Tunnel vision
Criminals of all kinds are digging tunnels along the U.S. border at a fast and furious pace. Of every tunnel ever discovered by U.S. border patrol agents, 60 percent have been found in the last three years. Agents spot a new one every month. view more (2009-06-30)
The Radar Search For Martian Water
Until the last few years, Mars has been regarded as a cold, arid world that lost most of its water long ago. However, recent observations by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey spacecraft have provided tantalising evidence that huge amounts of water may be hidden just below the surface. Now, a powerful new instrument is poised to probe... view more... (2003-04-01)
Chasing high flying insects with radar
New developments to vertical looking radar (VLR) mean that scientists at Rothamsted, Harpenden are now tracking insects to find out where they go and how they behave when they take to the skies. "The sheer abundance of insects is amazing," says Dr Alan Smith of Rothamsted Radar Entomology Unit. "The actual biomass of insects above us on a... view more... (2002-06-26)
Ground breaking Research Into Effect Of Millimetric Waveband (MMW) Frequencies On Human Skin
Ground breaking research in understanding the characteristics of human skin at millimetric waveband (MMW) frequencies is being conducted at Cranfield University - academic partner to the Royal Military College of Science at Shrivenham, Oxfordshire. view more (2004-12-06)
Can Eurofighter's radar win UK's biggest engineering prize?
BAE Systems Avionics Group, based in Edinburgh, has been shortlisted for this year's £50,000 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award, the UK's most coveted prize for engineering innovation, for the world's first airborne radar that can see all the targets all the time. The unique ECR-90 microwave radar was developed specially for... view more... (2000-07-03)
Two other Mars missions heating up
Two Mars orbiter missions - one from NASA, the other from the European Space Agency (ESA) - will open new vistas in the exploration of Mars through the use of sophisticated ground-penetrating radars, providing international researchers with the first direct clues about the Red Planet's subsurface structure. view more (2006-03-07)
LAND MINES LEGACY REMAINS DESPITE BAN:
The Second International Conference on the Detection of Abandoned Land Mines, to be held in Edinburgh, 12-14 October, 1998 will hear experts from some 18 countries describe the progress being made on a whole range of approaches to this problem. view more (1998-08-19)
The MARSIS radar estimates the volume of water in the south pole of Mars
By studying the South Polar region of Mars, the MARSIS (Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding) radar of the Mars Express space probe has enabled the structure of the layered deposits of this region to be elucidated. view more (2007-04-02)
New research contributes to defense of Earth's technologies
University of Leicester researchers have taken a step forward in helping to create a defence for earth's technologies -from the constant threat of space weather. view more (2009-06-03)
RUBBER BULLETS NOT SAFE FOR CROWD CONTROL (p 1795)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET which highlights the injuries sustained by Arab demonstrators after clashes with Israeli forces in 2000 concludes that rubber bullets are not a safe form of ammunition for crowd control. Rubber bullets were first used by British forces in Northern Ireland in 1970. These missiles are intended to inflict... view more... (2002-05-22)
Radar tracking reveals that butterflies follow decisive flight paths
The charming meanderings of butterflies are not as random as they appear, according to new research. Scientists at Rothamsted Research, a research institute sponsored by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in Hertfordshire, have found that their seemingly irresolute flutterings are in fact decisive flight paths. The... view more... (2005-04-05)
Unique weather radar to investigate snowfall
The Department of Physical Sciences at the University of Helsinki has acquired a state-of-the-art polarimetric weather radar. view more (2006-03-20)
New technology could revolutionize breast cancer screening
The world's first radar breast imaging system developed at Bristol University that could revolutionise the way women are scanned for breast cancer, is being trialled at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT). view more (2008-11-12)
Mars Express radar to be deployed in May
Following green light for the deployment of ESA's Mars Express radar, given in February this year, the radar booms are now planned to be deployed in the first half of May. Once the deployment is successful, the Mars Express MARSIS radar will enable the first European spacecraft to orbit Mars to complement its study of the planet's atmosphere and... view more...

Mars Express radar gauges water quantity around Mars south pole
The amount of water trapped in frozen layers over Mars' south polar region is equivalent to a liquid layer about 11 metres deep covering the planet. view more (2007-03-16)
NESTA radar hits water leaks
What would you use to try and find an underground water leak, your ears or radar? Believe it or not the only way to find water leaks involves trying to hear the hiss of the leak through a device like a stethoscope. This antiquated system could soon be a thing of the past as a fast and full-proof method using radar is being developed thanks to an... view more... (2003-07-14)
Geologists finding a different Mars underneath
Scientists are finding an older, craggier face of Mars buried beneath the surface, thanks to pioneering sounding radar co-sponsored by NASA aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft. view more (2006-12-14)
NASA Looks at Hurricane Cloud Tops for Windy Clues
Scientists at NASA are finding that with hurricanes, they can look at the cloud tops for clues about the behavior of winds below the hurricane on the Earth's surface. view more (2006-05-17)
ESA leads the way to map boreal forest
How best to map 'boreal' or northern forest with spaceborne radar is the focus of an ESA campaign currently underway in northern Sweden. view more (2008-10-21)
Radar opens new window into the ice for Antarctic scientists
