...what you will about the simple, uninteresting lives of microorganisms, they're tough little critters. You try surviving for a million and a half years without heat, food or sunlight and see how you do. A team of National Science Foundation researchers just discovered a species of Antarctic organisms that has accomplished exactly that - and the microbes' unlikely survival can tell us a lot not just about the adaptability of life on Earth, but the prospects for it on Mars...
...history," but it also has lessons for scientists studying Mars, an entire planet that is in many ways a time capsule too. Mars, like Antarctica, was once warm and wet, but the slow loss of its atmosphere also meant the loss of much of its moisture and surface heat. Still, the place was warm and wet long enough for life to have taken hold - life that would have then had to retreat into underground water deposits and make the same kind of hurry-up adaptation Mikucki's microbes did. Similar adaptive metabolism could be in evidence on the Jovian moon...

...even have vacuum systems that suck the sap out of the trees to increase yield, along with oil-fueled furnaces and reverse osmosis filters that remove some water prior to boiling. The technology has changed dramatically, but in essence the process is virtually the same. Collect sap, reduce over heat...
...lent his star power to five young, handsome Congress candidates who are running for parliament from Punjab. All of them also come from politically well-connected families, though none with the name recognition of the Gandhis. The crowd waited under massive white awnings during the scorching midday heat to hear Gandhi at the rally, which was held during the April 14 Baisakh festival celebrating the spring harvest. He introduced each one of the candidates in turn, hailing them in his textbook Hindi as naujawan - the new young men who represent the future of the party. If they do well...
