As everyone knows, the Supreme Court has teed up West Virginia v. EPA , which challenges EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases, and Sackett v. EPA , which challenges EPA’s authority to define what constitutes a water of the United States. Betting money does not favor EPA in either case. I don’t have any inside authority on what will happen and I don’t really have thoughts that haven’t been expressed both others, so I suppose that this can just be considered a rant, but I think it’s worth

Only a few microbes inhabit Earth’s most extreme environments, but they have varied adaptations to do so, reports a new study. Hydrothermal hot springs such as at the Poás volcano in Costa Rica provide an opportunity not only to explore life on Earth, but also to understand how life might have evolved on Mars.

Stretchable electronics are engineered with soft mechanical properties to enable conformal operation on complex biological surfaces. A typical skin-mounted device comprises thin semiconductor films, which act as the functional element, embedded into soft elastomeric layers. This layout enhances the overall stretchability of the device and protects the embedded rigid functional components from mechanical failure during flexing, twisting and bending.
