NSF-supported scientists present new research results on Earth's critical zone at 2018 AGU fall meeting

NSF-supported scientists present new research results on Earth's critical zone at 2018 AGU fall meeting Find related stories on NSF's Critical Zone Observatories . The thin veneer of Earth's surface that stretches from the top of the forest canopy to the base of bedrock is called the critical zone. It's where fresh water flows, rock turns to soil and life flourishes. To develop a deeper understanding of the critical zone, the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports nine Critical Zone ...

A big step toward the practical application of 3D holography with high- performance computers

Computer scientists have succeeded in developing a special purpose computer that can project high-quality 3D holography as a video. With the newly developed 'phase type' HORN-8, the calculation method for adjusting the phase of light was implemented, and the researchers were successful at projecting holography information as a 3D video with high-quality images. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128082711.htm

Microscope measures muscle weakness

Biotechnologists have developed a system to accurately measure muscle weakness caused by structural changes in muscle tissue. The new method allows muscle function to be assessed using imaging without the need for sophisticated biomechanical recordings, and could in future even make taking tissue samples for diagnosing myopathy superfluous. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128082713.htm

Blue Brain Project releases first-ever digital 3D brain cell atlas

The Blue Brain Cell Atlas is like 'going from hand-drawn maps to Google Earth' -- providing previously unavailable information on major cell types, numbers and positions in all 737 brain regions. This comprehensive, interactive and dynamic online resource allows anyone to visualize every region in the mouse brain, cell-by-cell and in 3D, and freely download data for new analyses and modelling. It can also be continuously be updated with new findings. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128082718.htm

ISS Daily Summary Report – 11/27/2018

CASIS PCG-16 card fill: The crew continued the PCG Card Micro-G card fill that was not fully completed the previous day. This was performed using some of today’s microscope observation time due to the relatively short lifetime of the protein precipitant solution. Crystallization of LRRK2 Under Microgravity Conditions-2 (CASIS PCG 16) evaluates growth of Leucine-rich … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2018/11/27/iss-daily-summary-report-11272018/
