Beat the clocks going back with a sunrise alarm that can 'revolutionise winter mornings'

The clocks are set to change this weekend, Sunday October 27 at 2am. While we do gain an extra hour of sleep, the clocks going back also means darker mornings and shorter days, which can have an unpleasant impact on our morale and productivity.

World's biggest airline stumps up £24 billion for 20 Concorde-like supersonic jets
Concorde plane – which was retired in 2003 – could be taking passengers across the world by the end of this decade.Made by Boom Supersonic, the Overture craft has been bought by America Airlines.But the world's biggest airline hasn't just bought one, it has spent a whopping £24 billion on purchasing 20 of the aircraft.READ NEXT: Tesla car repeatedly runs over 'toddler' doll as people question AI's safetyAnd it has the option of buying another 40 more any time it wants.Each one of the machines will be able to take around 65 to 80 passengers around the world in lightening fast times.For example, it can fly to Miami from London Heathrow in just under five hours – it currently takes nine long hours in today's planes.Impressively, the beastly machines have already had more than 26 million hours of designing and testing put into them, and it will fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuel – which is great for the environment.It will have four engines, and does look a lot like Concorde in shape and aesthetic.A spokesman for Boom Supersonic, which also sold 15 aircraft to American Airlines' rival United Airlines last year, said: “Overture is the first airliner in a new era of sustainable, supersonic flight. “Flying at twice the speed of today’s passenger airlines, Overture opens the door to a dramatically more accessible world, where we can experience first-hand more people, places, and cultures.“The new Overture design is the culmination of 26 million core-hours of simulated software designs, five wind tunnel tests, and the careful evaluation of 51 full design iterations.“It will fly Mach 1.7 over water with a range of 4,250 nautical miles.

Mars rovers 'could be less than 7ft away from finding proof of aliens', say NASA
NASA boffins say that Mars rovers could unearth evidence of alien life if they dig seven feet down into the Red Planet.The hunt for extra-terrestrials involves discovering certain amino acids on Mars, which in turn are a component to build proteins.However, new research by the US space agency published in the journal Astrobiology suggests cosmic rays are destroying this evidence on Mars faster than we realised.READ MORE: NASA baffled after 'mystery spacecraft' smashes into the Moon leaving odd craterAlexander Pavlov, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said: "Current Mars rover missions drill down to about two inches."At those depths, it would take only 20million years to destroy amino acids completely."The addition of perchlorates and water increases the rate of amino acid destruction even further." Although it sounds like a long time, 20m years is just a blip when hunting for proof of ancient life from billions of years ago, when Mars was much more like Earth.NASA now reckons that the rovers will need to dig around 6.6ft deep to make a breakthrough and find amino acids that haven't been degraded by ionising radiation from space.Pavlov, who was the lead author of the study, continued: "Missions with shallow drill sampling have to seek recently exposed outcrops — e.g., recent microcraters with ages less than 10m years or the material ejected from such craters."There is evidence to suggest that, billions of years ago, Mars had a thick atmosphere and global magnetic field shields like Earth.This atmosphere would have allowed for liquid on the Red Planet. It also would have blocked cosmic rays from reaching the surface.
