NASA is planning to send astronauts to an asteroid in the 2020s, and preparations are already being made. Stan Love and Steve Bowen have between them spent more than 62 hours in the vacuum of space on nine shuttle mission spacewalks, and theyre putting that experience to use here on Earth by helping engineers determine what astronauts will need on NASAs next step toward Deep Space. Wearing modified versions of the orange space shuttle launch and entry suits, the two went underwater on May 9, in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at NASAs Johnson Space Center, a 40-feet-deep swimming pool that helps provide the lack of gravity needed for astronauts to practice for spacewalks. There a mockup of the Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts to the asteroid, docked to a mockup of the robotic spacecraft that will be used to capture an asteroid and bring it into a stable orbit near the moon, provided the backdrop for the simulated spacewalk.
Were working on the techniques and tools we might use someday to explore a small asteroid that was captured from an orbit around the sun and brought back by a robotic spacecraft to orbit around the moon, Love said. When its there, we can send people there to take samples and take a look at it up close. Thats our main task; were looking at tools wed use for that, how wed take those samples.
For instance, one of the primary goals of visiting an asteroid will be to obtain a core sample that shows its layers, intact such a sample could provide information on the age of the solar system and how it was formed. But the tools geologist use to collect core samples or even chips of rocks arent a good idea in space swinging a hammer in front of your face isnt safe when the sheet of glass between you and it is necessary to keep you alive. Instead Love and Bowen tried out a pneumatic hammer to give them a feel for whether a battery-powered version might be useful.
And while they did so, they also evaluated a version of the spacesuit that could be worn on an asteroid. Orion astronauts already needed a launch and entry suit to protect them during the most dynamic phases of their flights. So, rather than add to the weight Orion has to carry into orbit and take up additional space inside the crew module, engineers have been working to turn the shuttle-heritage Advanced Crew Escape Suit or ACES into something suitable for spacewalks.
Gloves, boots from the space station spacesuit and bearings to aid in the kind of moves an astronaut would need to do on a spacewalk are giving the modified ACES new life. But they probably wont be the last of the modifications, and working through some of the tasks the suit will need to accommodate on an asteroid helps the astronauts advise the engineers on what still needs improvement.
We need some significant modifications to make it easy to translate, Bowen said. I cant stretch my arms out quite as far as in the [space station space suit]. The work envelop is very small. So as we get through, we look at these tasks. These tasks are outstanding to help us develop what needs to be modified in the suit, as well.
NASA is already working to identify an asteroid that could be reached by a robotic mission to capture it and bring it into a stable orbit around the moon. Once its there, the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket will launch a crew of astronauts to explore it and gather samples. The strategy makes good use of capabilities NASA already has, while also advancing a number of technologies needed for longer-term plans: sending humans to Mars in the 2030s.

The poem, "In Praise of Air," by Sheffield's Simon Armitage is printed on a university building hoarding to emphasise its titanium dioxide coating is absorbing vehicle emissions that cause asthma and pollute our cities; Credit Air Quality News
Titanium dioxide coating on cars and aircraft have revolutionised protective nanotechnology. The University of Sheffield has set the target as absorbing the poisonous compounds from vehicle exhausts. Tony Ryan is the professor of physical chemistry in charge of adapting self-cleaning window technology to pollution solutions. The 10m x20m poster they now use on the Alfred Denny university building demonstrates how nitrogen oxides from 20 cars per day could be absorbed efficiently by roadside absorption.
The Prof has already demonstrated how jeans could have the titanium dioxide integrated in their fabric to clean up the city. The name of the miniscule nanoparticles of the commercial product is Catcio. During daylight, the photons of light inter-react with oxygen, releasing its atoms to form peroxide that will immediately wipe up the nitrogen compounds. Fairly complex, but simple for the chemicals involved! It's estimated that 80% of the pollution would be removed by clothing.
The great surface area of a hoarding can contribute similarly effective action against pollutants. London is now famed for the amount of nitrogen oxides that emerge from its burgeoning diesel traffic. This partly explains Britain's great problem with young asthma sufferers. They have the highest number of asthma patients in Europe. As Prof. Ryan states, "The science behind this is an additive which delivers a real environmental benefit that could actually help cut disease and save lives. "
The field of Soft Nanotechnology moves in devious ways with natural and artificial fabrics. Titanium of course is expensive, with this hoarding costing 100 extra to have the coating. The air-scrubbing poster is a new innovation that has to be placed alongside busy roads to do its job. Clothing worn on city streets is already (harmlessly) producing the compounds that will remove some vehicle pollutants. Next steps of course would involve removing the trucks and cars from city centres!

