Terraforming Mars may be more realistic than scientists once thought

Terraforming is the process of reshaping a planet or moon so it can support humans and other Earth-like life. In theory, that means changing an alien world’s atmosphere, climate, and surface to more closely resemble Earth’s by adding oxygen, creating stable bodies of liquid water, and producing temperatures suitable for…

Tiny plastics in drinking water may be making dangerous bacteria stronger

Nanoplastics are already a concern because people may ingest them directly, but new research points to another possible danger. These tiny plastic particles may also make harmful bacteria more difficult to control. In a study published in Water Research, Virginia Tech researcher Jingqiu Liao and an international team found that…

Your fingers may hold a secret of human brain evolution

Human evolution is closely associated with the development of a much larger brain. New research suggests that greater exposure to estrogen before birth may have contributed to that expansion, and that a possible trace of this hormonal influence can be seen in the relative lengths of a person’s fingers.
