The recent geological demonstrations made by Dr. Robert L. Folk and Dr. Kitty L. Milliken of the University of Texas in Uastin suggest that iron oxide filaments from geological periods on Earth are lifelike in form at microscopic levels, which could have some implications for search for forms of life in Mars and other planets.

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have created a bacteria that will produce a more proficient and cleaner burning coal, this news release stated.

In this press article released by the New York University (NYU) Medical Center, it is believed that the esophagus, the passage from which food moves down between the throat and the stomach, may actually be a reservoir for bacterial growth and is no longer deemed sterile.

Germinating […]
