Methane-Belching Bugs Inspire a New Theory of the Origin of Life on Earth
Two laboratories at Penn State set out to show how an obscure undersea microbe metabolizes carbon monoxide into methane and vinegar. view more (2006-05-15)
Researchers discover ancient origins of tuberculosis-causing bacteria
Researchers have long considered tuberculosis, a bacterial respiratory disease that kills 3 million people each year, a relatively recent human affliction. view more (2005-08-19)
Inside rocks, implications for finding life on Mars
If a future space mission to Mars brings rocks back to Earth, Schopf said the techniques he has used, called confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, could enable scientists to look at microscopic fossils inside the rocks to search for signs of life, such as organic cell walls. view more (2006-02-01)
Two new lakes found beneath Antarctic ice sheet
The Earth Institute at Columbia University-Lying beneath more than two miles of Antarctic ice, Lake Vostok may be the best-known and largest subglacial lake in the world, but it is not alone down there. view more (2006-01-26)
Diamonds from outer space — Geologists discover origin of Earth's mysterious black diamonds
If indeed "a diamond is forever," the most primitive origins of Earth's so-called black diamonds were in deep, universal time, geologists have discovered. Black diamonds came from none other than interstellar space. view more (2007-01-10)
Small molecule interactions were central to the origin of life
In an important new paper forthcoming in the June issue of The Quarterly Review of Biology, Robert Shapiro (New York University) argues against the widely held theory that the origin of life began with the spontaneous appearance of a large, replicating molecule such as RNA. view more (2006-05-17)
Origins of Life
The origin of life lies in unique ocean reefs, and scientists from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science have developed an approach to help investigate them better. view more (2006-11-20)
LSU scientists develop new theory about human genome evolution
A group of LSU researchers, led by biological sciences Professor Mark Batzer, have unraveled the details of a 25-million-year-old evolutionary process in the human genome. Their study focused on the origin and spread of transposable elements in the genome, many of which are known to be related to certain genetic disorders, such as hemophilia. view more (2005-07-01)
Study points to molecular origin of neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine points to the possible molecular origin of at least nine human diseases of nervous system degeneration. view more (2005-09-26)
Physicists step closer to understanding origin of the universe
The world's largest particle detector is nearing completion following the construction of its 'endcap' at the University of Liverpool. view more (2006-02-22)
New map of the Milky Way charts where stars are born
A team of astronomers from Boston University's Institute for Astrophysical Research has produced the clearest map to-date of the giant gas clouds in the Milky Way that serve as the birthplaces of stars. view more (2006-03-24)
Researchers identify major source of muscle repair cells
In a surprising discovery with implications for treating muscular dystrophy, researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine and other institutions have identified a major source of origin for two groups of adult cells that regulate muscle repair. view more (2006-01-30)
Scientists' cell discovery unearths evolutionary clues
The full family tree of the species known as social amoebas has been plotted for the first time - a breakthrough which will provide important clues to the evolution of life on earth. view more (2006-10-30)
Genetic contributions to human brain morphology and intelligence
While showing an impressive growth prenatally, the human brain is not completed at birth. There is considerable brain growth during childhood with dynamic changes taking place in the human brain throughout life, probably for adaptation to our environments. view more (2007-10-17)
Integral looks at Earth to seek source of cosmic radiation
Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: observing Earth from space. view more (2006-02-13)
First beam for Large Hadron Collider, world's mightiest particle accelerator
An international collaboration of scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the 17-mile-long underground circular path of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2008-09-11)
Out of Africa: Scientists uncover history of honey bee
"Every honey bee alive today had a common ancestor in Africa" is one conclusion drawn by a team of scientists that probed the origin of the species and the movements of introduced populations, including African "killer" bees in the New World. view more (2006-10-26)

Selecting life: Scientists find new way to search for origin of life
Over the last half century, researchers have found that mineral surfaces may have played critical roles organizing, or activating, molecules that would become essential ingredients to all life-such as amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and nucleic acids (the essence of DNA). But which of the countless possible combinations of... view more... (2006-11-10)
Essential Hope for Multiple Sclerosis
New research by psychologists reveals the positive effects of aromatherapy on the quality of life for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sufferers. Researchers at the University of Teeside found MS patients, in spite of experiencing the same symptoms, felt more vitality, happiness and peace during aromatherapy treatment, and less depression, fatigue and... view more...
