How Microbes Could Help Colonize MarsMoffett Field CA (SPX) Sep 10, 2010 Tiny rock-eating microbes could mine precious extraterrestrial resources from Mars and pave the way for the first human colonists. Just don't expect them to transform the red planet's surface into a new Earth on a short deadline, researchers say. One of the most promising planetary colonizers comes in the form of cyanobacteria.

Sock-pairing robot a promising match for software gurusSan Francisco (AFP) Sept 7, 2010 Willow Garage is out to transform the world of robotics with a formula that has helped make stars of Apple gadgets and Facebook. The Northern California company believes that third-party applications can do for robots what they did for the iPhone and the world's top online social networking service. An open-source ross.org software platform along with a PR2 robot priced at 400,000 dollars combine in a technology mix that lets software savants craft applications to make machines do their bidding. ... read more |
