Brown Planetary Geologists Lend Expertise to Mercury Mission
What lies on the uncharted side of mysterious Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system? Brown University students, led by planetary geologist James Head, will study never-before-seen images of Mercury when a NASA spacecraft makes the first visit to Mercury in nearly 33 years. view more (2008-01-14)
Unlocking the secrets of tooth enamel could improve dental care products
Materials scientists in the UK are using their expertise to probe the chemical and mechanical properties of the enamel surface of the human tooth. The research is shedding new light on how tooth enamel responds to attack by acids and could lead to new dental care products that help teeth to replace mineral that has been lost. The work is being... view more... (2002-05-28)
Shadow technique improves measurement of micro holes
Sometimes seeing a shadow can be as good or better than seeing the real thing. A new measurement method developed by researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a case in point view more (2005-06-02)
Virtual biopsy can tell whether colon polyp is benign without removal, Mayo researchers say
A probe so sensitive that it can tell whether or not a cell living within the human body is veering towards cancer development may revolutionize how future colonoscopies are done, say researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. view more (2008-05-22)
Unique gathering of spacecraft yields new views, clues on Jupiter's magnetosphere
A space probe carrying British-designed and operated instruments has helped scientists to understand the magnetosphere surrounding Jupiter better than ever before. view more (2002-02-26)
Story ideas surrounding the eclipse
Sun cults: New research indicates that the origin of Apollo, the Greek sun God, is to be found in northern Europe and not in Middle East as previously thought. Furthermore, the Ancient Greeks saw solar eclipses as a display of "Girl Power!", according to Roger Doonan, from Bournemouth University. The ancient Greeks would have explained the eclipse... view more... (1999-08-09)
Stock Market Swings Help Researchers Understand Extreme Events in Solar Wind
Astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have applied data analysis methods used to model stock market fluctuations, to explore changes in the solar wind (the sun's expanding atmosphere). They have discovered that the fluctuations in the solar wind follow the same kinds of patterns seen in the stock markets - particularly when it comes to the... view more... (2002-07-25)
Universally Speaking, Earthlings Share a Nice Neighborhood
We don't have spacecraft to take us outside our solar system--not yet, at least. Still, astronomers thought they had a pretty good understanding of how our solar system formed and in turn, how others formed. view more (2008-08-11)
Leading experts in organic solar cells say the field is being damaged by questionable reports
In the latest issue of Elsevier's Materials Today the leading magazine for researchers in areas of advanced materials science, Dr. Gilles Dennler of Konarka Austria GmbH and twenty other experts warn that an unseemly race to report organic solar cells (OSCs) with world record efficiencies is leading to a significant number of published papers... view more...

Archive Trawl Gives Bison Three Decades Of Solar Music
Scientists in Birmingham have scoured the archives and put together a complete archive of helioseismic data for nearly three solar cycles. The results from reprocessing the data will shed light on the link between helioseismology, the study of sound waves resonating within the Sun, and solar activity. Dr Graham Verner will be presenting... view more... (2005-03-30)
Swedish solar telescope bursts dream barrier
The first pictures from the new Swedish solar telescope on La Palma, Canary Islands, are presented in an article in the prestigious science journal Nature from November 14. The images of the sun are the most detailed ever seen. One of the most sensational discoveries is a previously unknown detailed sunspot structure. The impact of this discovery... view more...

Rosetta begins its 10-year journey to the origins of the Solar System
Europe's Rosetta cometary probe has been successfully launched into an orbit around the Sun, which will allow it to reach the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014 after three flybys of the Earth and one of Mars. During this 10-year journey, the probe will pass close to at least one asteroid. Rosetta is the first probe ever designed to enter... view more... (2004-03-02)
Cosmic connections: Imperial scientist locates the origin of cosmic dust
The research, published in the journal Geology, shows that some of the cosmic dust falling to Earth comes from an ancient asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. This research improves our knowledge of the solar system, and could provide a new and inexpensive method for understanding space. view more (2008-09-03)
Measuring the health of the sea
Last summer Donostia City Council in the Basque Country installed a special buoy in the city's Concha Bay for the first time. The apparatus carried out analyses of the water quality in order to verify its suitability for bathing. This buoy was anchored at the bottom of the sea, halfway between the Santa Clara islet and the Concha and Ondarreta... view more... (2003-07-28)
ESA chairs the International Living With a Star programme
ESA is providing the first chairman for the International Living With A Star (ILWS) programme. ILWS is an unprecedented initiative in which space agencies worldwide are getting together to investigate how variations in the Sun affect the environment of Earth and the other planets, in the short and long term. In particular, ILWS will concentrate... view more... (2003-02-21)
Huygens sets off with correct spin and speed
On Christmas Day 2004, the Cassini spacecraft flawlessly released ESA's Huygens probe, passing another challenging milestone for Cassini-Huygens mission. But, with no telemetry data from Huygens, how do we know the separation went well? view more (2005-01-11)
New findings on the birth of the solar system
A team of international astrophysicists, including Dr Maria Lugaro from Monash University, has discovered a new explanation for the early composition of our solar system. view more (2009-07-20)
Physicists find evidence for highest energy photons ever detected from Milky Way's equator
Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator. view more (2005-12-14)
Major grant drives forward cost efficient solar power
Whether the search for alternative energy sources is driven by our concern about global fossil fuel supplies or over the atmospheric effects of burning of fossil fuels, the government has laid out its aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60% of 1990 levels by 2050, and aims to over- achieve its goal of sourcing 10% of energy from renewables by... view more...
