Lynn Margulis had the audacity to challenge Darwin. And we’re lucky she did. Throughout her prolific and distinguished career, biologist Lynn Margulis made several groundbreaking contributions to science that we take for granted as common knowledge today. For example, she…
The Quantum-Enabled Predictive Preclinical NAMs for Toxicity and Safety (QuSAFE) Challenge, a collaboration between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NASA, advances quantum-enabled sensing for in vitro NAMs, such as organoids and microphysiological systems (MPS), to improve drug safety…

But Enceladus’s subsurface ocean is far more alkaline than Earth’s ocean, with a pH closer to that of baking soda or ammonia-based cleaners than to terrestrial seawater. Too, Enceladus’s ocean is low on dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2), an essential foodstuff for…
Published in Scientific Reports, the computational modelling study demonstrates that the extreme velocities and entry angles of cometary impacts would almost certainly vaporise fragile prebiotic molecules upon atmospheric entry or surface impact, making cometary delivery a “one-off fluke” rather than…
In 2022, NASA’s BioSentinel flew yeast past the Moon. The cells never grew, likely expired before launch, but its radiation detector still collected data. Imagine sending a tiny lab to deep space, only to learn the experiment never woke up Thatâ…
In 2022, a black mold and three mutant strains flew around the Moon on Artemis I. All 20 samples grew, and the team rated the experiment excellent, per NASA. Some tiny passengers became astronauts They rode around the Moon on Artemis I, and…
The appearance of life on Earth is still a mystery. It's constrained by a few factors; for instance, the Earth had to have cooled before life could get started, and there had to be some liquid water, the right chemicals,…
