Cold-Electron Bolometer with a CNT as absorber should demonstrate record sensitivity due to the very low temperature that is predicted to be reached in the CNT (less than the phonon temperature). ...

These close-up images, taken by an electron microscope, reveal tiny one-cell organisms called halophiles and methanogens. In a two-year laboratory study, scientists subjected these organisms to increasingly lower temperatures to determine the coldest temperatures at which the microbes could survive and reproduce. The study shows the microbes could survive at below-freezing temperatures and are within the temperature range on present-day Mars. ... Maryland Astrobiology Consortium/NASA/STScI ...

We present simultaneous ultraviolet and optical observations of five flares on the very late type M dwarf Gl 866 (dM5.5e). A procedure to estimate the physical parameters of the flaring plasma has been developed using a simplified model of the flare and a comparison of observed and computed Balmer decrements. With this procedure we have determined the optical thickness, electron temperature and electron density of the flaring plasma at flare maximum for three spectroscopically observed flares. ...

On the afternoon of 19 October 1999, it was discovered by John Briggs that the secondary mirror in the 2.5m SDSS telescope had developed a series of circular cracks around its axis of symmetry. As the telescope had not been in use since the early morning of 16 October 1999, there was a great deal of concern and consternation as to what caused these fractures in the glass. ... 11/24/1999 ...
