  Bath UK (SPX) Sep 23, 2019 A new nanomaterial developed by scientists at the University of Bath could solve a conundrum faced by scientists probing some of the most promising types of future pharmaceuticals. Scientists who study the nanoscale - with molecules and materials 10,000 smaller than a pinhead - need to be able to test the way that some molecules twist, known as their chirality, because mirror image molecules with the same structure can have very different properties. For instance one kind of molecule smells of lem ... read more |

 Providence RI (SPX) Oct 11, 2019 
The discovery of ice deposits in craters scattered across the Moon's south pole has helped to renew interest in exploring the lunar surface, but no one is sure exactly when or how that ice got there. A new study published in the journal Icarus suggests that while a majority of those deposits are likely billions of years old, some may be much more recent.

 Jiuquan, China (XNA) Sep 02, 2019 
Two satellites for technological experiments were sent into space by a Kuaizhou-1A, or KZ-1A, carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Saturday.
The rocket blasted off at 7:41 a.m. and sent the two satellites into their planned orbit.
Kuaizhou-1A, meaning speedy vessel, is a low-cost solid-fuel carrier rocket with high reliability and a short prep ... more |

 College Park MD (SPX) Oct 10, 2019 
University of Maryland (UMD) scientists have carried out a novel statistical analysis to determine for the first time a global picture of how the ocean helps predict the low-level atmosphere and vice versa.
They observed ubiquitous influence of the ocean on the atmosphere in the extratropics, which has been difficult to demonstrate with dynamic models of atmospheric and oceanic circulation ... more |

 Washington DC (UPI) Oct 08, 2019 
Scientists in Switzerland have developed an infrared spectrometer small enough to fit on a computer chip. The technology could allow smart phones to perform chemical analysis.
Today's infrared spectrometers weigh several pounds. They are often bulky and difficult to integrate with mobile devices.
The compact infrared spectrometer developed by researchers at ETH Zurich - describe ... more |

 Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan (AFP) Oct 10, 2019 
A court in Kazakhstan has sentenced a China expert to 10 years in prison for treason, the national security committee said on Thursday.
Konstantin Syroezhkin, 63, was an employee of the state-run Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies when his detention was reported earlier this year.
Although the national security committee, the KNB, did not say whom Syroezhkin was accused of spying ... more |

 Boston MA (SPX) Oct 04, 2019 
Dark matter was likely the starting ingredient for brewing up the very first galaxies in the universe. Shortly after the Big Bang, particles of dark matter would have clumped together in gravitational "halos," pulling surrounding gas into their cores, which over time cooled and condensed into the first galaxies.
Although dark matter is considered the backbone to the structure of the univer ... more |

Astronomers have pieced together the cannibalistic past of our neighbouring large galaxy Andromeda, which has now set its sights on the Milky Way as its next main course.
The galactic detective work found that Andromeda has eaten several smaller galaxies, likely within the last few billion years, with left-overs found in large streams of stars.
