For high temperature and high voltage operation, or merely for its astronomical thermal conductivity, diamond is an interesting semiconductor. People have been making p-channel diamond fets for years, now a team in Japan has gained sufficient control of phosphorus doping to make n-channel diamond transistors, and diamond CMOS is on their radar.

What caught my eye was the continuance of the GRACE Mission – (GRACE-C) this time – by Airbus and JPL. During its planned five year lifetime, the GRACE-C (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment-Continuity) Mission will observe the Earth’s groundwater, oceans, ice sheets, and land shift, month-to-month. This will be done by measuring changes in the planet’s gravity field.
