the "ghost in the glass."

The Tate Modern in London has launched an exhibition of Edvard Munch's paintings. Noted for his most famous painting of a haunted person on a pier screaming, aptly titled, "The Scream" we ask how loud the scream was and whether double glazing is an effective sound proofer.

Some of the players at this year's Wimbledon tennis championships have begun using Smart Rackets. These new rackets contain an array of electronic sensors that help to improve a player's technique. Clever stuff, people are even saying that they will replace tennis coaches in the future. But what exactly is Smart Technology and why is it better than the old technology.

Although modern day double glazing was invented in the 1930s, it took a further 30 years before we started putting it into everyday homes. The 1960s saw double glazing become available to us in the UK and since then we’ve been making our homes warmer and warmer.

Brrrrrr and we think we've got it cold here in the UK. We all love a good moan about the weather here in blustery Blighty and that's because it's either too hot, too cold, or too wet, but rarely too dry – unless you live in Suffolk. Next time you wake up on a winter's morning and, from your toasty centrally-heated bedroom, look out of your double glazed windows onto the frosty lawn below just spare a thought for the residents of Oymyakon in Siberia, officially the coldest inhabited place on the planet.

Love him or hate him, you certainly can't deny that Justin Bieber is anything but enthusiastic. As he bounces from country to country, city to city and concert to concert his energy never seems to diminish. However, at a recent gig in Paris, he bounced just a little too hard, knocking himself out as he pranced into a huge glass wall.

Double glazing window technology inspires the next generation of thermal outdoor clothing.

When it comes to warmer homes it's the gas in the Safestyle glass that saves the cash.

We've had glass for a few thousand years now so it's not surprising that we often take our double-glazing for granted. Sometimes though, you just have to step back in awe at the science that goes into creating modern, energy efficient windows. The crucial element that makes Safestyle double glazing work even better than others is the pocket of Argon gas that sits between the two panes of glass in a glazing unit.

The UK never seems to fail to underestimate the true extent of the British weather. Just a few weeks ago there was a rigid hosepipe ban in place for parts of the country as we suffered with droughts, and stark warnings were sent out that the ban would not be lifted for some time as we would need too much rain, much more than we could (hope to?) expect. But the British weather has prevailed, lashing the country with monsoon type weather this June.
