NASA's mission: Growing potatoes on Mars

NASA has teamed up with the International Potato Centre in Peru to dish out a new project: Develop a potato that could be grown on Mars.

A patch of land on the world's oldest desert, the Atacama, resembles the surface of the Red Planet. 

And that is why scientists believe it is the perfect soil to breed a potato that could grow in extreme conditions, as on Mars.

"We’ve found here the closest similarity to the soil in Mars," Julio Valdivia, a NASA scientist, told Al Jazeera.

"We’ve done experiments like those done by missions that have gone to Mars. The potato is the ideal candidate because it has conquered all the ecosystems of this planet since the Spaniards took them from here in the 16th century."

The Next Einstein Forum’s Global Gathering Opens With Call To Accelerate Science-Driven Development In Africa

Meet 15 of Africa's Most Brilliant Young Scientists

Meet these amazing 15 brilliant and young African scientists that will be impacting Africa and the World at large soon as they join over 1,000 people from more than 100 countries for the first global gathering of African scientists, the 'Next Einstein Forum' in Dakar, Senegal.

The group of 15 talents, were selected for the impact of their work and to showcase some of the incredible research that Africa's scientists and technologists are doing. Their resumes include; research on the ability to predict biological outbreaks that are bound to happen, the use of green chemistry to solve fresh water issues, the creation of bioreactors that could save a city's water supply, the causes of disease and immunity and predicting global behaviour through IT systems.

Nigerian medic designs novel ventilator

Dayo Olakulehin

The prototype of an innovative portable, battery-powered ventilator designed by a Nigerian Medic to assist unconscious patients breathe is set to be launched in Lagos.

Manufactured in Canada, the innovation has been described by the Head of the Emergency Department at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, as “a critical device that will significantly reduce infant and adult mortality rates and perhaps, the best thing to happen to resuscitation care in our environment.”

MIRACLE BABY: Mum who was told she couldn't have children gave birth two days after discovering she's Pregnant

Forget the doc says, Forget Science When the Almighty God has a purpose for your life, sure you will be left gobsmacked like Emma Bromfield, 36, and her husband Jason, 38 who was told by doctors that she could never have any more children - Then after missing her monthly flow, she did a pregnancy test and was stunned when she realized she was expecting MIRACLE baby number four.

The couple had not planned on adding to their family after already defying the odds to have Millie, 7, Molly, 6, and 15-month-old George.

Meet Australian genius who began speaking at Two Months of age and developed a ground-breaking Maths Theory at 17

A teenager from Australia has made a ground breaking mathematical discovery that academics say will change the future of mathematics..The 17 year-old developed a maths theory which could be key to solving some of the greatest unknown mysteries about the universe.

The incredible mind, Ivan Zelich, 17, who is thought to have IQ of around 180, has always been extremely advanced - stunning his parents when he began to speak at just two months of age.

Ivan and his US working partner, fellow 17-year-old Xuming Liang, together developed the 'Liang Zelich Theorum' after six months of intensive research.

Fortunately, he and Xuming – a 17-year-old from San Diego he met in an online forum - could share the workload, with Ivan working throughout the day and his American counterpart taking over while the Australian slept.

KISSING is the leading cause of head and neck cancers

 

Hmmm A top Australian doctor has warned that kissing has overtaken smoking and drinking to become the primary risk factor for developing head and neck cancers.

But how can this be?

Well Dr Mahiban Thomas, who is head of maxillofacial and head and neck surgery at the Royal Darwin hospital, warned that kissing (and just to be clear, we’re talking about full-on snogging rather than a peck on the cheek) can pass on HPV (human papilloma virus) – a family of viruses which can lead to cancer.
