Biodiversity Cell Atlas project is creating a map of every living thing, cell by cell
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (834+ words) Imagine trying to understand all of life on Earth by looking not just at whole organisms, but by zooming in to see every kind of cell they’re made of – like building a world atlas, but at the microscopic level. A…...
Deep-sea voyage uncovers a glowing shark and a ghostly porcelain crab
10+ mon, 4+ week ago (727+ words) In 2022, scientists involved in a deep-sea voyage on CSIRO’s research vessel RV Investigator explored the waters off Western Australia. What they found is a reminder that the ocean floor still holds countless secrets waiting to be uncovered. The team discovered…...
Scientists warn of a new biological risk and call for an international summit
8+ mon, 2+ day ago (838+ words) Thirty-eight researchers from around the world are urging caution over mirror life – a hypothetical form of biology built from mirror-image molecules that could behave unpredictably in natural systems. In response, a major biomedical research institute in Paris is convening an…...
Antarctica is home to microbes found nowhere else on Earth
1+ week, 4+ day ago (759+ words) Antarctic soils harbor microbes found nowhere else on Earth, revealing a hidden world of life uniquely adapted to the continent’s extreme conditions. A new study has found that there are microbes in Antarctica’s soil that don’t exist anywhere else on…...
Hippos in the Ice Age? DNA reveals a survival story
11+ mon, 23+ hour ago (746+ words) Europe during the Ice Age wasn’t always the frozen wasteland we imagine. Between glaciers and tundra, rivers still flowed, and the land breathed in warm intervals. In those moments, something remarkable happened – hippos lived there. A new study published in…...
Ancient microbes left wrinkles in deep seafloor rocks
7+ mon, 3+ week ago (815+ words) Far below where sunlight can reach, subtle marks in Moroccan stone suggest that life left a record in a place long assumed to be erased by time. The finding matters because it challenges where scientists think fragile traces of early…...
Life may have learned to use oxygen long before it filled Earth’s air
7+ mon, 2+ day ago (1001+ words) Oxygen feels like the most ordinary thing in the world now. We breathe it, plants make it, and most animals depend on it. But for most of Earth’s history, oxygen wasn’t a stable part of the atmosphere at all. Scientists…...
Scientists 'reanimate' a worm that was frozen in Siberian permafrost for over 46,000 years
10+ mon, 3+ week ago (755+ words) In Siberian permafrost, scientists thawed ancient soil and saw tiny nematodes move. These animals “woke up” after an extremely long freeze and resumed life functions in the lab. Their revival raises clear scientific questions and practical ones. How long were…...
Scientists recover the world's oldest RNA in a well-preserved woolly mammoth
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (755+ words) For years, the story of the woolly mammoth has felt fixed in the past. Ancient bones, frozen tissue, and fragments of DNA help scientists stitch together how these giants lived and died. A new study pushes that story even farther....
Tiny bats hunt like lions, striking with patience and precision
10+ mon, 1+ week ago (810+ words) The forests of Panama come alive after sunset. Somewhere above the ground, a tiny bat hangs upside down, silent and alert. In that quiet, the bat waits for a sound – a frog’s croak, a faint rustle, a signal of movement....
