Science breakthrough: Mysterious particle could be ‘fifth force of nature’ experts claim
“In his laboratory, this passionate researcher has created an amazing machine – a Martian chamber – temperature, atmospheric pressure, chemical composition, UV rays, each parameter can be regulated with precision.
“The aim, to test the resistance of terrestrial organisms to Martian conditions.”
In 2012, Dr De Vera showed that cyanobacteria present on Earth for 3.5 billion years could survive several weeks in the “Martian chamber” without a problem.
He repeated his experiment for nine days with microorganisms recovered from Earth’s harshest continent – Antarctica.
They did not just survive, they thrived.
