Within the Solar System, surfaces of the atmosphere less bodies
are strongly influenced by factors often associated with the
expression "space weathering" (*). Recent scientific evidence has
shown that the aging process surface due to space weather has a
very strong momentum (of the order of one million years) relative
to the age of the solar system (about 4.5 billion years).

"Science and journalism - friend or foe?" gathered at the
British Council's genuine friends of knowledge. They represent many
fields including media, IT, architecture, education, psychology,
theology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, linguistics
and climate. The story of the event continues now with the second
part, and this precedes the one dedicated to few of the email
questions and aspects addressed by friends of the Science
Newspaper.

Disarming the flu virus has become a key strategy in the battle
against the flu. Scientists in Grenoble in France have made a
breakthrough in research into how the virus attacks the human
body. Powerful X-ray imaging has enabled them to learn more
about its main weapon - a so called "knife" used by the
virus to access and hijack human proteins which it needs to
reproduce. Deprive the virus of its knife and the battle is won so
the theory goes.

Scientists in the US used brain imaging techniques to localize
the areas in the human brain that are activated when thinking about
God and religion. The results suggest that specific
components of religious beliefs are mediated by known brain
networks. What techniques helped researchers to reach to this
conclusion and if we are close to an instrument for measuring
religious belief are just few of the questions discussed with
Dimitrios Kapogiannis, first author of research that was published
in PNAS.

Scientists in the UK have developed a new type of light
bulb that could last up to 60 years. Researchers are developing an
alternative to replace existing light bulbs which might last a
lifetime, giving energy efficiency a bright
future.
