Washington: NASA is planning to send a nuclear-powered submarine to explore one of the methane seas located on Saturn's moon Titan.

The single-tonne concept robot submarine is equipped with a seafloor camera and sampling system.

The submarine could fit into a space plane such as Boeing's X-37, which was recently used for a classified Air Force mission.

The plane could land on Kraken Mare, the largest known body of liquid on Titan that consists mostly of liquid methane, or possibly drop the submarine using a parachute, 'ibtimes. Com' reported.

"The vehicle would use conventional propulsors to yaw around, using a sun sensor to determine the initial azimuth to Earth and begin communication using a terrestrial radio as a more precise reference," NASA said.

London: Scientists have found that reducing the size of tiny hair like structures on stem cells stops them from turning into fat cells, a discovery that may allow for new treatments to prevent obesity.

The research, conducted at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), found that a slight regulation in the length of primary cilia, small hair-like projections found on most cells, prevented the production of fat cells from human stem cells taken from adult bone marrow.

Part of the process by which calories are turned into fat involves adipogenesis, the differentiation of stem cells into fat cells, researchers said.

The study showed that during this process of adipogenesis, the length of primary cilia increases associated with movement of specific proteins onto the cilia.
