The structure and composition of cometary constituents, down to their microscopic scale, are critical witnesses of the processes and ingredients that drove the formation and evolution of planetary bodies toward their present diversity. On board Rosetta’s lander Philae, the Comet Infrared and Visible Analyser (CIVA) experiment took a series of images to characterize the surface materials surrounding the lander on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Images were collected twice: just after touchdown, and after Philae finally came to rest, where it acquired a full panorama. These images reveal a fractured surface with complex structure and a variety of grain scales and albedos, possibly constituting pristine cometary material. Authors: J.-P. Bibring, Y. Langevin, J. Carter, P. Eng, B. Gondet, L. Jorda, S. Le Mouélic, S. Mottola, C. Pilorget, F. Poulet, M. Vincendon from Science: Current Issue http://www.sciencemag.org/content/349/6247/aab0671.summary?rss=1

The Philae lander provides a unique opportunity to investigate the internal structure of a comet nucleus, providing information about its formation and evolution in the early solar system. We present Comet Nucleus Sounding Experiment by Radiowave Transmission (CONSERT) measurements of the interior of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. From the propagation time and form of the signals, the upper part of the “head” of 67P is fairly homogeneous on a spatial scale of tens of meters. CONSERT also reduced the size of the uncertainty of Philae’s final landing site down to approximately 21 by 34 square meters. The average permittivity is about 1.27, suggesting that this region has a volumetric dust/ice ratio of 0.4 to 2.6 and a porosity of 75 to 85%. The dust component may be comparable to that of carbonaceous chondrites.

Knowledge of the magnetization of planetary bodies constrains their origin and evolution, as well as the conditions in the solar nebular at that time. On the basis of magnetic field measurements during the descent and subsequent multiple touchdown of the Rosetta lander Philae on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P), we show that no global magnetic field was detected within the limitations of analysis. The Rosetta Magnetometer and Plasma Monitor (ROMAP) suite of sensors measured an upper magnetic field magnitude of less than 2 nanotesla at the cometary surface at multiple locations, with the upper specific magnetic moment being <3.1 × 10−5 ampere–square meters per kilogram for meter-size homogeneous magnetized boulders. The maximum dipole moment of 67P is 1.6 × 108 ampere–square meters. We conclude that on the meter scale, magnetic alignment in the preplanetary nebula is of minor importance.

The Philae lander, part of the Rosetta mission to investigate comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, was delivered to the cometary surface in November 2014. Here we report the precise circumstances of the multiple landings of Philae, including the bouncing trajectory and rebound parameters, based on engineering data in conjunction with operational instrument data. These data also provide information on the mechanical properties (strength and layering) of the comet surface. The first touchdown site, Agilkia, appears to have a granular soft surface (with a compressive strength of 1 kilopascal) at least ~20 cm thick, possibly on top of a more rigid layer. The final landing site, Abydos, has a hard surface.

The structure of the upper layer of a comet is a product of its surface activity. The Rosetta Lander Imaging System (ROLIS) on board Philae acquired close-range images of the Agilkia site during its descent onto comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. These images reveal a photometrically uniform surface covered by regolith composed of debris and blocks ranging in size from centimeters to 5 meters. At the highest resolution of 1 centimeter per pixel, the surface appears granular, with no apparent deposits of unresolved sand-sized particles. The thickness of the regolith varies across the imaged field from 0 to 1 to 2 meters. The presence of aeolian-like features resembling wind tails hints at regolith mobilization and erosion processes. Modeling suggests that abrasion driven by airfall-induced particle “splashing” is responsible for the observed formations. Authors: S. Mottola, G. Arnold, H.-G. Grothues, R. Jaumann, H. Michaelis, G. Neukum, J.-P. Bibring, S. E. Schröder, M. Hamm, K. A. Otto, ...

