Tonight: Robots on Mars, hunting for
life on Mars? 01/03/2004 03:22 PM
Magic may happen this evening. The USA will attempt to safely land a scientific golf cart on Mars at about 8.30pm, California time:

Two NASA (news - web sites) Mars landers -- Spirit and Opportunity -- are speeding toward "sweet spot" touch down sites at different, but scientifically attractive locations on Earth's mysterious neighbor.

The opening act in this $820 million drama to place dual robot geologists on Mars is the landing of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) dubbed Spirit tonight at about 8:35 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST). The target: Gusev Crater -- a possible former lake in a giant impact crater on Mars. Primary among the mission's scientific goals is to search for and characterize a wide range of rocks and soils that hold clues to past water activity on Mars

New Scientist (almost) gets it

New Scientist (almost) gets it 09/15/2004 09:25 AM
There's a great article in the New Scientist about the dangers in IP extremism. As it rightly notes,

THERE are some things in life we take for granted. Among them are the ability to lend each other books, record TV programmes, back up expensive computer programs, and sell on our old CDs when we've got tired of them. ... That could change. New technologies are giving copyright owners the power to control the time and place we can view or play digital versions of music, films and text so tightly that we run the risk of losing these rights altogether.

But to read the article at the New Scientist website, you'll need to subscribe. Oh well. One step at a time.

Robotic Scientist - Scientists created a closed, automated system to conduct simple labor intensive scientific experiments in molecular genetics. The robot creates hypothesis and tests them. Supposedly it works more efficiently (picks less expensive experiments, and fewer of them) then its human counterparts (graduate students in biology and comp sci.). More detailed article in Nature here (institutional access / subscription required). I for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Animals laugh says scientist

Animals laugh says scientist 04/06/2005 12:36 PM
David Pescovitz: Dogs, chimps, and rats laugh when they're having fun, according to psychologist Jack Panksepp of Bowling Green State University. Reporting in the journal Scien ce, Panksepp suggests that laughter may be an ancient emotional response older than humans. From BBC News:

Young chimps "play pant" as they mischievously chase and tickle each other.

And when rats play, they make chirps which some scientists associate with positive emotional feelings.

When rats are tickled in a playful way, they become socially bonded to humans and are rapidly conditioned to seek tickles, the US neuroscientist explains in Science.

Scientist Who Faked Data Loses PhD. 06/14/2004 02:05 AM
Two years ago the physics world was buzzing over accusati ons that a young physicist working at Bell Labs had faked the data for his impressive research. The research had been so impressive, in fact, that many expected him to receive the Nobel Prize. Instead, he quickly lost his job. Two years later, he's lost even more, as the University of Constance, where he obtained his PhD., has now revoked the degree from Jan Hendrik Schoen.
