Nearing the limits of life on Earth

Scientists are looking for life in an area of Antarctica that is thought to be the place on Earth that most closely resembles the permafrost found in the northern polar region of Mars, at the Phoenix landing site. The scientists failed to find any active microbes, suggesting it will be unlikely and difficult to detect similar activity on Mars.

Graphene oxide 'paper' changes with strain
more »
The same slip-and-stick mechanism that leads to earthquakes is at work on the molecular level, where it determines the shear plasticity of nanoscale materials, report scientists. Plasticity is the ability of a material to permanently deform when strained. The researchers, thinking about future things like flexible electronics, decided to see how graphene oxide "paper" would handle shear strain, in which the sheets are pulled by the ends.
