Here, in the Ramon Crater in the desert of southern Israel, a team of six - five men and one woman - have begun simulating what it will be like to live for about a month on the red planet.

The Nobel committee posted pictures of David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian after they jointly won the 2021 Nobel Prize in medicine, which showed Julius enjoying a cup of coffee with his wife while the latter watched the award ceremony in bed with his son.

The research, published in the journal Public Health in Practice, analysed plausible associations of Covid-19 mortality and excess weight in nearly 5.5 billion adults from 154 countries around the world.

The study found that the floods, which probably lasted mere weeks, eroded more than enough sediment to completely fill Lake Superior and Lake Ontario.

The team at Stanford University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in the US applied the vaccine patch directly to the skin of animals, which is full of immune cells that vaccines target.

A new study showed that today's young generation will be much severely affected by climate extremes like wildfires, droughts, floods etc than today's adults.

According to Russian Rocket and Space Corporation Energia, persistent air leaks on the ISS could be the result of welding errors made inside the Zarya and Zvezda modules three decades ago.

The footprints were found in a dry lake bed in White Sands National Park, first spotted in 2009 by a park manager.

Scientists on Thursday said artifacts unearthed in a cave in Morocco dating back as far as 120,000 years ago indicate that humans were making specialized bone tools, skinning animals and then using tools to process these skins for fur and leather.

The researchers explained that this paint can be used to cover an entire roof area of nearly 1,000 square feet that would equal to the cooling power of 10 kilowatts, which is more powerful than the air conditioners used in houses.

After collecting its first sample, named "Montdenier" on September 6, the team collected a second, "Montagnac," from the same rock on September 8, according to a release by NASA.

Researchers said the total thickness of the flexible, multi-layered artificial skin is less than a hundred micrometres - thinner than human hair.

The scientists, however, said their study shows that while space radiation imposes strict limitations and presents technological difficulties for the human mission to Mars, such a mission is still viable.

The photo captured by Hubble telescope is that of Herbig-Haro object - considered to be star groups at the very beginning of life. The first documented case of Herbig-Haro object was recorded in late 19th century by American astronomer Sherburne Wesley Burnham.
