Mars: The Harsh Reality Mars may look like a rugged sibling to Earth, but the environment is brutally unwelcoming. Its atmosphere is paper thin about 1% the density of Earth’s. This means almost no protection from cosmic radiation and solar storms. Temperatures swing wildly, often dropping well below 80°F. Step outside without protection, and it’s

What CRISPR Actually Is CRISPR Cas9 is a gene editing tool that works like molecular scissors. Using it, scientists can cut DNA at specific spots and either remove, replace, or tweak genetic material with precision. It’s efficient, relatively cheap, and way easier to use than older methods. That’s why labs all over the world have