The surface and subsurface of comets preserve material from the formation of the solar system. The properties of cometary material thus provide insight into the physical and chemical conditions during their formation. We present mass spectra taken by the Ptolemy instrument 20 minutes after the initial touchdown of the Philae lander on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Regular mass distributions indicate the presence of a sequence of compounds with additional -CH2- and -O- groups (mass/charge ratios 14 and 16, respectively). Similarities with the detected coma species of comet Halley suggest the presence of a radiation-induced polymer at the surface. Ptolemy measurements also indicate an apparent absence of aromatic compounds such as benzene, a lack of sulfur-bearing species, and very low concentrations of nitrogenous material. Authors: I. P. Wright, S. Sheridan, S. J. Barber, G. H. Morgan, D. J. Andrews, A. D. Morse from Science: Current Issue http://www.sciencemag.org...

Comets harbor the most pristine material in our solar system in the form of ice, dust, silicates, and refractory organic material with some interstellar heritage. The evolved gas analyzer Cometary Sampling and Composition (COSAC) experiment aboard Rosetta’s Philae lander was designed for in situ analysis of organic molecules on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Twenty-five minutes after Philae’s initial comet touchdown, the COSAC mass spectrometer took a spectrum in sniffing mode, which displayed a suite of 16 organic compounds, including many nitrogen-bearing species but no sulfur-bearing species, and four compounds—methyl isocyanate, acetone, propionaldehyde, and acetamide—that had not previously been reported in comets.

Thermal and mechanical material properties determine comet evolution and even solar system formation because comets are considered remnant volatile-rich planetesimals. Using data from the Multipurpose Sensors for Surface and Sub-Surface Science (MUPUS) instrument package gathered at the Philae landing site Abydos on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, we found the diurnal temperature to vary between 90 and 130 K. The surface emissivity was 0.97, and the local thermal inertia was 85 ± 35 J m−2 K−1s-1/2. The MUPUS thermal probe did not fully penetrate the near-surface layers, suggesting a local resistance of the ground to penetration of >4 megapascals, equivalent to >2 megapascal uniaxial compressive strength. A sintered near-surface microporous dust-ice layer with a porosity of 30 to 65% is consistent with the data. Authors: T. Spohn, J. Knollenberg, A. J. Ball, M. Banaszkiewicz, J. Benkhoff, M. Grott, J.

On 20 July 2015, the United States reopened its embassy in Havana, Cuba, after more than 50 years, creating a spirit of engagement between the two Cold War adversaries. This is a welcome addition to the 285 U.S. embassies and consulates in 190 other countries and should encourage Cuban and American scientists to practice “science diplomacy.” Sadly, however, U.S. diplomacy has rarely paid enough attention to science. Given that science and technology (S&T) capabilities affect diplomatic agendas on a global scale, the powerful S&T base of the United States must be better linked to its foreign policy goals.

Philae, the comet-landing component of the European Rosetta mission, made the most of the hours it had last November on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Today, the lander team publishes the scientific fruits of that brief life: seven papers that describe the mechanical, compositional, and textural properties of the comet surface and its interior. And they may be the lander's last. After an initial reconnection between the orbiter and lander on 13 June, there were six more communications between Philae and Rosetta, of varying durations, in the subsequent 10 days. The engineering "housekeeping" data that were retrieved were good: The lander was warm and receiving plenty of sunlight, which will increase up until 13 August, when 67P reached its closest point to the sun. Engineers lowered the altitude of Rosetta's orbits in the hopes of attaining more durable radio links. But that has not happened. Since 24 June, the team has heard just once from the lander—...

Two groups of researchers have independently fashioned tiny lasers within living cells. They may sound like weapons for Ant-Man's next nemesis, but the microscopic lasers could greatly improve biologists' ability to track the movement of individual cells. The lasers consist of spheres of plastic several micrometers in diameter that are doped with a fluorescent dye and that the cells absorb through a process called endocytosis—although one group also used injected droplets of dyed oil and naturally occurring fat globules. When the fluorescent molecules are excited, a sphere rings with light of specific wavelengths, just as an organ pipe rings with sound at a fundamental frequency and its overtones. If the intensity of the light exceeds a certain threshold, the light itself stimulates the dye to radiate far more intensely, creating a laser. Because each bead shines distinctive wavelengths, the built-in lasers can be used to identify and track individual cells. They might be put t...

