Now, a team of scientists from the US and China has calculated that a new class of dual-action antibiotics could make it 100 million times more difficult for bacteria to evolve resistance.
Nuclear fusion promises a virtually limitless, sustainable energy source via processes similar to those powering the Sun, provided some rather tricky and fundamental physics problems can be figured out first.
When considering human settlements on the Moon, Mars and further afield, much attention is given to the travel times, food and radiation risk.
Researchers has recently found that nearby storms would strengthen the Great Red Spot, increasing its size. The current shrinking spot may be due to a lack of smaller storms in its diet.
Nasa has announced the first detection of possible biosignatures in a rock on the surface of Mars.
New research has revealed that the surface of Uranus’ moon Ariel is coated with a significant amount of carbon dioxide ice, particularly on its trailing hemisphere, which always faces away from the moon’s direction of orbital motion.
