Algae-Grown Bioplastic Passes Mars Pressure Test, Boosting Hopes for Red Planet Habitats
Scientists have successfully grown algae in bioplastic chambers under Mars-like conditions, marking a step toward sustainable habitats for astronauts. The chambers, made from polylactic acid, supported photosynthesis and stabilized liquid water. This breakthrough suggests self-replicating biomaterials could reduce Earth-based resupply, advancing lo...

Astronomers Discover Water and Carbon Dioxide in WASP-166 b's Atmosphere
Astronomers have detected water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of WASP-166 b, a hot super-Neptune exoplanet. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the findings also noted ammonia in smaller quantities. WASP-166 b, located 368 light-years away, is a massive planet that orbits its star every 5.44 days, with a temperature of 1,2...

Cosmic Rays Could Help Scientists Study Tornado Formation Through Muon Detection
Cosmic rays and their byproduct, muons, may help scientists study tornado formation by detecting pressure changes remotely. This technique would avoid the need for direct measurements within dangerous storms. Researchers plan to use muon detectors over large areas or portable versions to track severe weather patterns. The findings could enhance und...

Bomb Cyclones Explained: What Are They and What Makes Them So Dangerous?
Bomb cyclones are low-pressure systems that intensify rapidly, often over oceans, bringing damaging winds, heavy rainfall and snowfall. They form when specific atmospheric conditions align, with a significant drop in pressure and the release of latent heat energy. Their occurrence is most common in cold months and poses risks to shipping. Experts a...

"Pressured" To Fudge Girl's Age To Help Asaram, Alleges School Principal
The atmosphere of terror and threats surrounding the rape case against Asaram -- the 77-year-old self-styled spiritual guru who was convicted today -- extended to a school in Uttar Pradesh the survivor attended. The girl was 16 years old when the attack took place, but there were attempts to prove that she was at least 18 years old, since the quant...
