| NASA Mars Orbiter Speeds Past Data Milestone |
| NASA's newest Mars orbiter, completing its fourth year at the Red Planet next week, has just passed a data-volume milestone unimaginable a generation ago and still difficult to fathom: 100 terabits. That 100 trillion bits of information is more data than in 35 hours of uncompressed high-definition video. It's also more than three times the amount of data from all other deep-space missions combined ...continue |

| Biggest, Deepest Crater Exposes Hidden, Ancient Moon |
| Shortly after the Moon formed, an asteroid smacked into its southern hemisphere and gouged out a truly enormous crater, the South Pole-Aitken basin. Glimpses of the original surface, or crust, are rare, and views into the deep crust are rarer still. Fortunately, a crater on the edge of this basin may provide just such a view ...continue |

| Scientists Find Signs of Snowball Earth Amidst Early Animal Evolution |
| Geologists have found evidence that sea ice extended to the equator 716.5 million years ago, bringing new precision to a "snowball Earth" event long suspected to have taken place around that time. The new findings bolster the theory that our planet has, at times in the past, been ice-covered at all latitudes ...continue |

| Arctic Shelf Methane Releases may be Larger, Faster than Anticipated |
| A section of the Arctic Ocean seafloor that holds vast stores of frozen methane is showing signs of instability and widespread venting of the powerful greenhouse gas, according to scientists whose research shows that the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is perforated and is starting to leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Release of even a fraction of the methane could trigger abrupt climate warming ...continue |

| Exotic Antimatter Detected at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider |
| Scientists studying high-energy collisions of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have published evidence of the most massive antinucleus discovered to date. The new antinucleus is a negatively charged state of antimatter containing an antiproton, an antineutron and an anti-Lambda particle. It is also the first antinucleus containing an anti-strange quark ...continue |

Pen-based computing in the laboratory
Bill Weaver, Ph.D
This past summer of 2008, we searched for a PDA replacement for use by our new batch of sophomores. The university had no plans to distribute and support iPhones (much to the dismay of the students). However, after some sleuthing, we discovered the logical successor to the PDA — a digital “smartpen” ...continue |
