Moss has shown it can handle the toughest conditions on Earth, but can it survive in space? Scientists wanted to find out. They sent moss spores to the International Space Station (ISS) and left them outside for nine months. The results were surprising. The moss spores were not kept safe inside the ISS like other plants. Instead, they were attached to the outside, f...

Imagine a world where computers process more data using simpler systems. That's the promise of multivalued logic (MVL) systems, which go beyond the usual binary logic. Scientists have been trying to make these systems work better using negative transconductance (NTC) devices made from thin semiconductors. But there's a problem: these devices don't work great in real-...
Lichens and mosses are great thermometers for tracking atmospheric deposits, especially the isotope 210 Pb. Scientists often use a method called gamma spectrometric analysis to measure this. But sometimes they need to boost the sensitivity by concentrating 210 Pb. One common way to do this is through a process called dry ashing. This involves burning off everyt...
