The 35-kilometer lunar trek by the Soviet Union’s Lunokhod 2 still holds the record for distance by a robotic rover on a celestial body. Using his own lunar atlas and NASA images, Phil Stooke, a researcher in Canada, has found the rover and its tracks. Recent images and data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter confirmed the location.

As the U.S. population ages, manufacturers of consumer goods are realizing that many customers may not be as nimble-fingered or sharp-sighted as they once were. To help product designers and engineers address those changing requirements, researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute have been developing evaluation methods and design techniques to identify and address the needs of all consumers.

The fact that glaciers in the Himalayan mountains are thinning is not disputed. However, few researchers have attempted to rigorously examine and quantify the causes. A scientist from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory set out to isolate the impacts of the most commonly blamed culprit—greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide—from other particles in the air that may be causing the melting.

In an important first for a promising new technology, scientists have used a quantum computer to calculate the precise energy of molecular hydrogen. This groundbreaking approach to molecular simulations could have profound implications not just for quantum chemistry, but also for a range of fields from cryptography to materials science.

With the passage of a molecule through the labyrinth of a chemical system being so critical to catalysis and other important chemical processes, computer simulations are frequently used to model potential molecule/labyrinth interactions. In the past, such simulations have been expensive and time-consuming to carry out, but now researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new algorithm that should make future simulations easier and faster to compute, and yield much more accurate results.
