Identical twin sisters were raised in different countries after being separated at age two. When reunited as adults, scientists studied them.
Based on our experiments, the ‘safe’ sampling depth for amino acids on Europa is almost 8 inches (around 20 centimeters) at high latitudes of the trailing hemisphere (hemisphere opposite to the direction of Europa’s motion around Jupiter) in the area where the surface hasn’t been disturbed much by…
How deep will future landers to Jupiter’s moon, Europa, and Saturn’s moon, Enceladus have to dig to find organic molecules aka the building blocks of life? This is what a recent study published in Astrobiology hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated whether near-surface organic molecules on Europa and Enceladus could survive the intense solar and cosmic radiation since neither moon has a magnetic field like the Earth to shield it. This study holds the potential to help scientists better understand the conditions for finding life beyond Earth and the methods for finding that life, as well.

Turning off inflammatory protein extends healthy lifespan in mice.
A protein that promotes inflammation could hold the key to a longer, healthier life.
Humans also have the protein, called IL-11, offering hope for a future longevity treatment.

Poe is an animated talking teddy bear toy that uses ChatGPT to generate children’s stories. I took it for an early test run and bedtime got strange.
According to a report by KPRC and the Texas General Land Office, officials are watching condensate leaking from an offshore drilling platform.

You might think you know all the continents, but what about Zealandia?
In 2017, a previously unknown contingent of the shores of New Zealand was discovered — making headlines globally.
Zealandia, known as Te Riu-a-Māui in the Māori language, covers more than 5 million square kilometres, making it twice the size of the subcontinent of India.
