• New recipes for origin of life may point way to distant, inhabited planets
  Life on a faraway planet - if it's out there - might not look anything like life on Earth. But there are only so many chemical ingredients in the universe's pantry, and only so many ways to mix the...

• Mars rover converts CO₂ into oxygen
  The growing list of "firsts" for Perseverance, NASA's newest six-wheeled robot on the Martian surface, includes converting some of the Red Planet's thin, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere into oxygen....

• Molecular water discovered on the moon
  For the first time, the SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) flying observatory has provided direct and unambiguous evidence of water molecules on the moon beyond the permanent ...

• Carbon monoxide detectors could warn of extraterrestrial life
  Carbon monoxide detectors in our homes warn of a dangerous buildup of that colorless, odorless gas we normally associate with death. Astronomers, too, have generally assumed that a build-up of carb...

• Tiny chemistry lab to seek evidence of life on Mars
  An international team of scientists has created a tiny chemistry lab for a rover that will drill beneath the Martian surface looking for signs of past or present life. The toaster oven-sized lab, c...
• Chemical composition of aircraft exhaust aerosols investigated
  Can aircraft pollutant emissions be reduced by using biofuels? And what influence does an alternative tank filling have on the formation of contrails? In mid-January, a joint German Aerospace Cente...

• A novel interpretation of Raman spectra will help the 2020 Mars rover
  In 2020, NASA plans to launch a new Mars rover that will be tasked with probing a region of the planet scientists believe could hold remnants of ancient microbial life. The rover will collect sampl...

• Agricultural insecticides pose a global risk to surface water bodies
  Streams within approx. 40% of the global land surface are at risk from the application of insecticides. These were the results from the first global map to be modelled on insecticide runoff to surf...

• Research on the Aerosol Composition in the Upper Atmosphere
  Professor Dr. Stephan Borrmann receives a grant of EUR 2.75 million from the European Research Council (ERC) for research into the chemical composition of aerosols and clouds in the upper atmospher...

• Mössbauer Group of Mainz University is preparing for participation in Japanese Moon mission
  The Mössbauer Group at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), Germany, has made a significant contribution towards the exploration of Mars during its long-term cooperation with the US space age...
• Tracking down Antimatter in the Universe
  On April 29, 2011, the AMS-02 Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer will take off from the NASA launch site Cape Canaveral (Florida) to the International Space Station ISS on board the space shuttle Endeavou...

• Ocean Optics Spectrometer Confirms Water on the Moon
  Spectrographic data taken from an Ocean Optics spectrometer has helped NASA confirm the presence of water ice on the moon. The spectrometer, custom re-engineered for space duty by Aurora Design & T...
• Ocean Optics Jaz Spectrometer Tops Mount Everest
  Ocean Optics, the industry leader in miniature spectroscopy, recently provided a Jaz Modular Sensing Suite to the trek crew of Return to Everest 2009 - a crew including Keith Cowing, Miles O'Brien,...
• ALICE Finally Sent 'To The Moon': Ocean Optics Spectrometer launched on NASA LCROSS Mission
  A custom-engineered spectrometer from Ocean Optics, part of the scientific payload on NASA's Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission, was successfully launched into space on...

• Thermo Fisher Scientific Instruments Analyze Samples on Mars
  Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the progress of the Thermo Scientific Orion 229918 sensor assembly that is part of the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA) instrument us...
