What Goes Around Comes Around In Atmospheric Chaos
Washington - May 20, 2002
The most abundant sulfur gas in the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere is carbonyl sulfide. While carbonyl sulfide is formed naturally, it is also produced through a chemical reaction in the atmosphere involving carbon disulfide, a chemical produced by a variety of industrial processes.
Peak Hour In Deep Space
Pasadena (JPL) May 20, 2002
So many spacecraft - so little time - tracking time, that is. It's something of a luxury these days because of the dozens of space missions sprinkled around the solar system routinely competing for the undivided attention of the few antennas capable of communicating with their spacecraft.
The Right Stuff For Building Spintronic Devices
Buffalo - May 20, 2002
A team of researchers led by University at Buffalo physicists reported today that they have created semiconducting materials that exhibit the key properties that are essential to the development of semiconductor spintronic devices.
Extreme Machine Simulates Space Conditions
Paris (ESA) May 20, 2002
Incredible extremes of temperature that can switch in an instant, startling vacuum conditions, not to mention radiation -- it's a tough life for a spacecraft. So it is essential to make sure they are prepared to withstand these conditions before they are launched into this wholly unfriendly environment.
Mice May Save Smokers From Their Stupidity
 London - May 20, 2002

  Mass Extinction Gave Way To Eon Of Stability
Blacksburg - May 20, 2002
 Marine life had to re-evolve after two major extinctions in order for shrimp and whales and other sea life as we know it to come into being.
Age Of Dinosaurs: Between Asteroids
New York - May 20, 2002
 Scientists have postulated that an asteroid or comet impact and the resulting death of Triassic competitors allowed a few groups of carnivorous dinosaurs to evolve in size very quickly and dominate the top of the terrestrial food chain globally.
Manned Spaceflight A Foreseeable Goal
Beijing - May 20, 2002
