Should we move to mars? Warming Mars in a Year using nanoparticles to make mars habitable.
Ever since Mars was found to be cold and lifeless, scientists have explored ways to make it more habitable. On Aug. 7, researchers from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Central Florida unveiled a groundbreaking approach in *Science Advances*. They propose using engineered dust particles to potentially warm Mars by over 50 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for microbial life. This method is over 5,000 times more efficient than earlier attempts at warming the planet.
Joining John Michael Godier is Edwin Kite, and Robin Wordsworth on Event Horizon as they discuss this revolutionary breakthrough.
