...will travel so far from the sun, solar power was not an option ? LORRI - A high-resolution telescope and camera capable of detecting features about the size of a football field ? REX - Uses radio waves to analyze the atmosphere and determine night-side temperature ? ALICE - Analyzes ultraviolet light to determine atmospheric composition ? RALPH - Makes color maps of the surfaces of Pluto and Charon and uses infrared measurements to determine surface composition ? SDC - Built by students in Colorado, this instrument will count and measure dust particles in space throughout the journey...
InnovaLight is exploiting the work of Brian Korgel at the University of Texas in Austin, a board member, to create nanoparticles of uniform size. The firm already tunes its fluid-stored silicon nanoparticle mix to capture everything from infrared to ultraviolet and the visible spectrum in between. Conversely, it can infuse the fluid into thin, flexible panels that emit a controlled range of light--2-nanometer particles for blue, 10 nanometers for orange. Blending particle sizes produces white light...
...edge by enhancing the dips and curves of a distant putting green. Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts credits his MaxSights with boosting his batting average last season; Michelle Wie wore them during her professional debut. The lenses, like those in any decent pair of sunglasses, also filter out ultraviolet rays. Next Product: Just Smashing...
...telescope surveys of four lunar regions: Taurus-Littrow, Hadley-Apennine-landing site of Apollo 15-the unexplored Aristarchus impact crater and nearby Schroter?s Valley. Though ground-based telescopes would ordinarily be suitable for this work, in this case they wouldn?t do, since the scientists were looking for ultraviolet reflections of ilmenite, a frequency of light absorbed by Earth?s atmosphere. The only way to conduct the work was to get above that blinding blanket and look across clear, airless space. When Hubble did that, it quickly spotted paydirt...
...best way to avoid all types of skin cancer is simply to stay out of the sun, especially during the peak-intensity hours of midday. For those who cannot resist its lure, doctors urge the use of sunscreens designed to block ultraviolet radiation. People who have already had a basal-cell carcinoma run a 25% risk of developing another and must be especially cautious. Last week Reagan admitted that this advice was "a little heartbreaking ... because all my life I've lived with a coat of tan, dating back to my lifeguard days...
