New research argues that terraforming Mars should be studied as a long-term scientific program, not science fiction, as advances in space technology and biology reshape what may be possible.

Scientists from Osaka University and US collaborators have developed ‘two-faced’ Janus nanoparticles that help antibiotics penetrate superbugs. This breakthrough could restore the effectiveness of existing drugs against drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

A recent study finds that satellites from Amazon’s planned internet constellation exceed brightness limits set by astronomers, adding to growing concerns that satellite megaconstellations could interfere with observations of the universe.
