| Unique microbes found in extreme environment Posted: 09 Jun 2012 12:24 PM PDT Researchers who were looking for organisms that eke out a living in some of the most inhospitable soils on Earth have found a hardy few. A new DNA analysis of rocky soils in the martian-like landscape on some volcanoes in South America has revealed a handful of bacteria, fungi, and other rudimentary organisms, called archaea, which seem to have a different way of converting energy than their cousins elsewhere in the world.  |
| Anthropologists finds high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk of Amerindian women Posted: 09 Jun 2012 12:24 PM PDT Anthropologists have found high levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids in the breast milk of economically impoverished Amerindian woman as compared to women in the United States.  |
| New anti-cancer vaccine developed and tested Posted: 09 Jun 2012 12:23 PM PDT Researchers have developed and tested in mice a synthetic vaccine and found it effective in killing human papillomavirus-derived cancer, a virus linked to cervical cancers among others.  |
| Hubble spots a bright spark in a nearby spiral galaxy Posted: 09 Jun 2012 02:16 AM PDT A new image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows a detailed view of the spiral arms on one side of the galaxy Messier 99. Messier 99 is a so-called grand design spiral, with long, large and clearly defined spiral arms -- giving it a structure somewhat similar to the Milky Way. In recent years, a number of unexplained phenomena in Messier 99 have been studied by astronomers. Among these is the nature of one of the brighter stars visible in this image.  |
| Instrument integration begins at Goddard on MMS spacecraft Posted: 09 Jun 2012 02:13 AM PDT The decks have arrived. Engineers working on NASA'S Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission have started integrating instruments on the first of four instrument decks in a newly fabricated cleanroom at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The MMS mission consists of four identical spacecraft, and each instrument deck will have 25 sensors per spacecraft.  |
| Microbes discovered in extreme environment on South American volcanoes Posted: 08 Jun 2012 01:01 PM PDT Scientists looking for organisms that eke out a living in some of the most inhospitable soils on Earth has found a hardy few living on volcanoes that reaching nearly 20,000 feet in height.  |
| U.S. Healthcare: 13. 7 million young adults stayed on or joined their parents' health plans in 2011 Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:07 AM PDT In 2011, 13.7 million young adults ages 19 to 25 stayed on or joined their parents' health plans, including 6.6 million who would likely not have been able to do so before passage of the Affordable Care Act, according to a new Commonwealth Fund report.  |
