OSIRIS Spectrograph Identifies Surface Mineral Chemical Composition of Jupiter's Moon Europa

Jupiter's moon Europa is believed to possess a large salty ocean beneath its icy exterior, and that ocean, scientists say, has the potential to harbor life. Indeed, a mission recently suggested by NASA would visit the icy moon's surface to search for compounds that might be indicative of life.

Crystallography, NMR and Simulation Reveal Movement of Molecules within Crystals

X-ray crystallography reveals the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, thus making it possible to understand how it works and potentially use this knowledge to subsequently modulate its activity, especially for therapeutic or biotechnological purposes. For the first time, a study has shown that residual movements continue to animate proteins inside a crystal and that this movement "blurs" the structures obtained via crystallography.

MRO's Imaging Spectrometer Detects Signatures of Hydrated Minerals on Martian Slopes

New findings from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) — including data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), built and operated by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland — provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.
