High Resolution Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
At the heart of the instrument is a high specification quadrupole mass filter assembly, featuring a precision machined 19mm quadrupole rod set with RF-only pre- and post-filter stages, stabilizing rods and the latest high stability CS Series RF generator that in combination deliver exceptional transmission, resolution and abundance sensitivity characteristics at low masses.

Astronauts to Address Leak During Short-Notice Spacewalk
The U.S. space agency, NASA, says astronauts aboard the International Space Station will perform a previously unscheduled spacewalk Saturday to deal with an ammonia coolant leak outside the station. The short-notice spacewalk came together after teams on Earth and in space quickly readied a plan of action.

Flawed Diamonds Promise Sensory Perfection: Berkeley Lab researchers and their colleagues extend electron spin in diamond for incredibly tiny magnetic detectors
Nitrogen-vacancy centers are defects in which a nitrogen atom substitutes for a carbon atom in the lattice and a vacancy left by a missing carbon atom is immediately adjacent, leaving unbonded electrons whose states can be precisely controlled. NV centers occur naturally in diamond or can be created artificially.

Second and Third Sounding Rockets Launched from the Marshall Islands
A NASA Terrier-Improved Orion sounding rocket leaves the launch pad at Roi Namur, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as part of the Equatorial Vortex Experiment (EVEX). The rocket was launched 90 seconds after a Terrier-Oriole sounding rocket as part of a study of post-sunset solar storms.

Milky Way Black Hole Snacks on Hot Gas
This artist's concept illustrates the frenzied activity at the core of our Milky Way galaxy. The galactic center hosts a supermassive black hole in the region known as Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*, with a mass of about four million times that of our sun. The Herschel space observatory has made detailed observations of surprisingly hot gas that may be orbiting or falling toward the supermassive black hole.
