I figured it was time for a new thread, since we finally seem to be getting some science results out of Phoenix. The press release should be out shortly.

First numerical result I've heard was given by Peter Smith at today's press briefing at AGU: TEGA found that the soil is composed of 5% calcium carbonate, which is a significant result.

Hopefully more will hit the Web soon -- post here when the links go up!

Thanks for the link!

The article reminded me of the atomic force microscope as well. Have there been any summaries published yet concerning the AFM's findings & performance? What little I've seen to date has been fascinating, but haven't seen any definitive science results from it yet. (Been assuming that the AFM was primarily intended as a tech demo, anyhow.)

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
