    NASA's NUGGET

    NUGGET = Neutron/Gamma Ray Geologic Tomography

    aka: a Tricorder

    Introducing NUGGET: NASA's New 'Tricorder'
    http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technovel_nugget_050804.html
    NUGGET (Neutron/Gamma Ray Geologic Tomography), an instrument containing a neutron generator, a neutron lens and a gamma-ray detector, could be used to investigate important biological indicators of life on distant worlds - just like Star Trek's tricorder


    Cool....

      Those old scifi shows are so funky.. as if the rounded B&W cathode ray tube would serve us forever.

          Or the big flashy lights... (if you have enough of them)

          The 'tricorder' looks like a cool thing though...
