Travel To Mars Could Be Harmful![]() A Russian scientist says manned Martian flights could render a male astronaut sterile, shrink his musculature and weaken his bones. Valeri Polyakov's comments came during an international symposium on gravitational physiology that began Monday at Moscow's Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosti reported. Fleshing Out Martian Proteins ![]() Imagine having a modern biology lab on another planet. Then imagine putting that lab on a tiny silicon chip. That portable concept - when applied to detecting the building blocks of life, amino acids - is being investigated for future Mars missions. |
Morning Star Crosses Star![]() While Venus shares with Earth a similar size (95%) and mass (80%), its thick greenhouse atmosphere has transformed a potential terrestrial twin into a hostile, burning acidic world. SWAP To Determine Where The Sun And Ice Worlds Meet ![]() The Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument aboard the New Horizons spacecraft is designed to measure the interactions of Pluto and Charon with the solar wind, the high-speed stream of charged particles flowing out from the sun. |
The Geology Of Mars Mid-'04![]() But while the ability of Spirit to locate water-deposited and -modified material on Mars' surface is still in doubt, its twin Opportunity has rather stolen its thunder by finding solid proof of such material almost as soon as it landed on the strange, flat, hematite-covered Meridiani Plain. Click For Print Friendly Version Pay Me Or Get Deleted ![]() A penny for your thoughts would take on a new meaning if spammers were charged for every e-mail message they sent. University of Michigan researchers have a proposal to do just that. |
DFG Funds First European Drilling Expedition To North Pole![]() In August 2004, a new and exciting chapter will be opened in the history of Arctic research. In the Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX), three icebreakers will set off in the direction of the North Pole to extract cores from beneath the Arctic seafloor. Ultra-Cold Neutron Source Confirmed As World's Most Intense ![]() Some slow, cold visitors stopped by Los Alamos National Laboratory last week, and their arrival could prove a godsend to physicists seeking a better theory of everything. "Ultimately, we want to be able to bottle ultra-cold neutrons and watch them decay, giving us new insights into particle physics," said Los Alamos physicist Tom Bowles. |
Staying Number One, Is CSA's Priority![]() "The California space enterprise community now has a plan to achieve the vision of California leading the world in all aspects of space exploration and development, a goal which no other state and few nations can reach," said Andrea Seastrand, California Space Authority's executive director. Bloomberg Selects Mainstream Data For Worldwide VSAT Solution ![]() Mainstream Data announced that it has been awarded a contract by Bloomberg LP to provide a custom global distribution platform for Bloomberg News. |
Towards Intelligent Assistants![]() Be it telephones, navigation systems, video games, or printers � it is the electronics that increasingly decide the success of a product. Electronic devices should be able to communicate with one another and be small and inexpensive. Using Brain-Like Circuits To Operate Navy Robots ![]() Researchers in New York City are teaming with the U.S. Navy and scientists in Russia to build electronic circuits that mimic the brain, producing an agile controller that can maneuver robot vehicles with speed and precision. |
