Asteroid impacts may catapult life from one planet to another, as new research claims that hardy bacteria can survive the ...

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.

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...

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

Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 Ryugu asteroid particles reveals stable magnetization acquired within millions of years of solar ...

A famously resilient bacterium may be tough enough to survive one of the most violent events imaginable on Mars. In ...

A sediment-washing “bubbler” helped researchers recover 65.5-million-year-old teeth that illuminate how early primate relatives spread after the mass extinction.

A super-tough microbe may be able to survive being blasted from Mars into space—opening the door to interplanetary life ...

The extremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans can survive the pressures developed during ejection from Mars as a result of massive asteroid impact. According to the authors, microorganisms can ...

Modern classics like The Brutalist, Marty Supreme, and Oppenheimer are all among the best, most perfect movies released since the year 2020.

The dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid, but does that mean we risk suffering the same fate - and should you be worried about the possibility? Leah Crane sets the matter straight ...
