In May of last year, NASA's Insight Mars lander detected an enormous seismic tremor reverberating just below the planet's surface. At a magnitude 4.7, it's the most powerful ever detected on the Red Planet — and indeed anywhere off world.
Initially, the most likely explanation scientists put forward was that the reverberations could have been caused by a meteoroid impact., found that after months of scouring the planet's surface, no evidence of a fresh impact has been discovered — meaning the tremendous tremor came from deep within the planet.It would be a hard impact to miss. Anything large enough to send out a record-shattering marsquake after smashing into the surface would blow open a crater hundreds of feet in diameter.
Most of the data gathered about Mars' seismic activity so far indicates that it's originating from a huge pair of trenches known as the Cerberus Fossae, which are believed to be the open wounds of an underlying fault where magma interactions could still persist.

Scientists develop deep learning-based biosensing platform to better count viral particlesRecent studies have found that Gires-Tournois (GT) biosensors, a type of nanophotonic resonator, can detect minuscule virus particles and produce colorful micrographs (images taken through a microscope) of viral loads. But they suffer from visual artifacts and non-reproducibility, limiting their utilization.
