Microbe found in Ethiopian volcano’s strongly acidic saltwater hints microorganisms could have survived in similar conditions on Early Mars
Barbara Cavalazzi, lead author of the study from the University of BolognaIt may be difficult to imagine, but life can actually survive — and sometimes, thrive — even in the harshest of conditions, just like in the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia, where researchers from Spain, Italy and the U.K. recently found startling evidence of life. The details of the the […]

Weird wonders of the deep: The coffinfish can hold its breath for up to 4 minutes at a time
It’s not every day you get to see a fish holding its breath, let alone for up to relatively long stretches of time. But this is exactly the sight that greeted researchers Nicholas Long and Stacy Farina while observing footage captured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) remotely operated vehicles (ROV). According to the […]

Archaeologists unearth 2 trophy SKULLS in Belize jungles: Macabre artifacts will be used to study the collapse of the Maya civilization
The Maya civilization was one of the most powerful and scientifically advanced empires of the ancient world. However, by the end of the ninth century, the busy streets of its great stone cities were abandoned, signaling its collapse — an event that, since the 19th century, has intrigued and confused scholars. A recent discovery in […]

Proof that a dead star can be revived: These 2 white dwarf stars collided, were reanimated and will go supernova after thousands of years
Astronomers from Germany and Russia discovered a rare celestial event: They found a star that came back from the dead. The star was located in Cassiopeia, a constellation some 10,000 light-years from Earth. Even though it did not emit any visible light, it sent out strong infrared waves and solar winds. This piqued the researchers’ […]

Researchers explore novel method for generating breathable air on Mars
Scientists may have found a method for generating oxygen that could be used for future explorations on Mars. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena discovered a way to generate molecular oxygen – two oxygen atoms needed to form breathable air – in outer space. The idea came from observing how comets produced oxygen in extreme environments. […]

Traces of ammonia in reddish ice on Pluto suggest volcanoes spew liquid WATER instead of lava
As the farthest planet in the solar system, Pluto has always been filled with mysteries. A recent study revealed that the icy planet may contain ammonia and water, the presence of which indicates the potential existence of life. Researchers from various institutions in the US found traces of ammonia in the reddish ice caps of […]

Inspired by photosynthesis in plants, researchers create liquid fuel with just water and carbon dioxide
Chemists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign managed to successfully create liquid fuel from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water using gold nanoparticles. The process was inspired by photosynthesis, the energy production method of plants. The study was a collaboration between Sungju Yu, a postdoctoral researcher and Prashaint Jain, a chemistry professor. They published their findings in Nature Communications, contributing […]

Researchers find evidence of microplastics in Colorado RAIN SAMPLES: Where is it coming from?
Microplastics are everywhere these days. They are even falling from the sky, a recent study finds. Researchers from various institutions in the US, including the US Geological Survey (USGS), found microplastics in rain samples collected from the Denver-Boulder urban corridor and other sites along Colorado’s Front Range. Their findings, which were published on the USGS […]

What did China’s moon lander see on the far side of the moon?
The Chinese lunar mission on the far side of the moon may have found answers to long-standing questions on the satellite’s mantle. The mission was led by Chunlai Li, a researcher from the National Astronomical Observatories at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The lander-rover duo, Chang’e 4 lander and Yutu 2, successfully landed on the far side of the moon […]

Conservationists study rare species to understand how biodiversity protects ecosystems – and humans
Conservationists aim to preserve – and potentially save – different species and ecosystems around the world. This is especially vital for rare species, but scientists have found that research on how rare species impact ecosystems are sorely lacking. A recent study from the U.S. and Australia highlighted the need to identify how these rare species contribute to […]
