Space can pull the human brain away from Earth’s reality: without the anchor of gravity, astronauts enter an extreme state of consciousness, see the planet floating in the void, and experience sensations compared to psychedelics.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

4 astronauts carried “organs-on-a-chip” made with their own cells beyond low Earth orbit, as NASA tries to discover how deep-space radiation and microgravity can attack the heart, lungs, liver, and brain before a mission to Mars.

Astronauts can grow in space, but the effect is concerning: the spine stretches, back pain appears early, and NASA fears injuries to the discs precisely at the most critical moment of returning to gravity.

Astronauts who lived in space experienced accelerated bone loss, bones can “melt” in microgravity, and scientists warn that the problem may be closer than previously thought and could jeopardize missions to Mars.

Astronauts who returned from space developed kidney stones, remodeled renal tubules, and show risks that could hinder human travel to Mars.

A mini laboratory will go outside the ISS for 15 weeks to measure, in real time, the effects of microgravity and radiation on a model organism, generating data that can guide biological protection and health in long space travel.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

A city has planted 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants since 2016, reduced the temperature by up to 3°C in some areas, and won an international award for using vegetation to combat urban heat in Colombia.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.
