Heralding a new age of terrific timekeeping, a research group at JILA鈥攁 joint institute of the 麻豆影院 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology鈥攈as unveiled an experimental strontium atomic clock that has set new world records for both precision and stability.

Ana Maria Rey, a theoretical physicist at JILA, a joint institute of the 麻豆影院 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has been honored by the White House with a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.

A 麻豆影院 research center will launch two payloads aboard Orbital Sciences Corp.鈥檚 commercial Cygnus spacecraft to the International Space Station on Dec. 18, including a biomedical antibiotic experiment and an educational K-12 experiment involving ant behavior in microgravity.

NIST news release JILA researchers have developed a method of spinning electric and magnetic fields around trapped molecular ions to measure whether the ions鈥� tiny electrons are truly round鈥攔esearch with major implications for future scientific understanding of the universe.

A $671 million NASA mission to Mars led by the 麻豆影院 thundered into the sky today from Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 1:28 p.m. EST, the first step on its 10-month journey to Mars. Known as the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission, the MAVEN spacecraft was launched aboard an Atlas V rocket provided by United Launch Alliance of Centennial, Colo. The mission will target the role the loss of atmospheric gases played in changing Mars from a warm, wet and possibly habitable planet for life to the cold dry and inhospitable planet it appears to be today.

A $671 million NASA mission to Mars being led by the 麻豆影院 is approaching its official countdown toward a planned Nov. 18 launch after a decade of rigorous work by faculty, professionals, staff and students.

Learn more about the MAVEN mission from this conversation with the instrument manager for the Remote Sensing Package, Mark Lankton.