Vaccines have saved millions of human lives, but according to evolutionary biologist Andrew Read they sometimes may also cause pathogens to turn deadlier. Read first put forward the theory 15 years ago. Now, in a new paper, he presents evidence that that is what happened with the virus causing Marek's disease, an infectious disease in chickens. Read acknowledges that the effect has never been seen with human vaccines, but he argues that future vaccines that prevent disease rather than infection could have the same effect. Other researchers say that no general conclusions should be drawn from the paper. Even if he turns out to be right, the study offers no support whatsoever for those who oppose vaccination, Read stresses. If "leaky" vaccines are proven safe and effective, they should be used, he says, but perhaps with closer monitoring and additional measures to reduce transmission, such as bed nets for malaria.

Last week, at the first International Symposium on Forensic Science Error Management in Arlington, Virginia, nearly 500 forensic scientists, crime lab managers, and other practitioners confronted the factors that have led to unreliable results in the field. A key problem, many said, is that people who evaluate evidence from crime scenes have access to information about a case that could bias their analysis. That subconscious bias could arise from irrelevant contextual information, such as the nature of the crime or police investigators' beliefs about a suspect's guilt, or from the physical evidence itself. As forensics struggles to recover from revelations of serious flaws in its methodology and scientific underpinnings, more labs are considering ways to shield their examiners from potential bias.

Chinese bioinformaticist Jun Wang helped make the Shenzhen-based institute BGI a global powerhouse in sequencing and genomics analysis. But he recently stepped down as head of the organization to pursue new challenges. Joining the original Beijing Genomics Institute upon its founding in 1999, Wang quickly rose from head of bioinformatics to CEO. Along the way he led BGI, which moved to Shenzhen in 2007, into some of its most ambitious projects, including an ongoing effort to sequence 10,500 bird genomes. But, "It's a good time for me to move on," he told Science in this Q&A. He wants to apply artificial intelligence techniques to the challenge of dealing with the huge data sets emerging from life science studies. His initial goal is to gather genomic and health care data for 1 million individuals to probe for hints to bettering human health.

At the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Washington, D.C., last week, researchers expressed cautious optimism that the field is gaining momentum. The primary reason: tantalizing hints from two high-profile, phase II trials of antibodies that latch onto β amyloid, a protein that forms sticky masses in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. To some, the small number of people studied and the modest results were far from persuasive. But to others at the meeting, the findings provide some of the first encouraging evidence that β amyloid is a target for treatment. One next step is to try to stimulate the body's own immune defenses with an antiamyloid vaccine—an approach that failed in the past but is now getting a second look.

A year and half ago, physicists working with the massive IceCube particle detector—a 3D array of 5160 light sensors buried kilometers deep in ice at the South Pole—spotted ghostly subatomic particles called neutrinos from beyond our galaxy. The discovery is Nobel-caliber stuff, some physicists say, as, except for a burp from a nearby supernova explosion in 1987, neutrinos from the far reaches of the cosmos had eluded capture. However, IceCube saw only about a dozen cosmic neutrinos per year, a rate at which the $279 million detector might never see enough of them to work as advertised: as a neutrino telescope with which to view the heavens in a whole new way. But as the data continue to come in, researchers are optimistic that a big enough detector should be able study the sky through neutrinos. IceCube researchers are pushing to expand the array, and other researchers have developed approaches that they say could be cheaper and more efficient. More important, a convergence of observat...

The U.S. military is on the eve of a historic integration: By order of the defense department, the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines must open previously male-only ground combat positions to women by January of 2016 or present a reason to keep certain roles closed. The deadline has prompted a slew of new research projects, including studies of physical standards, gender differences in injury rates, and service members' attitudes toward integration. It has also fueled rumors that the services will arbitrarily lower standards in order to meet political demands for equality. A look inside one such study—an exercise physiologist's effort to set new standards for Air Force combat soldiers—reveals how its researchers and participants are navigating the controversial issue.

