NASA Study Suggests Microbial Life May Thrive Beneath Martian Ice
NASA's study explores how Martian ice could harbour life by creating meltwater pockets beneath the surface that allow photosynthesis. Dust within the ice might absorb sunlight, warming it enough to create these pockets. The findings highlight the possibility of microbial life in Mars’ tropical regions, where sunlight may penetrate deep into the i...

Could Sprinkling Diamond Dust in the Atmosphere Help Reverse Global Warming?
Researchers have explored a potential solution for reversing global warming: dispersing diamond dust in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat reaching Earth. Though diamond dust emerged as a promising option due to its reflectivity and inert nature, the cost of implementing this solution globally would be incredibly high – approximat...

Can Diamond Dust Help Cool Earth? Exploring Costs and Geoengineering Risks
A study by Sandro Vattioni explores using 5 million tons of diamond dust annually to reduce global warming by 1.6ºC. Diamonds outperform sulfur in reflecting sunlight, but the method comes with an enormous price tag—$175 trillion. Despite its potential, experts like Douglas MacMartin question its feasibility due to costs, while others debate the...

NASA's Study Suggests Life Could Thrive Beneath Ice in Mars
NASA's latest study proposes that meltwater beneath Mars' icy surface could sustain microbial life. Researchers utilised advanced computer modelling to demonstrate that sunlight can penetrate water ice enough to allow photosynthesis in shallow meltwater pools. These pools, which may form in the Martian tropics, could provide a protective environmen...
