Let’s talk about this on Mars, whoops I mean Earth. You might be wondering “Why not Mars, it’s cool”. Well, when you talk on Mars, it is very different than on Earth. On Mars, it will be very cold so your teeth would be chattering. Because Mars’ thin atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide, sound does not travel well. In fact, someone speaking next to you on Mars would sound as quiet as if they were talking 60 meters away! There is a drastic difference between soundson Earth and the sound on Mars. Another reason for this difference is that sound waves move at different speeds on different planets

Recent data and coral surveys from CSIRO have recorded that a natural phenomenon is occurring in continental drop-off zones where the East Australian Current raises cold water closer to the surface causing the “localised” parts of the reef to be temporarily cooler than other parts. This is important because recent coral bleaching events have impacted over 90% of coral species, and any chance for the coral to adapt to the rising temperature could be vital for the survival of the Great Barrier Reef and its inhabitants.

Recent trials at RMIT University investigated the usage of textiles in concrete. Surprisingly, over 70% of textiles can be used in concrete. This means that even some of the most un- recyclable materials like fire-fighter gear can be used. This is significant because recycling these materials causes a reduction in landfill and pollution. By using fibrous materials and textiles, the concrete is essentially ‘bound’ together, avoiding cracking and breakages.