The designers of mobile robots often take their inspiration from animals. In recent years, examples have included SmartBird, a flying robot that is modeled on a herring gull; BigDog, a rough-terrain robot that can walk, run, climb, and carry heavy loads; and the humanoid Asimo. With the exception of SmartBird, however, these robots can only move horizontally and over land. Being able to cope with different terrains remains a key challenge for robotics. Perhaps no two terrains are more different than land and water, and yet several animals can move equally well on either (1). On page 517 of this issue, Koh et al. describe a robot that is so at home on the water surface that it can leap to heights of 14 cm without piercing the surface (2).

Although great strides have been taken in recent decades, the catalytic and selective functionalization of normally unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds (1) as a route to high value-added compounds remains one of the major challenges in catalysis, and in chemistry in general. On page 513 of this issue, Légaré et al. (2) describe a metal-free process for the catalytic borylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds in heteroarenes. Their catalyst incorporates a “frustrated” pair comprising a Lewis acid and base, and this approach to the problem may have wider applications in other carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization reactions.

Within our solar system, the Earth and Mercury are in a class of their own, being the only rocky planets presently possessing global magnetic fields of internal origin. Given how different these fields are (see the figure), how these two planets got into this situation is a complicated story. With the recent discovery by Johnson et al. (1) of ancient remanent magnetism trapped in crustal rocks dating as far back as 3.9 billion years ago on Mercury, and, on page 521 of this issue, by Tarduno et al. (2) of a remanent magnetism for Earth dating back 4.2 billion years ago, the plot may thicken even more. Or could a tape rewind provide us with the clues we may have missed so far to explain the observations?

A major challenge in biomedical research is elucidating connections between stress responses within the cell and the extracellular microenvironment. This dialogue can transcend cellular life, and as such, premortem stress responses condition the mechanism through which corpses are cleared postmortem (1, 2). This implies that the reason why, and the means by which, cells die determine whether their demise ultimately triggers immune responses against dead-cell antigens (3). On page 499 of this issue, Yoon et al. (4) explore the role of p53, a major stress-elicited transcription factor and tumor suppressor protein (5, 6), in the clearance of dying cells by macrophages. The authors determine that p53 operates in a signaling pathway that protects against a systemic, life-threatening autoimmune disease encompassing ulcerative dermatitis, seizures, otitis, eye lesions, and glomerulonephritis (4, 7).

In the midst of an ongoing sixth mass extinction (1), more than 40% of all amphibians are threatened (2). Chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease (EID) caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has been more devastating than any infectious wildlife disease recorded, with >200 amphibian species collapsing to or near extinction (3). Recently, a new infectious chytrid fungal pathogen from Asia and specific to salamanders (4), Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), has been described (5). With no effective means to control spread of Bsal once it is established in wild host populations, Bsal invasion of North America could lead to rapid epizootic (wildlife epidemic) declines and extinctions in the world's richest and most diverse salamander fauna. We demonstrate the likelihood of Bsal introduction to North America via international trade, the likelihood of species being exposed to Bsal, and the potential impact of species exposure to Bsal.

Postgenomics: Perspectives on Biology After the Genome contains 12 essays from philosophers and social scientists that reflect on the diverse consequences of this "genomics revolution." Topics range from the history of network theory and its effect on the development of bioinformatics modeling to broader ethical and philosophical considerations, such as data donation and curation, and the role that genomic data should play in eliminating health disparities. Praising the volume as "an honest and timely discussion of important issues in contemporary bioscience," reviewer P. William Hughes recommends the book to biologists and philosophers interested in learning more about the new discoveries and technical improvements that have been made since the advent of genomics, as well as the attendant philosophical and sociological implications.

Guru Madhavan takes us from the French wars of the 18th century to our digital era, discussing various challenges that engineers have tackled throughout history. The focus of the book is on the mindset of the engineer as opposed to feats of engineering, exploring the individual thought process rather than the development or construction of large engineering systems such as the Panama Canal or the Burj Khalifa. Reviewer Sybil Derrible recounts some of the book's engaging vignettes, and offers readers a glimpse into the problem-solving processes employed by engineers.
