Photo Napalm filled tires @ flickr This story seems to be one of those you couldn't make up even if you tried. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has dropped 90 rubber ducks into the ice of the Jakobshavn Greenland glacier in an attempt to study why glaciers speed up and move faster in the summer months. The researchers hope the ducks will be show up in the waters of Baffin Bay or around there and give...

NASA and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory are working on developing an auxiliary endoscope, dubbed MARVEL (Multi-Angle and Rear Viewing Endoscopic tooL), an instrument that will function essentially as a dental mouth mirror designed for endosinus surgeries, as well as for skull base and neurosurgical procedures. NASA explains: A conventional endoscope provides mostly a frontal view — that is, a view along...

Wow! NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says it's possible to identify individual terrorists by computer analysis of HOW THEY WALK LOOKING ONLY AT THEIR SHADOWS . The idea of identifying people using "gait analysis" has been around a little while. But doing it from space looking at shadows is new, but would require higher-resolution cameras than currently exist on satellites.
