Podcast: Robots in Space

Space is totally inhospitable. If the freezing temperatures don't get you, the intense radiation will kill you. Or the vacuum, or the lack of breathable atmosphere, or meteoroid impacts. Well… you get the idea. That's why most space exploration is done by hardy robots. They don't need to eat, drink or breathe. They get their energy from the Sun, and they've proven they've got the right stuff to explore every planet and major moon in the Solar System. Let's hear it for the space robots.

Israeli bloggers try to counter anti-Israel Russian media bias

The use of blogs for Israeli information campaigns in Russia started with a basic text posted by Marek Bibichkov, a former advisor to Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak, on his blog in which he offered a simple explanation about the war in Gaza and the reasons for it. 20,000 hits a day indicated a news vacuum existed. "The information office" of the bloggers, most of whom worked for political parties in Israel looking for a way to win the Russian vote, organized spontaneously and operates independently, but receives backing and quiet cooperation from official information agencies that have identified the potential.

Handheld Alloy Analyser

Faster testing speeds and improved analytical performance are providedby a new detector for the Niton XLT3t alloy analysers. Measurement times are 10 times quicker than with conventional detectors, while accuracy is up to three times better than conventional silicon PIN detectors. Another advance is that the light elements aluminium, silicon, phosphorus and sulphur can be detected without the need for helium or vacuum purging. The detector uses new geometrically optimised large area drift detector (GOLDD) technology to deliver laboratory quality performance for these x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments. All the Niton XL3series analysers are supplied with Niton Data Transfer software, a suite of data management utilities.
