Metallic Glass Yields Secrets Under Pressure
NEW
Mar. 16, 2010
Metallic glasses are emerging as potentially useful materials at the frontier of materials science research. They combine the advantages and avoid many of the problems of normal metals and glasses, two classes of materials with a very wide range of applications. For example, metallic glasses are less brittle than ordinary glasses and more resilient than conventional metals. Metallic glasses also have unique electronic behavior that scientists are just beginning to understand.

The Smell of Salt Air, a Mile High and 900 Miles Inland
NEW
Mar. 10, 2010
The smell of sea salt in the air is a romanticized feature of life along a seacoast. Wind and waves kick up spray, and bits of sodium chloride – common table salt – can permeate the air. It is believed that as much as 10 billion metric tons of chloride enters the air mass through this process each year, but just a tiny fraction – perhaps one-third of 1 percent – does anything but fall back to the surface.

First Temperate Exoplanet Sized Up
NEW
Mar. 18, 2010
Combining observations from the CoRoT satellite and the ESO HARPS instrument, astronomers have discovered the first “normal” exoplanet that can be studied in great detail. Designated Corot-9b, the planet regularly passes in front of a star similar to the Sun located 1500 light-years away from Earth towards the constellation of Serpens (the Snake).

Absorbing Hydrogen Fluoride Gas to Enhance Crystal Growth

Dec. 10, 2009
Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a method to control the buildup of hydrogen fluoride gas during the growth of precision crystals needed for applications such as superconductors, optical devices, and microelectronics. The invention — by Vyacheslav Solovyov and Harold Wiesmann and recently awarded U.S. Patent number 7,622,426 — could lead to more efficient production and improved performance of these materials.

Lockheed Martin C-5M Super Galaxy Is 'Effective, Suitable And Mission Capable' For USAF Operations
NEW
Mar. 10, 2010
The Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Center has rated the Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] C-5M as "effective, suitable and mission capable" based on results from OT&E testing completed in January 2010. The OT&E phase spanned four months, evaluating various performance aspects to validate the capability and reliability of the C-5M. These positive test results enable the Super Galaxy to continue to support critical missions flown in support of world-wide operational contingencies.

New Method to Prevent Heart Attacks
NEW
Mar. 17, 2010
Cardiovascular disease is by far the absolute most common national disease in Sweden and a little more than 26,000 people are treated every year at hospitals due to acute cardiac infarction, according to the Heart and Lung Foundation. KTH researcher Matilda Larsson at the School of technology and health at KTH has recently defended her thesis and her research aims at developing methods which can as early as possible assess the risk of cardiovascular disease.

First Global Estimates of Long-Term Fine Particulate Matter Concentrations Show High Impact on Air Quality in Many Regions
NEW
Mar. 16, 2010
A study published 16 March 2010 ahead of print in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) finds that many developing countries have high long-term levels of aerosol air pollution. The study is the first to use satellite data to estimate long-term fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations across the entire globe.

The Cassini Mission
Zooming in on Adiri
NEW
Mar. 17, 2010
The Cassini spacecraft takes a look through the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon to spy light and dark in the area called Adiri on Titan. This view looks toward the moon's anti-Saturn side and is centered on terrain at 2 degrees south latitude, 218 degrees west longitude. North on Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) is up and rotated 6 degrees to the left.

Planck sees tapestry of cold dust
NEW
Mar. 18, 2010
Giant filaments of cold dust stretching through our Galaxy are revealed in a new image from ESA's Planck satellite. Analyzing these structures could help to determine the forces that shape our Galaxy and trigger star formation. Planck is principally designed to study the biggest mysteries of cosmology. How did the Universe form? How did the galaxies form? This new image extends the range of its investigations into the cold dust structures of our own Galaxy.

Nanedi Vallis: Tributaries and Albedo Changes
NEW
Mar. 18, 2010
This HiRISE image shows a part of Nanedi Vallis, one of the Martian valley networks. The valley networks are thought to have formed by flowing water in the distant past when the climate on Mars was warmer and wetter than it is today. Some scientists have suggested that the valley networks could have been produced in a climate like the dry, cold one of Mars today if the liquid water was protected by an overlying ice layer.

WISE Captures a Cosmic Rose
NEW
Mar. 17, 2010
A new infrared image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars. The stars, called the Berkeley 59 cluster, are the blue dots to the right of the image center. They are ripening out of the dust cloud from which they formed, and at just a few million years old, are young on stellar time scales.

The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard the ESA spacecraft Mars Express took this image of the Phobos Grunt landing area using the HRSC nadir channel on 7 March 2010, HRSC Orbit 7915. The image resolution is 4.4m per pixel and the insert marks the proposed landing region and sites for Phobos-Grunt.

F-35B STOVL: vertical landing

Mar. 12, 2010
The first Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT] F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter passes overhead at 40 knots (46 mph) prior to a slow landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., on Wednesday, March 10. The flight was one of the last missions before the aircraft's first vertical landing, and confirmed the jet's power and controllability at very low speeds.

SOHO Pick of the Week II
Suicide Comets
NEW
Mar. 15-22, 2010
The SOHO spacecraft captured a very bright, sungrazing comet as it rocketed towards the Sun (Mar. 12, 2010) and was vaporized. This comet is arguably the brightest comet that SOHO has observed since Comet McNaught in early 2007. The comet is believed to belong to the Kreutz family of comets that broke up from a much larger comet many hundreds of years ago. They are known to orbit close to the Sun. A coronal mass ejection (CME) burst away from the Sun during the bright comet’s approach.

CME Bursts: Harbingers of Activity to Come?

Mar. 14-21, 2010
The Sun showed some signs of life recently (Mar. 6-10, 2010) with two good-sized coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and several minor ones. SOHO captured the action with its C2 coronagraph in which the sun is blocked out (by the circular occulting disk in the center of the image) to reveal the faint structures in the corona.
 
Shocking recipe for making killer electrons
NEW
Mar. 11, 2010
Take a bunch of fast-moving electrons, place them in orbit and then hit them with the shock waves from a solar storm. What do you get? Killer electrons. That’s the shocking recipe revealed by ESA’s Cluster mission. Killer electrons are highly energetic particles trapped in Earth's outer radiation belt, which extends from 12 000 km to 64 000 km above the planet’s surface.

Why Do We Assume
NEW
Jan. 02 2010
That all mass and energy is quantized. Many observations of the quantum world suggest the existence of a continuous non-quantized form of mass and energy. For example in 1924 Louis de Broglie theorized that all particle posse wave properties. Science does not question the validity of this concept because it is the foundation of a theory known by the name of wave mechanics, a theory which has utterly transformed our knowledge of physical phenomena on the atomic scale.
