 Life-Probing Instrument Preparing for Mission to MarsA new life-detecting instrument is preparing for a mission to the Red Planet. The Urey: Mars Organic and Oxidant Detector instrument, developed by a scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC ... |
 Mars Express in orbit around MarsArtificial intelligence (AI) being used at the European Space Operations Centre is giving a powerful boost to ESA's Mars Express as it searches for signs of past or present life on the Red Planet. |
NASA, M2MI work on satellite developmentThe U.S. space agency says it and the Machine to Machine Corp. have signed an agreement to make "nanosats" to improve space telecommunications. |
Vitamin D in brain functionIn a definitive critical review, scientists at Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland ask whether there is convincing biological or behavioral evidence linking vitamin D deficiency to brain dysfunction. Joyce C. McCann, ... |
 Biogas production is all in the mixingEngineers at Washington University in St. Louis, using an impressive array of imaging and tracking technologies, have determined the importance of mixing in anaerobic digesters for bioenergy production and ... |
 Researchers mimic bacteria to produce magnetic nanoparticlesWhen it comes to designing something, it’s hard to find a better source of inspiration than Mother Nature. Using that principle, a diverse, interdisciplinary group of researchers at the U.S. Department of ... |
NASA Sets Sights on Lunar Dust Exploration MissionNASA is preparing to send a small spacecraft to the moon in 2011 to assess the lunar atmosphere and the nature of dust lofted above the surface. |
 Regional nuclear conflict would create near-global ozone hole, says CU-Boulder studyA limited nuclear weapons exchange between Pakistan and India using their current arsenals could create a near-global ozone hole, triggering human health problems and wreaking environmental havoc for at least ... |
 No Speed Limit on MarsIt's a good thing there's no speed limit on Mars, because the next parachute to fly to the red planet will deploy faster than you can legally drive on a California freeway. |
 NASA Launches Airborne Study of Arctic Atmosphere, Air PollutionNASA Launches Airborne Study of Arctic Atmosphere, Air Pollution WASHINGTON -- This month, NASA begins the most extensive field campaign ever to investigate the chemistry of the Arctic's lower atmosphere. ... |
 MIT aims to search for Earth-like planets with Google's helpMIT scientists are designing a satellite-based observatory that they say could for the first time provide a sensitive survey of the entire sky to search for planets outside the solar system that appear to ... |
 Physicists Bring Quantum Computing Closer to RealityResearchers at the U. S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Microsoft Station Q have made significant advancements in understanding a fundamental problem ... |
 Researchers developing system to efficiently convert biomass to ethanolIowa State University researchers are developing an integrated system of thermochemical and catalytic technologies to efficiently produce ethanol from plant biomass. |
Introspective experiences inform inferences about similar people -- but not dissimilarUsing fMRI scanning, researchers have found that the region of the brain associated with introspective thought is also accessed when inferring the thoughts of other people who are similar to oneself. However, this is not ... |
Physicists discover how fundamental particles lose track of quantum mechanical propertiesIn today’s Science Express, the advance online publication of the journal Science, researchers report a series of experiments that mark an important step toward understanding a longstanding fundamental physics ... |
