Messenger Assembly Under Way Messenger Project
Laurel - Mar 19, 2003Start the countdown clock at one year: the effort to assemble and test the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (Messenger) spacecraft, set to embark next March on an historic voyage to the innermost planet, is well under way. Worried About Asteroid-Ocean Impacts? Don't Sweat The Small Stuff 
Tucson - Mar 19, 2003The idea that even small asteroids can create hazardous tsunamis may at last be pretty well washed up.

Crystals On A Ball
Arlington - Mar 17, 2003In a discovery that is likely to impact fields as diverse as medicine and nanomanufacture, researchers have determined how nature arranges charged particles in a thin layer around a sphere. The leap forward in understanding this theoretical problem may help reveal structural chinks in the outer armor of viruses and bacteria (revealing potential drug targets) and guide engineers designing new molecules. Tiny Cell-Based Chemical Detectors Have Homeland Security Potential 
Blacksburg - Mar 17, 2003A highly sensitive, inexpensive "lab-on-a-chip" that provides warning within seconds of even trace amounts of toxic chemicals in water was designed and demonstrated recently by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scientists and collaborators. |
