New method reveals chemical signs of early microbial life in ancient Earth rocks, showing photosynthesis evolved much earlier ...
Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...
Exceptionally preserved fossils from the Ediacaran period challenge what scientists thought was possible in sandstone. In the fossil record, creatures without hard shells or skeletons, such as ...
The team has proposed a new evidence-based scenario for the emergence of complex life they have called ‘CALM’ - Complex Archaeon, Late Mitochondrion. Complex life began to develop earlier, and over a ...
On Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover has detected chemical signatures in rocks similar to those created by microbial life on Earth. The minerals found,vivianite and greigite, appear in a structured ...
Like in humans, microbe levels can indicate health of ecosystem, say scientists from Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat The post New Israeli ...
A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...
The field of Environmental Science has recently turned its focus towards the pervasive issue of plastic pollution, ...
The research led by the University of Bristol was published in the scientific journal Nature 3 December, the research indicates that complex organisms evolved long before there were substantial levels ...
