Surface-bound gels may have offered the structure and chemistry needed for life to take hold on Earth—and possibly elsewhere. How did life first take shape? A group of scientists from Japan, Malaysia, ...

An archaeon reads the same codon in two different ways, overturning a doctrine that has stood for 60 years. Living organisms ...

Researchers studying Yellowstone’s depths discovered that small earthquakes can recharge underground microbial life.

Across all 1,000-year simulations, the team observed no meaningful decline in extreme heat events. Instead, heatwaves remained above preindustrial levels for at least a millennium. In certain regions, ...

Researchers monitoring the unstable Barry Landslide in Alaska have identified a new class of short, high-frequency seismic signals that appear seasonally. Since 2020, researchers have equipped the Bar ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their failures may drive disease.

Depression doesn’t affect everyone in the same way — and now scientists say it may influence physical health differently, too. In a seven-year study of nearly 6,000 adults, researchers found that ...

Most people worldwide aren’t getting enough omega-3s, despite clear health benefits. More than three-quarters of people around the world are not consuming enough Omega-3, according to new findings ...

The authors conclude that their findings offer a potential explanation for how the Black Death began and moved through Europe, linking climatic disruption, famine, and the movement of grain during a ...

A new Cambridge study reveals how the first Bible ever printed with a map, released in 1525 with the Holy Land accidentally reversed, ended up transforming far more than biblical illustration. The ...

Researchers have uncovered a dynamic mechanism that governs how liquid escapes from foams, overturning long-standing assumptions in soft-matter physics.

Small, pale spots on the reddish-orange landscape of Mars have turned out to be a new clue that parts of the planet may once have hosted wet, oasis-like environments with humid conditions and rainfall ...
