Terraforming Mars starts to look possible

Silica aerogel could warm the Martian surface similar to the way greenhouse gasses keep Earth warm People have long dreamed of re-shaping the Martian climate to make it livable for humans. Carl Sagan was the first outside of the realm of science fiction to propose terraforming. In a 1971 paper, Sagan suggested that vaporizing the

How to free up around a fifth of agricultural land globally

Making minor changes to how food is produced, supplied and consumed around the world could free up around a fifth of agricultural land, research suggests. Scientists have applied the British cycling team’s strategy of marginal gains – the idea that making multiple small changes can lead to significant effects overall – to the global food system.

Do cells have their own version of a circuit board?

Cells in the body are wired like computer chips to direct signals that instruct how they function, research suggests. Unlike a fixed circuit board, however, cells can rapidly rewire their communication networks to change their behaviour. Cell-wide web The discovery of this cell-wide web turns our understanding of how instructions spread around a cell on

A new approach using 2 old drugs show promise for specific types of stroke and dementia

Treatments that prevent recurrence of types of stroke and dementia caused by damage to small blood vessels in the brain have moved a step closer, following a small study. The drugs – called cilostazol and isosorbide mononitrate – are already used to treat other conditions, such as heart disease and angina. This is the first

Researchers have developed an inexpensive biosensor that attaches to a phone and uses bacteria to detect unsafe arsenic levels

A smartphone device could help millions of people avoid drinking water contaminated by arsenic. Researchers have developed a biosensor that attaches to a phone and uses bacteria to detect unsafe arsenic levels. The device, developed at the University of Edinburgh, generates easy-to-interpret patterns, similar to volume-bars, which display the level of contamination. Researchers believe there

A wave energy technology is being developed that could help generate low-cost electricity for thousands of houses.

Device could deliver wave energy to thousands The device costs less than conventional designs, has fewer moving parts, and is made of durable materials. It is designed to be incorporated into existing ocean energy systems and can convert wave power into electricity. Small scale experiments in an ocean simulator show that one full-size device could

Researchers have devised a way to estimate whether an individual can expect to live longer or shorter than average

By studying the effect of genetic variations on lifespan across the human genome, researchers have devised a way to estimate whether an individual can expect to live longer or shorter than average, and have advanced scientific understanding of the diseases and cellular pathways involved in aging. Their findings were presented at the American Society of
