A pair of new studies suggest that key steps toward life’s chemistry may begin long before planets exist. Experiments ...
Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients for life may exist long before planets are formed.
"We used to think that only very simple molecules could be created in these clouds. But we have shown that this is clearly ...
Cold cosmic dust grains can link amino acids into protein‑like chains in deep space, suggesting life’s chemistry may begin ...
The researchers discovered the candidate world while examining data gathered by the NASA Kepler space telescope in 2017. It ...
Scientists find that deep molten rock can power long-lasting magnetic fields, helping large rocky planets hold onto their ...
Earth may already be broadcasting its presence to alien civilizations without realizing it. A new study shows that our deep-space transmissions, especially those aimed at Mars and interplanetary ...
