| NASA Curiosity rover team selects second drilling target on NASA Posted: 10 May 2013 04:33 PM PDT The team operating NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has selected a second target rock for drilling and sampling. The rover will set course to the drilling location in coming days.  |
| Sifting through atmospheres of far-off worlds Posted: 10 May 2013 04:28 PM PDT Gone are the days of being able to count the number of known planets on your fingers. Today, there are more than 800 confirmed exoplanets -- planets that orbit stars beyond our sun -- and more than 2,700 other candidates. What are these exotic planets made of? Unfortunately, you cannot stack them in a jar like marbles and take a closer look. Instead, researchers are coming up with advanced techniques for probing the planets' makeup.  |
| Perfectly doped quantum dots yield 'colors to dye for' Posted: 10 May 2013 09:45 AM PDT This focuses on an ultra-precise method for doping the tiny semiconductors produces vivid hues.  |
| New endurance record for small electric unmanned aerial vehicle Posted: 10 May 2013 09:45 AM PDT Using liquid hydrogen fuel stored in a new NRL-developed cryogenic fuel storage tank, the flight shatters the previous 26-hour record set by the UAV in 2009.  |
| Posted: 10 May 2013 07:21 AM PDT By extending the coherence time of electron states to over half a second, scientists have improved the performance of one of the most potent sensors of magnetic fields on the nanoscale -- a diamond defect no bigger than a pair of atoms called a nitrogen vacancy center. The achievement is important news for nanoscale sensors and quantum computing.  |
| New magnetic graphene may revolutionize electronics Posted: 10 May 2013 04:55 AM PDT Researchers have managed to give graphene magnetic properties. The breakthrough opens the door to the development of graphene-based spintronic devices, that is, devices based on the spin or rotation of the electron, and could transform the electronics industry.  |
