Amateurs shown to have crucial role in scientific discovery
Everyone knows how science is advanced. We can all picture the serried rows of white-coated scientists working methodically in their laboratories, with instruments flickering and bright towers of glassware on every bench. The way that a new discovery sweeps across the world is familiar to everyone. Science, they say, is a highly professional activity. As a recent much-publicised debate concluded,...

Research Europe 1 August issue: embryo delays, Commission intelligence, Framework's impact, aerospace R&D and Finnish plans.
Ministers put off embryo decision A final decision on Framework 6's approach to research involving human embryos and embryonic stem cells is likely to be delayed until the end of 2003. However, under a compromise expected to be agreed by EU member states in coming weeks, work on existing stocks of stem cells will be funded up to that date. View More (2002-08-01)
Stanford students fly in zero gravity to protect satellites from tiny meteoroids
Orbiting the Earth is risky business for a satellite. Over a hundred billion meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere every day, and while big, fierce, spacecraft-crushing meteoroids are rare, even the tiniest ones are a hazard. View More (2010-11-22)

Study concludes aerospace industry must evolve new ways to recruit and retain future engineers
Aerospace companies must consider offering newly recruited workers flexible job assignments and a variety of projects to remain competitive with other scientific fields of employment. View More (2010-04-20)
EU signs agreement with Israel on renewed participation in research programme
"Europe and Israel can clearly benefit from joint endeavours in the scientific field," said European Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin. "Israel has achieved excellence in sectors such as micro-electronics, aeronautics and life sciences. The new agreement will also pave the way to enhanced dialogue between Arabs and Israelis. Research is an area where contacts and co-operation... View More (2003-06-10)

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a facility aimed at learning precisely how coal and biomass are broken down in reactors called gasifiers as part of a project to strengthen the scientific foundations of the synthetic fuel economy. View More (2010-09-16)
Recycling of Aeronautics Components
The use of composite materials in the aeronautic industry has been increasing since (in the 70s in the North American market and the 80s in Europe) they started to be used in commercial aviation as a substitute for classic materials such as metals. View More (2006-01-05)
MIT rocket aims for cheaper nudges in space
Satellites orbiting the Earth must occasionally be nudged to stay on the correct path. MIT scientists are developing a new rocket that could make this and other spacecraft maneuvers much less costly, a consideration of growing importance as more private companies start working in space.
