Can scientists detect life without knowing what it looks like? Research using machine learning offers a new way
Can scientists detect life without knowing what it looks like? Research using machine learning offers a new way Scientists have found that carbon-rich meteorites like Bennu contain many of life’s building blocks, including amino acids and organic molecules, but no evidence of life itself. A new study called LifeTracer uses machine learning to analyze the […]

Nasal congestion is really common among ISS astronauts
Nasal congestion is really common among ISS astronauts Nasal congestion is a common issue among ISS astronauts, affecting around 85% of them during their missions. Prolonged exposure to microgravity causes fluid to shift upward toward the head, leading to swelling and pressure in the sinuses, resulting in headaches, congestion, fatigue, and disrupted sleep. The study […]
