A new spy satellite was launched January 18th at 9:47PM EST from Cape Canaveral Air Force Space in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The new National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) payload on the Delta 4-Heavy is a 5-to-6 ton eavesdropping spacecraft with a high tech deployable antenna as wide as 350 feet will greatly enhance the capability for the U.S. to listen in on communications from hostile regions such as Iran and Iraq. The U.S. government hopes that the new satellite will provide them greater intel on Al Qaeda operations in Iran and Afghanistan.

PhysOrg.com: In pursuing cleaner energy there is such a thing as being too green. Unicellular microalgae, for instance, can be considered too green. In a paper in a special energy issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley describe a method for using microalgae for making biofuel. The researchers explain a way to genetically modify the tiny organisms, so as to minimize the number of chlorophyll molecules needed to harvest light without compromising the photosynthesis process in the cells. With this modification, instead of making more sugar molecules, the microalgae could be producing hydrogen or hydrocarbons.
