"America's Spirit rover has landed in an arid enclave of Mars that is tantalisingly out of reach of the region's most promising sediments and rocks, dismayed scientists have discovered," Science Editor Robin McKie reports for Guardian Unlimited.
A team of U.K. scientists has developed a robot scientist to do their job for them," Gillian Law reports from London. "The robot, and the computer system with which it works, have been developed to help generate hypotheses about the function of particular genes on baker's yeast, and then carry out experiments to test them."
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have cooled a sodium gas to the lowest temperature ever recorded — only half-a-billionth of a degree above absolute zero.
A solar flare can create up to a pound of antimater, the Astrophysical Journal Letters reports in an overview of a project drawing data from NASA's Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft.
