The mirrors for NASA's Near-Earth Object Surveyor space telescope are being installed and aligned, and work on other spacecraft components is accelerating.

Cadmium is a metal in group IIB of the periodic table with atomic number 48, an atomic weight of 112.40, and a density of 8.65 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 320.9 C, and it boils at 7654 C. The ...

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust ...

At the heart of the spectrometer is an arrangement of mercury cadmium telluride photodiodes cooled to minus 203 degrees Celsius ... light on the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (studying Saturn and its ...
