 An archiving error by NASA meant 173 data tapes sat in Perth, Western Australia for almost 40 years! ABC Australia said that the tapes containing information about lunar dust were lost before having been archived. They have been kept in a climate-controlled room and can now be used again to find information vital in expanding science's understanding of the moon. The Apollo 11, 12 and 14 missions carried "dust detectors", invented by Perth physicist Brian O'Brien. T |

Google is working with NASA to design and implement a revolutionary new scheme for space communication. Vinton G. Cerf, vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google (responsible for identifying new enabling technologies and applications on the Internet and other platforms for the company) is working with a team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), where he is also a visiting scientist, and at the MITRE Corporation, based in Washington, DC, to design and implement a revolutionary new scheme for space communication. Cerf told Technology Review that he hopes that by 2010, new space missions will be designed to use the new protocols. |

 Researchers from the University TU Delft (Netherlands) invented a robot that can imitate the human walking. The Flame robot is the most advanced robot in the world in terms of human walking. This comes after several similar projects failed. The Flame robot weights 15 kilograms and is 1.3 meters high. Flame can move to 0.45 meters per second. The Flame robot has 7 engines and an inertia sensor. Flame can handle 8 mm tall stairs. The coordinator of the scientists who invented this robot, Daan Hobbelen social sciences researcher, said that Flame is the most advanced robot in the world in terms of human walking. |

 What is the part of the brain that has an important role in fear extinction?
According to the famous quote by Marie Curie “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood”, the scientists worked hard to understand more about the part of the brain responsible for overcoming fear. They found special cells in the brain that allow animals to overcome fear and anxiety by recalling memories of similar situations when they were unafraid. We knew from previous analyses that a part of the brain called the amygdala-an almond-shaped mass of cells deep in the brain—plays an important role in this process.

The Antro Solo from Hungary is a gas-electric hybrid car with a unique power arrangement that also utilizes solar energy.
While the Antro Solo is obviously in the prototype phase, many of its technologies are fascinating. To keep weight low, it’s built entirely out of carbon fiber and composites. The engine is a gas-electric hybrid with a twist. A large array of roof-mounted photo-cells can charge the battery to extend the EV range. The Solo comes with pedals that each passenger can crank in order to charge the battery. This car combines renewable energy with fitness training.The Antro Solo is also one of the strangest looking cars on the green horizon.With its light weight and design the Antro Solo is able to get about 150 mpg and has a top speed of 87 mph. These are excellent stats for a green car. |
