Physicists Capture First Images Of Atomic Spin![]() Though scientists argue that the emerging technology of spintronics may trump conventional electronics for building the next generation of faster, smaller, more efficient computers and high-tech devices, no one has actually seen the spin-a quantum mechanical property of electrons-in individual atoms until now. In a study published as an Advance Online Publication in the journal Nature Nano ... more Cassini Measures Tug Of Enceladus ![]() NASA's Cassini spacecraft will be gliding low over Saturn's moon Enceladus for a gravity experiment designed to probe the moon's interior composition. The flyby, which will take Cassini through the water-rich plume flaring out from Enceladus's south polar region, will occur on April 27 Pacific time and April 28 UTC. At closest approach, Cassini will be flying about 100 kilometers (60 miles ... more Cassini Saturnalia ![]() In the latest outing for the Star Trek movie franchise, the young James T Kirk races the newly commissioned USS Enterprise at maximum warp speed back to the solar system. Kirk must rescue the Earth from the ravages of the driller killer machine that the maverick Romulan Nero has already used to destroy the planet Vulcan. Ensign Chekhov suggests that they hide the Enterprise within the Satu ... more |

![]() Washington DC (SPX) Apr 26, 2010 As the Hubble Space Telescope achieves the major milestone of two decades on orbit, NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, or STScI, in Baltimore are celebrating Hubble's journey of exploration with a stunning new picture and several online educational activities. There are also opportunities for people to explore galaxies as armchair scientists and send personal greetings to Hubble for posterity. NASA is releasing a new Hubble photo of a small portion of one of the largest known star-bir ... read more |
