Did Life Arise “Remarkably Soon” After Earth Became Habitable?
2+ day, 14+ hour ago (279+ words) The article begins this way: New genetics research—entirely based on evolutionary assumptions and interpretations of genomes—now places LUCA “astonishingly early” in earth’s history. That’s surprising in the evolutionary view, given how complex life is and how uninhabitable early…...
Blueberries reveal hidden secret in fight against gray mold
2+ day, 15+ hour ago (325+ words) Hortidaily Botrytis cinerea is a broad-host-range necrotrophic fungus that causes gray mold in more than 1,000 plant species In blueberry, it can damage flowers in the field and later emerge as fruit rot after harvest, reducing shelf life, shipment quality and…...
Take a stunning microscopic safari into the hidden world of soil
3+ day, 13+ hour ago (433+ words) We cannot live without soil. It provides us with building materials, most of our antibiotics and 95 per cent of our food. The adorable velvet worm in the main image was found under a log in a misty beech forest on…...

Finding independently evolved microbial life on Mars would be one of history’s greatest discoveries—but Robin Hanson’s Great Filter argument gives it a darker edge. If simple life arises easily, then whatever keeps the universe silent must lie later on the road from microbes to spacefaring civilisation—and it may still be ahead of us.
5+ day, 7+ hour ago (988+ words) A second origin of life could reshape the Great Filter argument. It would not establish that a catastrophe lies ahead: later evolutionary barriers and limits to our searches remain part of the question. By Life Signs · Edited by Lachlan Brown…...
