Medicine & TechnologyA group of physicists is working on a new theory, called the constructor theory, which attempts to solve wide-ranging problems including what makes biological evolution possible and many more. The only problem is how to test their theory.
Europa is one of the many moons that show signs of life, particularly subsurface oceans. NASA continues to prepare for the upcoming Europa Clipper mission in 2024.
A study released thaThe theory of evolution is primarily used to explain how things in the world began. The beginning of the life on earth has become so complex it seemed impossible to explain. Some say that it is quite impossible for life to come from something that doesn't even have life in it.t the life on Earth popularly believed to start in deep oceans actually started in shallow ponds.
The organisms in the Precambrian time of life were much more dynamic and livelier than it was expected by the scientists. A new research from the Vanderbilt University reveals the information.
Researchers are experimenting by simulating the conditions in space to understand how and where certain chemical reactions lead to the birth of first 'life'
Life needs water, and Earth is the only planet to have it. Now, Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is a known to hazard to life, yet the energy provided by our star has played an important role as the essential driver of life on Earth.
Melting of sea ice in the summers creates algae and other microorganisms which provide food for other marine creatures. Some foods get sunk to the bottom of the sea and get eaten by seabed dwellers.
Researchers claim that hydrogen pouring from the volcanoes may be used to find the possibility of life in the universe. Planets with such volcanoes are likely to support life.
Humans have always fantasized about "little green men" on Mars, and now scientists have created a new way to search for traces of alien life on the Red Planet.
From the moment they were discovered by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, the two bright spots on Ceres have fascinated scientists and amateur astronomers across the world. What are they and why are they there? Scientists believed that once Dawn reached orbit they would be able to learn more about these two mysterious spots, but even now they remain a mystery. NASA has made an unusual move by inviting the public to weigh in on what they believe is the nature of these two bright spots.
All life features a complexity and harmony of purpose that can be difficult for us as mere humans to truly grasp. However, researchers have now been able to capture this complexity in 3D of an embryo turning itself inside out.
Though it may be hard to imagine life abounding in the frigid tundra that is Earth’s Antarctica, that doesn’t mean that life cannot exist there. Recent studies looking into the develop and sustainability of life in the frozen wasteland has developed promising results in showing that life may too exist on other exoplanets or exomoons further out in space that may share a similarly cold surface. But in a new study published this week in the journal Nature Communications, researchers with the University of Tennessee Knoxville have discovered a series of underground lakes that could harbor life—pointing ever-more towards the possibility of life far off from what humans can withstand.
