Observe the Deep Impact Spacecraft Close In On Comet Tempel 1
Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 14, 2005An interactive 3D orbital plotter has been developed to show the trajectories of the Deep Impact spacecraft as it approaches and runs closely past comet Tempel 1. Safe On Mars: Part II 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Feb 14, 2005The National Research Council was tasked with evaluating the risks of landing humans safely to work on Mars. Their report highlights a number of unique aspects in transit to the red planet, as well as once humans step out onto the surface. Pollution Can Convert Airborne Iron Into Food For Phytoplankton 
Atlanta GA (SPX) Feb 14, 2005A surprising link may exist between ocean fertility and air pollution over land, according to Georgia Institute of Technology research reported in the Feb. 16 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres. |
Physicists Hear High-Tech Whistle While They Work
Berkeley CA (SPX) Feb 14, 2005It was music to the ears of physicists at the University of California, Berkeley, when they forced liquid helium-4 through thousands of tiny holes and heard a whistling sound. Scientists Find Flaw In Quantum Dot Construction 
Athens OH (SPX) Feb 14, 2005Nanoscientists dream of developing a quantum computer, a device the size of a grain of sand. They've identified tiny artificial atoms � called "quantum dots" � as the most likely materials to build these machines, but have been puzzled by the dots' unpredictable behavior. New Measurement Undermines Theories For Hidden 'Particle-Force' 
Rochester NY (SPX) Feb 14, 2005A new measurement by a student and professor at the University of Rochester has shed new light on the limits of scientists' standard model of physics. |

Threat Of Ice Dams Returns As Himalayas Melt
Grenoble, France (AFP) Feb 13, 2005Mountain areas have long been recognised as being vulnerable to global warming, with rising temperatures damaging a fragile habitat for wildlife and threatening the future of low-altitude ski resorts. New System Can Measure Productivity Of Oceans 
Corvallis OR (SPX) Feb 14, 2005Researchers at Oregon State and NASA have announced the discovery of a method to determine from outer space the productivity of marine phytoplankton � a breakthrough that may provide a new understanding of life in the world's oceans. Findings By Scripps Scientists Cast New Light On Undersea Volcanoes 
San Diego CA (SPX) Feb 14, 2005Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have produced new findings that may help alter commonly held beliefs about how chains of undersea mountains formed by volcanoes, or "seamounts," are created. |
Researchers Uncover Secrets Behind Nanotube Formation
Atlanta GA (SPX) Feb 14, 2005Nanotubes are ubiquitous in the world of science. Although several methods for making them exist, little is known about how these techniques physically produce the hollow fibers of carbon molecules known as nanotubes, that is until now. Devising Nano Vision For An Optical Microscope 
Gaithersburg MD (SPX) Feb 14, 2005Contrary to conventional wisdom, technology's advance into the vanishingly small realm of molecules and atoms may not be out of sight for the venerable optical microscope, after all. Carnegie Mellon, United Defense To Provide TUGV's for US Marine Corps 
Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Feb 14, 2005Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Consortium and United Defense Industries have been awarded a contract with the U.S. DoD's Joint Program Office for Robotic Systems to design, develop and produce tactical unmanned ground vehicles for the US Marine Corps. |
