Ten times smaller than any living creature, with a bizarre appetite for plastic and relatives that may have come from Mars ... Nanobes are very strange creatures indeed. Discovered kilometres beneath the Western Australian seabed by young Queensland scientist Dr Philippa Uwins, Nanobes provide startling evidence of a radical, previously unseen world of life. As Philippa struggles to convince the international scientific community that her strange, tiny creatures are alive and growing in her lab, we reveal an extraordinary 'nano-scopic' realm that may hold the key to cancer, provide evidence of life on Mars and offer vital clues to the mystery of life itself.
