Exploring Mars ... from Grenoble
A neutron diffraction experiment carried out recently at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble by the physicists Bachir Ouladdiaf (ILL), Gérard Fillion and Rafik Ballou (Laboratoire Lois Néel, CNRS, GRENOBLE), in partnership with the geophysicists Pierre Rochette (CNRS and Université d'Aix-Marseille) and Lon Hood (University... view more...

Relic of life in that Martian meteorite? A fresh look
Since the mid-1990s a great debate has raged over whether organic compounds and tiny globules of carbonate minerals imbedded in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 were processed by living creatures from the Red Planet. view more (2006-03-23)
CDX2 — A protein that promotes leukemia
Researchers from Harvard Medical School, Boston, have found that most individuals with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) inappropriately express a protein known as CDX2 in their leukemic cells. view more (2007-03-08)
Life hitching a ride to Earth: Bugs could travel to Earth in comfort aboard Martian meteorites
FOR the first time, millions of bacterial spores have been purposely exposed to outer space, to see how they are affected by solar radiation. The results support the idea that life could have arrived on Earth in the form of bacteria carried from Mars on meteorites. The idea that life started... view more... (2002-01-09)
Mixed feelings about marriage
Despite recent reports on the decline of marriage as an institution, it is simplistic to suggest that society, a particular generation or even one individual displays an anti-marriage attitude. New research shows that people will express both very optimistic and very cynical views, depending on the specific question they are being asked about... view more... (1999-03-12)
Ferrari Red Paint Competes For An Extraordinary Qualification
Ferrari has recently faced some tough challenges on the racetrack, but achieving the qualifications that will allow its famous red paint "Rosso Corsa" to go into space is another story altogether. In July, three test containers of Ferrari`s red paint "Rosso Corsa" arrived at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The... view more... (2002-08-21)

Every Friday CORDIS Express will select, summarize and put into context through a single and... view more... (2002-09-26)
Gullies on Mars show tantalizing signs of recent water activity
Planetary geologists at Brown University have found a gully fan system on Mars that formed about 1.25 million years ago. The fan offers compelling evidence that it was formed by melt water that originated in nearby snow and ice deposits and may stand as the most recent period when water flowed on the planet. view more (2009-03-02)
Rovers begin new observations on changing Martian atmosphere
Mars rover scientists have launched a new long-term study on the Martian atmosphere with the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer, an instrument that was originally developed at the University of Chicago. view more (2007-08-30)
Industry asked to design Mars rover and payload
Is there life on other worlds or is planet Earth the only place in our Solar System where living organisms have evolved? ESA is inviting European and Canadian industry to participate in its exciting ExoMars mission in order to provide an answer to this age-old question. On 9 July, the Aurora Programme Office issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT)... view more... (2003-07-22)
Exploring the final frontier: Disease proposed as major barrier to Mars and beyond
New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that prolific virulence and growth of bacteria, coupled with reduced production of antibodies could limit future space travel. view more (2009-10-30)
Glaciers Reveal Martian Climate Has Been Recently Active
The prevailing thinking is that Mars is a planet whose active climate has been confined to the distant past. About 3.5 billion years ago, the Red Planet had extensive flowing water and then fell quiet - deadly quiet. It didn't seem the climate had changed much since. view more (2008-04-24)
ESA prepares mission to search for life on Mars
Before humans can leave their boot prints on the dusty surface of Mars, many questions have to be answered and many problems solved. One of the most fundamental questions - one that has intrigued humankind for centuries - is whether life has ever existed on Mars, the most Earthlike of all the planets. Through its long-term Aurora Programme of... view more... (2004-02-23)
Launching PPARC's Five Year Strategy Programme
PPARC's Five Year Strategic Programme is now available online at http://www.pparc.ac.uk/Pbl/pubs.asp Over one hundred delegates from Parliament, Whitehall and Industry attended a reception on Tuesday night (25 November) to mark the launch the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council's (PPARC) Five Year Plan. The reception, which was... view more... (2003-12-02)
For the paper trail of life on Mars or other planets, find cellulose
Looking for evidence of life on Mars or other planets? Finding cellulose microfibers would be the next best thing to a close encounter, according to new research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2008-03-31)
Gifted Students Create Martian Movies and Design their Own Space Odyssey
Some of the brightest kids in the country who are members of the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth (NAGTY), based at the University of Warwick, will explore life on other planets and create an animation of what Mars probe Beagle 2 may have found if it had suceeded, or what NASA's roving US Mars probes have still to discover, on... view more...

Protein identified that turns off HIV-fighting T cells
In HIV-infected patients the body's immune system is unable to fight off the virus. A new study to be published online on November 10th in the Journal of Experimental Medicine shows that T cells in HIV-infected individuals express a protein called TIM-3, which inactivates their virus killing capacity. view more (2008-11-10)
Psychologists show new ways to deal with health challenges in space
As NASA prepares to send humans back to the moon and then on to Mars, psychologists are exploring the challenges astronauts will face on missions that will be much longer and more demanding than previous space flights. view more (2008-08-15)
Deep faults and disrupted crater at Acheron Fossae
These images were taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express of the Acheron Fossae region, an area of intensive tectonic (continental 'plate') activity in the past. The images show traces of enormous stress and corresponding strain in the crust of the Red Planet. The HRSC was pointed twice at this interesting... view more... (2004-05-07)
Brown papers reveal widespread, hardworking water on ancient Mars
For decades, scientists have theorized - romanticized, even - that Mars has harbored water. The evidence has grown stronger as recent missions to the Red Planet have revealed in stunning detail Martian topography, mineralogy and clues to past climate. But how much water, where it was or is located and what it was doing have been hard to pin down. view more (2008-07-17)
