| Mars spacecraft, including MAVEN, reveal comet flyby effects on Martian atmosphere Posted: 07 Nov 2014 12:47 PM PST Two NASA and one European spacecraft have gathered new information about the basic properties of a wayward comet that buzzed by Mars Oct. 19, directly detecting its effects on the Martian atmosphere. Debris from the comet, known officially as Comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring, caused an intense meteor shower and added a new layer of ions, or charged particles, to the ionosphere.       |
| Cybersecurity experts discover lapses in Heartbleed bug fix Posted: 07 Nov 2014 10:18 AM PST A detailed analysis by cybersecurity experts found that U.S. website administrators nationwide tasked with patching security holes exploited by the Heartbleed bug may not have done enough.  |
| On the Trail of Proteins: Scientists electrochemically detect protein binding on semiconductors Posted: 07 Nov 2014 10:17 AM PST Scientists have succeeded in electrochemically detecting protein binding on semiconductor materials for the first time, thanks to a newly developed investigative method based on differences in electrical charge. Now the physicists are working on an optical process to detect and localize protein binding directly under a microscope, for example, a method that could launch new applications in medical research and diagnostics.  |
| Maybe it wasn't the Higgs particle after all Posted: 07 Nov 2014 08:10 AM PST Last year CERN announced the finding of a new elementary particle, the Higgs particle. But maybe it wasn't the Higgs particle, maybe it just looks like it. And maybe it is not alone.  |
| Satellite images shed light, or lack thereof, on the impact of the Syrian conflict Posted: 07 Nov 2014 08:10 AM PST An interesting new article hypothesizes that night-time light can be a useful source for monitoring humanitarian crises, such as that unfolding in Syria.  |
| Plants return to Earth after growing in space Posted: 06 Nov 2014 01:51 PM PST Researchers have just welcomed a truck carrying small containers holding more than 1,000 frozen plants that germinated and grew aboard the International Space Station.  |
