A global research team has analyzed the prospects for biomineralization on Mars, a process in which bacteria, fungi, and microalgae can create minerals as part of their metabolism, offering a byproduct that could be useful to prospective Martian explorers by providing the raw materials needed to produce aggregates such as concrete. With an extremely thin and mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, air pressure less than 1 percent of Earth's,

The new centimeter-wide disks are made from two thin perforated membranes of ceramic alumina connected by tiny vertical supports. They are kept aloft by a force called photophoresis: the light-induced movement of small particles at very low atmospheric pressures. In lab experiments simulating mesospheric air pressure and illumination, the researchers showed that their devices could float passively, without any power source. Their paper reporting the results was published in Nature on August 13.

"By acquiring Kellanova, Mars will add several very popular brands of potato chips and cereals to its already broad and strong product portfolio," said EU competition chief Teresa Ribera.

When it comes to building brands, we know that to remain iconic, we must remain in motion," said Gülens Bengi, lead chief marketing officer at Mars and chief growth officer at Mars Snacking. It speaks to the need for brands to innovate continuously.

The architects pose significant questions about interplanetary migration: 'Companies are actively developing rocket-based transportation systems, some with the goal of moving a million people to Mars. But where will they live?'

To be tagged as a space watch, a timepiece must remain accurate even without gravity and withstand NASA's rigorous testing for space missions.

Deimos, the smaller of Mars' two moons, has been overlooked in favor of Phobos, but scientists envision potential uses for this tiny celestial body.
