 Washington DC (SPX) Nov 20, 2019 
Camp managers and other local officials overseeing Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh are now incorporating NASA satellite observations into their decision making in order to reduce the risk to refugees from landslides and other natural hazards. Information like daily rain totals can help inform how to lay out refugee camps and store supplies.
More than 740,000 Rohingya refugees have fle ... more |

 Pasadena CA (JPL) Nov 21, 2019 
Earth's climate is changing, and the study of oceans is vital to understanding the effects of those changes on our future. For the first time, U.S and European agencies are preparing to launch a 10-year satellite mission to continue to study the clearest sign of global warming - rising sea levels. The Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission (short for Jason-Continuity of Service), will be the longest-runnin ... more |

 Singapore (SPX) Nov 06, 2019 
Researchers from SMART, MIT's research enterprise in Singapore, have made a groundbreaking discovery that allows scientists to 'look' at the surface density of dispersed nanoparticles. This revolutionary technique enables researchers to 'characterise' or understand the properties of nanoparticles without disturbing the nanoparticle, and also at a far lower cost and far quicker too.
The new ... more |

 Guangzhou, China (XNA) Nov 19, 2019 
China plans to complete the construction of a space station and have it put into operation around 2022, said Zhou Jianping, the chief designer of China's manned space program, at a forum held in south China's Guangdong Province.
The space station is designed to weigh 100 tonnes and accommodate three astronauts, which could be enlarged if needed, according to Zhou.
"The main goal of t ... more |

 Greenbelt MD (SPX) Nov 21, 2019 
Could the same computer algorithms that teach autonomous cars to drive safely help identify nearby asteroids or discover life in the universe? NASA scientists are trying to figure that out by partnering with pioneers in artificial intelligence (AI) - companies such as Intel, IBM and Google - to apply advanced computer algorithms to problems in space science.
Machine learning is a type of A ... more |

 Beijing (AFP) Nov 19, 2019  China insisted Tuesday it alone held the authority to rule on constitutional matters in Hong Kong, as it condemned a decision by the city's high court to overturn a ban on face masks worn by pro-democracy protesters.
The statement could further fan the flames in Hong Kong after months of violent protests over concerns that Beijing is chipping away at the autonomy of the financial hub.

 Bethesda MD (SPX) Nov 12, 2019 
The Earth's magnetic field, or geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space. This field interacts with the stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun, known as the solar wind.
This magnetic field is sustained by electric currents generated from the motion of convection currents of molten iron in the Earth's outer core. The convectio ... more |

 Fukushima, Japan (AFP) Nov 20, 2019 
For years, Japan's government has sought to convince consumers that food from Fukushima is safe despite the nuclear disaster. But will it serve the region's produce at the Tokyo Olympics?
It's a thorny subject for the authorities. They pitched the Games in part as a chance to showcase the recovery of areas affected by the 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster.
Government officials tout stric ... more |

 Atlanta GA (SPX) Nov 20, 2019 
"They're out there," goes a saying about extraterrestrials. It would seem more likely to be true in light of a new study on planetary axis tilts. Astrophysicists at the Georgia Institute of Technology modeled a theoretical twin of Earth into other star systems called binary systems because they have two stars. They concluded that 87% of exo-Earths one might find in binary systems should have axi ... more |

 Washington DC (SPX) Nov 18, 2019  In a twist on how gene editing technology might be applied in the future, DARPA's newest biotechnology funding opportunity aims to incorporate gene editors into detectors for distributed health biosurveillance and rapid, point-of-need diagnostics for endemic, emerging, and engineered pathogenic threats. The "Detect It with Gene Editing Technologies" (DIGET) program could help the Department of D ... more |

 Harare (AFP) Nov 19, 2019 
China on Tuesday refuted a claim by Zimbabwe's government that it only received $3.6 million in aid from Beijing this year, saying the actual figure was almost 40 times higher.
