A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science, Tokyo, has uncovered a ...

While previous studies say volcanic or atmospheric lightning may have triggered chemical reactions that created organic ...

NASA is tracking a bus-sized asteroid that will be zooming past the Earth today at a speed of nearly 28,028 miles per hour. The space rock, known as "2025 FO6," is estimated to be about 35 feet across ...

After Earth's worst mass extinction, surviving ocean animals spread worldwide. Stanford's model shows why this happened.

New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of Earth's formation and potentially calls ...

A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a ...

Findings about the chemical makeup of cave systems can teach us about life in places humans have yet to reach.

The building blocks of life on Earth may have been fueled by tiny sparks hopping between water droplets.

The Miller-Urey hypothesis is based on a famous 1952 experiment in which researchers successfully formed these organic ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 ...

New research suggests tiny electrical charges in water droplets could have fueled the chemical reactions that led to life.

A study shows that electrical charges in sprays of water can cause chemical reactions that form organic molecules from inorganic materials. The findings provide evidence that microlightning may have ...