It sounds like a wonderful dream, but UltraTech's coating being tested on cars can repel water, dirt, and oil, cutting down on the number of trips you have to take to the car wash.
NISSAN This Nissan Versa Note would normally require a lot of scrubbing down after a muddy drive like this, but the carmaker and UltraTech are testingUltra-Ever Dry coating on vehicles to see how it repels water, dirt, and mud.
Not many people would confuse the sporty Nissan Versa Note with a commercial cement truck, but the two vehicles could have something in common one day: Special nano-coating that prevents water, dirt, fine oils, and even wet concrete from sticking to the car's surface. This new self-cleaning superhydrophobic technology may not entirely eliminate trips to the car wash, but it could mean that you'll go a year between visits.
Nissan engineers are testing UltraTech's Ultra-Ever Dry coating on a Nissan Versa Note at Nissan Technical Centre Europe under many conditions. Ultra-Ever Dry protects the Nissan from rain, spray, frost, sleet, and standing water. Ultra-Ever Dry may become an aftermarket option for the carmaker.
Ultra-Ever Dry has been a great help to the construction industry where it's being used to coat cement trucks, making them much easier to clean, says Mario Cruz, UltraTech's marketing manager.
In testing, UltraTech and Nissan are using a white car because Ultra-Ever Dry is opaque and "whitish translucent," according to Cruz. The coating doesn't have a glossy shine like the one left after hours with a can of wax and a chamois because the finish appears matte flat.
A surface treated with Ultra-Every Dry is more hydrophobic than wax or even water-resistant windshield coating, so it better repels water. The Ultra-Ever Dry coating will only last for about a year before it will have to re-applied depending upon weather conditions. Don't expect to use it on tires or upholstery, Cruz says: "It will wear off from abrasion."
UltraTech CEO Mark Shaw showed off the coating technology during a 2013 TED Talk. Nanoparticles coat the surface making a texture with patterns of geometric shapes that have "peaks" or "high points". These teeny-tiny high points repel water, some oils, wet concrete, and other liquids.
If you're thinking you'd love some Ultra-Ever Dry for your car, kitchen floor, snow shovel, kennel or garage, you're out of luck--it's only available for industrial use at this point. Cruz says that only a professional with the right equipment can apply the material to surfaces.

WORCESTER Dr. Michael R. Green's laboratory on the sixth floor of a research building at the University of Massachusetts Medical School feels a little like a maze.
The path between "benches," counters and cabinets that hold the tools of science, winds past vials, analytical machines and sinks. Tucked nearly out of sight are small desks, where some of the approximately 20 employees of Dr. Green's lab huddle over paperwork.
It's a substantial enterprise, all focused on understanding the forces that make genes work, and largely supported by the nonprofit Howard Hughes Medical Institute, in an amount that Dr. Green declines to specify.
But recently, the lab gained another funding source. The Rett Syndrome Research Trust awarded Dr. Green a $750,000 three-year grant for research that might throw light on Rett Syndrome, a disabling disorder on the autism spectrum that is caused by a gene mutation.
It's not something Dr. Green's lab has traditionally pursued, but as Dr. Green, director of the UMass program on gene function and expression, puts it, "We have a lot of ideas, and research is expensive."
It's an arrangement that bypasses the nation's largest funder of biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health, and for a specific reason. Federal budget cuts are limiting the pot of money available to scientists at UMass and elsewhere.
The NIH awarded $9.8 billion to U.S. researchers in fiscal 2013 under its R01 program, the oldest and largest category of grants for health-related research. That was down nearly 4 percent from levels of $10.2 billion a decade earlier in 2004.
Over the same decade, the number of R01 grants awarded by NIH dropped 16 percent, and the odds for applicants got longer. In 2004, about 25 percent of applications were funded. By 2013, the success rate was down to 17 percent, NIH records show.
Federal funding for biomedical research is dropping as more young scientists are entering the field. National Science Foundation data show 8,440 biomedical doctorates were awarded in 2012, up 48 percent in just one decade.
Not all Ph.D. holders go into academic medicine and basic research, but enough have done so that the field has become an "unsustainable hypercompetitive system that is discouraging even the most outstanding prospective students from entering our profession and making it difficult for seasoned investigators to produce their best work," scientists Bruce Alberts, Marc W. Kirschner, Shirley Tilghman and Harold Varmus wrote in a recent paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
