Billions of years ago, Earth’s atmosphere was hostile, with barely any oxygen and toxic conditions for life. Researchers from the Earth-Life Science Institute studied Japan’s iron-rich hot springs, ...

Longer-lasting phones, lighter drones, electric cars that drive farther. These are just some of the possibilities thanks to a ...

Earth’s earliest microbial life forms are revealed in Japan’s hot springs, where scientists uncover how life adapted during ...

Interestingly, the researchers discovered a partial sulfur cycle, too — but the hot springs had very few sulfuric compounds to support such activity. Thus it's possible that the microbes carry out a ...

Before forests, animals, or even breathable air, Earth was a completely different place. Over two billion years ago, the planet’s atmosphere held almost no oxygen. What we now call life had to survive ...

Mangrove forests are highly productive coastal ecosystems in which microbial communities drive key biogeochemical processes, such as sulfur and carbon cycling. Lucinid clams and their bacterial ...

The Earth could have experienced sulfide segregation during its differentiation due to sulfur (S) saturation within a magma ocean. The relative timing of sulfide saturation during magma ocean ...

ABSTRACT: Organic fertilizers generally come from agricultural co-products. Their valuation is therefore a major issue for sustainable development. The main objective of this study aims to develop an ...

How the Big Bang produced our solar system with such a perfect star that has all the essential elements for life, G-2 spectral type yellow dwarf, with U-V light that produces oxygen from H2O. Our Sun ...
