Applying techniques used to scope out caves on Earth to probe the possibility of caves on Mars is paying off.   view more (2007-04-03)

Media invitation: The world we created? : Risking our environment
Scientific and technological advances are, by their very nature, risky. Experimentation is an investigation of the unknown. Without taking risks, some of the things we take for granted in today's society - such as antibiotics or pesticides - would not have been possible. But has a fear of the... view more (2004-04-22)

Melting of the Greenland ice cap may have consequences for climatic change
According to two international-research studies on the last ice age, studies with the participation of Dr Rainer Zahn, research professor in the ICREA at the UAB Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), before the great ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean began to melt, early sporadic... view more (2007-05-08)

ESA sets the date for Mars Express launch
Just before midnight on 2 June (23:45 local time, 19:45 CET) a Soyuz rocket operated by Starsem will lift off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, and Mars Express will be on its way. The spacecraft was given the green light to launch following completion of a successful flight readiness review on 3 May.... view more (2003-05-05)

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... view more (2006-03-07)

How Life Originated In Space
Life originated on the Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the scientists are still disputing over the possible sources of the life origin. The matter is that life on our planet evolved from the molecular level to the level of bacteria organisms within 0.5 - 1 billion years, this period... view more (2002-04-12)

Earth Summit must address the "double bottom line": tackling poverty without costing the earth.
Governments meeting at the Earth Summit this month should agree to a global action plan to get clean energy to the third of humanity who currently lack access to modern energy, according to a paper released by ITDG today. Over two billion people in the developing world lack any access to... view more (2002-08-16)

Press invitation: "The first check-up of the Earth", media event Frascati, Italy
During the night of 28 February/1 March, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched its Envisat satellite on an Ariane 5 launcher from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.   view more (2002-03-14)

Ancient mineral shows early Earth climate tough on continents
A new analysis of ancient minerals called zircons suggests that a harsh climate may have scoured and possibly even destroyed the surface of the Earth's earliest continents.   view more (2008-06-16)

Extinction
Two teams of British scientists have produced the best evidence yet that our planet is experiencing a mass extinction. Two separate papers, published in Science 19 March and funded largely by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) highlight the serious concerns that have been growing among... view more (2004-03-18)

ASU geologists suggest Mars features are result of meteorite strikes, not of evaporated lakes
Geologic features at the Opportunity landing site on Mars were formed not by a lake that evaporated but by constant strikes from meteorites, say two Arizona State University geologists.   view more (2005-12-22)

Science From Space
Scientists working at the Bristol Glaciology Centre at the University of Bristol will be staying up all night to watch the lift-off of the largest and most powerful Earth observation satellite ever to be launched by the European Space Agency. The satellite, called ENVISAT, is 25 metres high, ten... view more (2002-02-28)

ESA`s shortcut to a comet
Night owls across Europe, get ready. On the night of 18-19 November 2002, you may see a spectacular sky show. As tiny particles in Comet 55/P Tempel-Tuttle`s tail enter Earth`s atmosphere, they will pierce through it, heating up, and finally explode. Welcome to one of the most spectacular natural... view more (2002-11-15)

Artificial gravity: the next small step?
Dr Kevin Fong will talk about artificial gravity, one of the latest technologies being considered for human missions to Mars, in an event organised by the Royal Institution on 11 May 2004. The latest results from the Mars Rovers are impressive but the red planet will not yield its secrets easily.... view more (2004-04-13)

School-based overweight prevention program may cut risk of eating disorders among girls
Eating disorders among adolescent girls and boys can have substantial negative impact on their health and lead to dangerous weight-control behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting or abusing laxatives or diet pills to control weight.   view more (2007-09-04)

Lunar rocks suggest meteorite shower
New age measurements of lunar rocks returned by the Apollo space missions have revealed that a surprising number of the rocks show signs of melting about 3.9 billion years ago, suggesting that the moon - and its nearby neighbor Earth - were bombarded by a series of large meteorites at that time.   view more (2006-04-13)

Hot climate could shut down plate tectonics
A new study of possible links between climate and geophysics on Earth and similar planets finds that prolonged heating of the atmosphere can shut down plate tectonics and cause a planet's crust to become locked in place.   view more (2008-05-13)

A Fresh Spin in Quantum Physics: The 'Spin Triplet' Supercurrent
For the first time, scientists have created a "spin triplet" supercurrent through a ferromagnet over a long distance.   view more (2006-02-16)

Our planet is star of the Earth and Space Expo
Visiting the Earth and Space Expo in Brussels is like nowhere else on Earth - you even take what seems like a walk through the sky to get inside!

Deep Impact extended mission heads for comet Hartley 2
NASA has given a University of Maryland-led team of scientists the green light to fly the Deep Impact spacecraft to Comet Hartley 2 on a two-part extended mission known as EPOXI. The spacecraft will fly by Earth on New Year's Eve at the beginning of a more than two-and-a-half-year journey to... view more (2007-12-19)

Scientists lose instruments, gain first look at seafloor formation
Ordinarily, losing almost all of one's instruments would be considered a severe setback to any scientist. But when Maya Tolstoy, a marine geophysicist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, a member of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, recently learned that two-thirds of the... view more (2006-11-27)

The Universe, seen under the Gran Sasso mountain, seems to be older than expected
Some nuclear fusion reactions inside stars occur more slowly than we thought and, as a consequence, stars themselves, as well as galaxies and the entire universe are a bit older than expected. This is what comes out from the last results of Luna experiment (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear... view more (2004-05-13)

No place for life to hide from Mars Express
Of all missions sent to Mars only one, the Viking 26 years ago, has dared to search for life. Its only conclusive result was that finding proof of extraterrestrial life proved to be much harder than expected. Second attempts never followed. Until now. ESA`s Mars Express, the next mission to the... view more (2002-09-03)
