Airway Monitoring: Today the crew performed the setup activities for the upcoming Airway Monitoring US Lab (ambient) session. The Airway Monitoring investigation aims to determine in detail the pulmonary nitric oxide (NO) turnover in weightlessness and in combined weightless, hypobaric and hypoxic environments. The goal is also to determine the lung diffusion capacity for NO … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2018/12/17/iss-daily-summary-report-12172018/

Researchers have developed a technique that, for the first time, allows single-crystal hybrid perovskite materials to be integrated into electronics. Because these perovskites can be synthesized at low temperatures, the advance opens the door to new research into flexible electronics and potentially reduced manufacturing costs for electronic devices. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218115214.htm

MicroCT scans of the Australopithecus fossil known as Little Foot shows that the brain of this ancient human relative was small and shows features that are similar to our own brain and others that are closer to our ancestor shared with living chimpanzees. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218115137.htm

Using the infrared satellite AKARI, a research team has detected the existence of water in the form of hydrated minerals in a number of asteroids for the first time. This discovery will contribute to our understanding of the distribution of water in our solar system, the evolution of asteroids, and the origin of water on Earth. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218100407.htm

Researchers have used observations from the ALMA radio observatory to measure, for the first time, the strength of magnetic fields near two supermassive black holes at the centers of an important type of active galaxies. Surprisingly, the strengths of the magnetic fields do not appear sufficient to power the 'coronae,' clouds of superheated plasma that are observed around the black holes at the centers of those galaxies. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218100402.htm
