Analysis of debris from the nearly 5 billion-year-old asteroid Bennu suggests the ingredients to life on Earth were present ...

Scientists at Yale and in Singapore have devised what may be the ultimate acid test—a comprehensive model for estimating the ...

Deep subsurface microbes are highly diverse, challenging assumptions about life in low-energy environments. This discovery ...

Scientists believe the exoplanet HD 20794 d, six times the mass of Earth, could harbour liquid water on its surface.

Their research reveals which Earthly 'technosignatures' would be easiest to detect from a planet across the galaxy.

Earth received water toward the final stages of its formation. This reshapes understanding of the conditions needed for life.

The finding, reported in the science journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, is significant because the data reported by the ...

A recent study investigates how polyester microdroplets, potential precursors to modern cells, could form under realistic early Earth conditions. Researchers pushed these conditions to the limits, ...

Analysis of debris from the nearly 5 billion-year-old asteroid Bennu suggests the ingredients to life on Earth were present in the early days of our solar system, as detailed in a series of papers ...
