Foot-dragging Mars Rover Finds Yellowstone-like Hot Spring Deposits

Deposits of nearly pure silica discovered by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in Gusev Crater formed when volcanic steam or hot water (or maybe both) percolated through the ground. Such deposits are found around hydrothermal vents like those in Yellowstone National Park. That's the conclusion of planetary scientists working with data collected by the rover's Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Mini-TES), developed at Arizona State University.

Robot finds signs of Martian life

Hot springs capable of sustaining life once bubbled away on the surface of Mars, researchers say after Spirit, a robotic explorer vehicle, detected tell-tale deposits of silica on the surface of Mars. Jack Farmer, a professor of astrobiology at Arizona State University, said: “On Earth, hydrothermal deposits teem with life and the associated silica deposits typically contain fossil remains of microbes,” said Jack Farmer, a professor of astrobiology at Arizona State University in the United States.

Could Amyloid Deposits Have Potential As Nanomaterials?

Amyloid deposits in tissues and organs are linked to a number of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, type II diabetes, and prion diseases such as BSE. However, amyloids are not just pathological substances; they have potential as a nanomaterials. “The potential applications of these supramolecular assemblies exceed those of synthetic polymers,” state Ehud Gazit and co-author Izhack Cherny in the journal Angewandte Chemie, “since the building blocks may introduce biological function in addition to mechanical properties.”

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Deposits of silica detected in 2007 by the US robot Spirit on Mars were formed by volcanic vapors or hot-spring-type events crossing through soil and could contain traces of past life, scientists found in a study out Thursday.

Hot spring deposits `found` on Mars

Arizona, May24: Scientists claim to have found evidence which indicates the presence of yellowstone-like hot spring deposits on Mars - a finding that clearly suggests the Red Planet is wetter than previously believed.

Prodisc subject to provisional seizure of bank deposits due to CD-R licensing dispute with Philips

Prodisc Technology, a second-tier Taiwan-based maker of blank optical discs, on May 6 announced that a local court in the Taipei area has approved a request by Royal Philips Electronics for the provisional seizure of bank deposits worth up to NT$100 million (US$3.28 million) in total due to its failure to fulfill licensing for CD-R disc patents owned by Philips, according to Prodisc's filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE). Prodisc emphasized that its business operation has not been substantially affected by the event and it will protect its rights by launching an interlocutory appeal.

What happens when a bank fails?

To say it's disconcerting to find that your bank has been shut down by authorities is probably an understatement. We asked David Barr, spokesman for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., or FDIC, about the procedure. The FDIC is an independent agency of the federal government. It is charged with insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions up to $100,000 per depositor in individual accounts and $250,000 in retirement accounts. Deposits held in different categories of ownership may be insured separately.

Spirit Unearths Former Yellowstone on Mars

Spirit's gimpy right front wheel has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The Mars Exploration Rover traversing around the Gusev Crater region on Mars has been forced to drive in reverse, dragging the jammed wheel behind. But that wheel gouged a trench a few inches deep through the Martian soil, revealing deposits of nearly pure silica that scientists believe formed when volcanic steam or hot water (or maybe both) percolated through the ground. Such deposits are found around hydrothermal vents like those in Yellowstone National Park, and when active, usually teem with life.
