	NAI: Teams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The research efforts of the Ames Team integrate a variety of disciplines around three scientific themes that address the context for life, the origin and early evolution of life, and the future of life both on Earth and in the environment of space.
		Thus, the focus of this research is on the origin and physical state of water, a study that depends on the sources of the water, the cycling of water and other volatiles between the surface and interior of a planet, and the detailed climate of the planet.
		Research by the Ames Team is also examing the effects of rapid environmental change on ecosystem properties and the potential for survival and biological evolution beyond the planet of origin.

	NASA Ames Research Center
		The involvement of Ames in SETI stemmed from John Billingham, head of the center's Biotechnology Division, who in 1970 convinced Ames Director Hans Mark that a small-scale study of the problems of interstellar communication was justified.
		Eventually, a less ambitious scheme was developed jointly by Ames and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory known as the High Resolution Microwave Survey, the targeted portion of which was the responsibility of Ames.
		Recently, researchers at Ames created cell-like bubbles in a laboratory simulation of an interstellar molecular cloud (see life, origin) and reported finding evidence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in space.

		The company, headquartered in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, achieved this feat with TempurÆ material, a special foam originating from NASA research that was later refined by Tempur-Pedic, Inc. Modellista uses the foam in their exclusive Tempur PRT insoles, which conform to each wearerís unique foot shape to absorb shock and cushion the foot.
		Scientists at NASAís Ames Research Center originally developed temper foam in the early 1970s to relieve the intense pressure of G-forces experienced by astronauts during rocket launches.
		Fromentís research, which included having his teenage daughter walk around the house with different densities of Tempur material tied to her feet, ultimately paid off with a colorful line of shoes built on a clog platform.
