Scientists used DNA sequencing to identify what microbes live on or near the root systems of farmed and wild wheat. They found that farmed and wild wheat had different microbial communities, but what does this mean for farming?
Pink, green, and square-shaped microbes can help us understand the limits of life on Earth and guide our search for life outside the planet.
Scientists who study how humans might travel through space found a handful of specific genes that give bacteria some cool superpowers.
A group of scientists discovered 14,400-year-old ancient microbes preserved in a Tibetan ice cap that could help us understand how past microbial interactions impacted their environments.
A carbonaceous meteorite that fell in Costa Rica holds organic compounds that are preserved from the earliest stages of our solar system, 4.5 billion years ago. These compounds may give us clues as to how and when life could have begun.
Are microscopic mineral-eating microbes breaking down our mountains? They may be behind bedrock erosion.
The hyperbranched polymer scaffold could have been the early primitive base for the emergence of life. @t_z_jia @CerberaOdollam @josue_nanotech
Scientists aboard the International Space Station test if bacteria can get vital metals out of rock under low gravity conditions.
Have you ever wondered what lies in the deepest depths of the ocean? Could there be scary sea monsters or other unknown life forms? Scientists from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed strange life forms from the deepest places in the world. But they were not looking for sea…
A mathematical strategy called Objective Monte-Carlo helped a team of researchers teach a computer how to play the ancient and complex game called Go.
