Considering the Mars water discussion: Analysis challenges previous findings
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Over three billion years ago, Mars had intermittently held liquid water on its surface. However, after the planet lost much of its atmosphere, surface waters could no longer last. The fate of Mars’ waters is buried like ice, trapped in deep aquifers, incorporated into minerals and dissipated into space. Last week, in a letter to the…

Nanomachines with wine ingredients overcome the challenges of gene therapy
Nanocomposites are constructed by continuous mixing of AAV9, TA, and polymers in aqueous solutions. The nanocomplexes released loaded AAVs into the cells, indicating efficient genetic transduction into the cells. Upon intravenous injection, the AAV ternary complex successfully avoided NABS. Credit: Uto Honda Researchers will be the first in the world to use mice to overcome the key challenges of gene…

What is a unit of nature? New framework highlights challenges for biodiversity credit market
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Ecologists have devised a new framework for classifying how biodiversity credit operators define units of nature. New analysis shows the challenges involved in devising a biodiversity credit market to finance nature restoration, and the risks of over-reliance on ‘offsets’. Nature conservation faces an estimated $700 billion annual funding gap to halt and begin reversing global biodiversity…
