Entertainment virtual reality system for simulation of spaceflights over the surface of the planet Mars
2006
In recent years Virtual Reality technologies have enabled astronomers to recreate and explore three dimensional structures of the Universe for scientific purposes. Mars, due to its scientific interest,has been the focal point of numerous research projects using these technologies, however, none of these virtual reality tools have been developed specifically for entertainment purposes.The focus of this paper is to present MarsVR, as an entertainment research project that educates people on the topography and orography of the planet Mars from the perspective of popular science. Some projects have been designed MarsVR for entertainment purposes and include the latest advances in 3D real time a…
Mössbauer Spectroscopy: Elegance and versatility in chemical diagnostics
2010
Dedicated to Professor Rudolf Ludwig Mossbauer on the occasion of his 80th birthday . Soon after the discovery of the recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence by Rudolf L. Mossbauer some fifty years ago a new spectroscopic technique developed quickly on the basis of this resonance phenomenon as an excellent tool for the investigation of materials through electric and magnetic hyperfine interactions between electrons and suitable Mo uml ssbauer nu-clides. Many disciplines of solid state research have benefited from applications of the new tool for non-destructive phase analysis. Chemists in particular have recognized the information that can be derived from Mo uml ssbauer spectra regarding …
Surface Analysis in Archaeology Using the Miniaturized Mössbauer Spectrometer MIMOS II
2003
A miniaturized Mossbauer spectrometer (MIMOS II) which was designed and constructed for extraterrestrial applications, such as iron-containing rock and soil analysis on the planet Mars, has been employed to investigate the iron-containing constituents in the paintings of a Lekythos Greek vase. Greek pottery is commonly painted with black figures. The Mossbauer backscattering spectra recorded with MIMOS II at room temperature show that the hand-painted black figures contain hematite.
