The search for Life in the Universe generally assumes three basic life’s needs: I) building block elements (i.e., CHNOPS), II) a solvent to life’s reactions (generally, liquid water) and III) […]
They’ve survived for billions of years in boiling acid, deep-sea vents and salt flats. Now, some of Earth’s oldest life forms — microbes called Archaea — are offering a new […]
Astrobiology, while traditionally focused on understanding the origin of life on Earth and the potential for life elsewhere, offers powerful tools and insights for addressing urgent challenges on our planet.
The targeted engineering of artificial proteins with unique properties – that is possible with the assistance of a novel method developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr Dominik […]
A new study from researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) reveals that extremely simple peptides can mimic a biological process that protects […]
We present new observations that densely sample the microwave (4-360 GHz) continuum spectra from eight young systems in the Taurus region.
Proteins are life’s molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are built from 20 different types of amino acid molecules, so even a small […]
Plants are vital to human space exploration, providing oxygen, food, and psychological benefits to astronauts while contributing to water regeneration by recycling organic waste.
If humans are ever going to live beyond Earth, they’ll need to construct habitats. But transporting enough industrial material to create livable spaces would be incredibly challenging and expensive. Researchers […]
Scientists can study protein solutions without interference from container walls and gravity driven forces present on Earth using the space station’s Ring Sheared Drop module.
