Helium-3 dating reveals new plankton species emerged within thousands—and sometimes just 2,000—years after the dinosaur-killing impact, showing life recovered far faster than assumed.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started releasing its first discoveries: including supernovae, variable stars and asteroids ...

This meant subjecting microbes to minimum pressures equivalent to ten times those of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of ...

Johns Hopkins researchers show bacteria can survive asteroid-like shock, raising new questions about life moving between ...

Tiny life forms tucked into debris from an asteroid hit could catapult to other planets—including Earth—and survive, a new Johns Hopkins University study finds. The work demonstrates that a certain ...

Hardy bacteria in a lab survived pressures comparable to an asteroid strike on the red planet, suggesting a hypothetical scenario in which our planet was seeded with life.

"For asteroids of the size scale relevant to planetary defense (i.e., ∼50-500 m), the mass can only be directly measured ...

Sifting through 180,000 observations, the team found a single event. We may have detected a whistler wave on the Red Planet.

The newly found tektites in Brazil are named "geraisites," after the east coast Brazilian state of Minas Gerais where they were found. The geraisites are between 1 gram and 86 grams in mass and have ...
