Space Probe Finds Lightning on Venus
Nearby Venus is looking a bit more Earth-like with frequent bursts of lightning confirmed by a new European space probe. For nearly three decades, astronomers have said Venus probably had lightning — ever since a 1978 NASA probe showed signs of electrical activity in its atmosphere. But experts weren’t sure because of signal interference. Now a magnetic antenna on the European Space Agency’s Venus Express probe proved that the lightning was real. “We consider this to be the first definitive evidence of abundant lighting on Venus,” David Grinspoon of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science told reporters Wednesday at a briefing in Paris. The finding is significant because lightning affects atmospheric chemistry, so scientists will have to take it into account as they try to understand the atmosphere and climate of Venus, he said. The lightning is cloud-to-cloud and about 35 miles (55 kilometers) above the surface, said University of California, Los Angeles geophysics professor C.T. Russell, lead author of a paper on the Venusian fireworks. It is being published in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. Bursts of electrical energy from lightning are something that scientists have long theorized could provide the spark of life in primordial ooze. But not on Venus. “If life was ever something serious to talk about on Venus, it would be early in its history, not in its current state,” said Sean Solomon of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, who was not part of the research team. “It’s a very unforgiving atmosphere.” The idea of Earth-like lightning is fascinating, Russell said. However, you could not see it from Venus’ surface, nor would you want to look because the Venusian atmosphere is 100 times more dense than Earth’s, is hotter by about 900 degrees Fahrenheit (480 degrees Celsius) and has clouds of sulfuric acid, he said. “It may be Earth’s ‘evil twin,’ but…

MTV Calls New Rock Band Game a Hit
Partridge family, eat your heart out. MTV said this week that Rock Band, its new video game that allows even the most musically challenged family to rock out, is a hit. On Wednesday, Reuters reported that MTV’s Mike Salmi said the game has been “flying off the shelves” in the first week of sales. Meanwhile, MTV Networks chief executive Judy McGrath said that the company plans to develop Rock Band as a platform for music-based services and games. ‘Tour for Fame and Fortune’ Released a week ago, Rock Band was produced by music-games developer Harmonix with MTV Games, and is being distributed by Electronic Arts. Designed for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3, it is described by its creators as “an all-new platform” that allows players to assemble a band, play master lead/bass guitar, drums, and vocals, and then “tour for fame and fortune.” A PlayStation 2 version is being released next month. The game includes 58 recordings of classic songs, which the creators said is the most of any music game. Players can choose from alternative rock, classic rock, heavy metal, punk, and other genres, as well from several instruments, offline or online game modes, and individual or band playing. Players also can download song packs and other new content. The Special Edition Bundle offers a Fender Stratocaster guitar controller, an electronic drum kit, drum sticks, a microphone, and a USB hub for plugging in the instruments. Rock Band joins Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock in establishing rhythm-based games as one of the hottest new game categories. Peter Hartlaub, writing in the San Francisco Chronicle this week, called Rock Band “the most talked-about video game this holiday season,” and said that, for entertainment value, “it doesn’t get much better” than Rock Band or Guitar Hero III.

Robots Dazzle at Japanese Exhibit
A robot math whiz breezes through a Rubik’s Cube, using metal hands to twist and turn the colorful toy. A panda robot uses sensors to detect when people are laughing, and joins in. A dentistry student peers into the mouth of a new patient — a humanoid practice robot with a complete set of pearly white teeth. Japan showed off its cutting-edge robots Wednesday at the country’s largest robotics convention, a dazzling display of the technologies that make it a world leader in both service and industrial robotics. The dental training robot, dubbed Simroid for “simulator humanoid,” has realistic skin, eyes, and a mouth fitted with replica teeth that students practice drilling on. A sensor fitted where the nerve endings would be raises the alert when they drill too close — triggering a yelp from the robot. “Ow, that hurt!” a female robot squeaked, narrowing her eyes as a young dentist drilled on her replica teeth. “Now, I’m OK,” she said as the dentist eased off. “Our aim is to train dentists to worry about whether patients are comfortable, and not just focus on technical expertise,” said Dr. Naotake Shibui of the Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, who collaborated with technicians at Kokoro Co. to develop the robot. Researchers are still ironing out a few kinks — including perfecting a function that lets novices inject anesthetic into robot gums — before working on commercialization plans, Shibui said. He said a prototype has been used at the university since September. Across the hall, Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ Mr. Cube robot used built-in color sensors and a pair of dexterous hands to solve a Rubik’s Cube, then raised the completed puzzle in glee to show off to spectators. Mr. Cube is no match for his human counterparts, taking up to five minutes to solve a typical puzzle while the human…
