A pair of new studies suggest that key steps toward life’s chemistry may begin long before planets exist. Experiments ...
Amino acids, the building blocks necessary for life, were previously found in samples of 4.6-billion-year-old rocks from an ...
Penn State researchers think a key ingredient for life may have formed in deep freeze, not in a warm asteroid puddle. A space ...
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has sparked intrigue in the scientific community after NASA's SPHEREx spacecraft detected ...
Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only ...
The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows.
"We found an unexpected chemical complexity, with abundances far higher than predicted by current theoretical models." ...
