Ancient global ocean on Mars may have come from carbon-rich chondrite meteorites from the outer solar system

Posted by in categories: asteroid/comet impacts, existential risks

A team of researchers at the University of Copenhagen’s Center for Star and Planet Formation, working with colleagues from Université de Paris, ETH Zürich and the University of Bern, has found evidence suggesting that most of the water that made up an ancient global ocean on Mars came from carbon-rich chondrite meteorites from the outer solar system. The study is published in Science Advances.

Prior research has suggested that at one time, Mars was either mostly or entirely covered by a watery , and that the water came from gases seeping from below the surface and liquifying as they cooled. In this new effort, the researchers suggest the water more likely came from another source—meteorites traveling from the outer solar system.

The researchers came to this conclusion after studying fragments flung from the surface of Mars after asteroid strikes, which made their way to Earth as meteorites. The researchers studied 31 of them, looking most specifically for chromium isotopic fingerprints. Chromium-54 does not occur naturally on Mars; thus, its presence in crust samples from Mars would indicate that the surface had been struck by material from somewhere else.

Scientists Claim to Have Discovered the “Secret Ingredient for Building Life”

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, chemistry

A team of researchers from Purdue University claim to have discovered the “chemistry behind the origin of life” on Earth in simple droplets of water, and they’re using strikingly strong language to celebrate the findings.

Graham Cooks, chemistry professor at Purdue and lead author of a new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, called it a “dramatic discovery” and the “secret ingredient for building life” in a statement.

“This is essentially the chemistry behind the origin of life,” he added. “This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water.”

Arizona town looks for solutions amid Western water crisis

Posted by in category: sustainability

Drive just North of Scottsdale, Arizona, and you’ll find a loose grid of dirt roads known as the Rio Verde Foothills. It’s home to around 2,000 families drawn to rustic desert beauty and the freedom of living outside the city limits, but the town is about to become a symbol of the West’s growing water crisis.

John Hornewer moved to the area 23 years ago. When he discovered his new community didn’t have water service, he began hauling water for himself, along with some of his neighbors.

“As my neighbor saw me coming up the road with the trailer, they were like, ‘Hey, could you stop and drop off a load for me?’” Hornewer said.

How will transportation look like in the future? In today’s video we take look into the Future of Transportation and explore some amazing technologies that will revolutionize how we travel in the future. There has been no denying that for several years in the past, the world has been undergoing massive changes, thanks to the advancement in technology. However, when it comes to transportation, the changes have not been that large. Transportations method such as cars, trains, ships, and planes have improved somewhat in functionality over time, but since their creation, they have in large part stayed the same.

In this video, we will unveil some amazing future transportation technologies that without a doubt will absolutely blow your mind!

A new approach to accurately predict cellular reprogramming cocktails

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Aging is a complex process that can lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, muscular degeneration, atherosclerosis and neurodegeneration, and it is currently one of the major scientific concerns in the field of medicine [1].

Several strategies have been developed to date for the promotion of healthy aging and an increase in the duration of life. One of the recent strategies that can decrease the deleterious impact of aging and increase the regenerative property at the cellular level is cellular reprogramming.

Cellular reprogramming can convert a somatic cell into an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC). It not only helps to restore tissue and organ function but also helps to determine cell fate. This, in turn, helps in the maintenance of cellular identity through the expression of cell type-specific genes and suppression of lineage-inappropriate genes [2].
