"Extremophile" bacteria could survive asteroid impacts that are strong enough to launch them into space, suggesting that life could travel between planetary bodies.

If confirmed in people, the finding might lead to gut-targeted therapies that could reverse cognitive decline.

New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder to detect.

Scientists simulated an asteroid impact, and Deinococcus radiodurans’ cell membranes made it through. This suggests that life-forms flung into space by violent impacts may have colonized planets and ...

Tale of a brilliant molecular biologist cast into outer space with only a helpful alien for company is a bit silly, but Gosling’s charisma keeps it watchable ...

Le duo Phil Lord-Chris Miller retrouve le cinéma en prise de vues réelles avec Projet Dernière Chance, une épopée spatiale ...

Scientists have identified why some gut microbes successfully stay in the gut after fecal transplants, while others are much more transient. The King's College London discovery could help make the ...

Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance. However, a study published in Proceedings of the ...

Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system. Better known as Deinococcus radiodurans, this microbe is arguably the ...

Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system.

Et si nous nous trompions sur nos origines ? Par le passé, la planète Mars a été bombardée par d’innombrables corps célestes. Des impacts assez violents pour lui arracher des blocs de roche et les ...

Hardy bacteria in a lab survived pressures comparable to an asteroid strike on the red planet, suggesting a hypothetical scenario in which our planet was seeded with life.
