This is what we know as the “Rube Goldberg machine”, so named after the cartoonist best known for his drawings involving simple tasks being performed by highly impractical machines.

The addition of perchlorates and water increases the rate of amino acid destruction even further," said Alexander Pavlov of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. At those depths, it would take only 20 million years to destroy amino acids completely.

Current Mars rover missions drill down to about two inches (around five centimeters).

" Our results suggest that amino acids are destroyed by cosmic rays in the Martian surface rocks and regolith at much faster rates than previously thought. Though amino acids can be created by non-biological chemistry or by life, their discovery on Mars would be strong evidence for terrestrial life. Researchers determined that ionizing radiation from space could quickly destroy small molecules like amino acids, erasing signs of life from the surface.

Future research should assess whether flu vaccination is also associated with the rate of symptom progression in patients who already have Alzheimer's dementia," said first author Avram S. The strength of this protective effect increased with the number of years that a person received an annual flu vaccine - in other words, the rate of developing Alzheimer's was lowest among those who consistently received the flu vaccine every year. " We found that flu vaccination in older adults reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease for several years. adults aged 65 and older," with and without prior flu vaccination. Their study involved a " large nationwide sample of U.S. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) have found that people administered at least one dose of influenza vaccine are 40% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease over the next four years compared to non-vaccinated peers.
