Primary school geography paints such a neat picture of the world.It tells us, for example, that there are seven continents on Earth, but the truth is far more complex.Researchers are constantly encountering lost landmasses that constitute important pieces in the puzzle of our planet’s geological past.Now, a whole new continent has been found lurking beneath the icy waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean.The discovery was made around the Davis Strait, a large stretch of water located between Canada’s Baffin Island and Greenland.The strait was formed millions of years ago when the tectonic plates between the two islands shifted, reconfiguring the...

OBAN, United Kingdom — In the darkness of the deep ocean, where sunlight can’t reach, scientists have stumbled upon a strange phenomenon — the production of oxygen where none should exist. An international team says the unexpected discovery of what they’re calling “dark oxygen” challenges our understanding of deep-sea ecosystems and could have far-reaching implications for ocean chemistry and climate science.

Through a 3D star map, researchers analyze how nearby stars might impact their planets’ atmospheres with X-rays, helping guide the search for habitable exoplanets by future telescopes. X-ray observations of nearby stars are helping astronomers identify the best targets to search for exoplanets with conditions suitable for life. Harmful...

LJI researchers develop innovative technique to assess immune memory and SARS-CoV-2 reactions in the upper respiratory tract. Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have conducted the first comprehensive study of immune cell memory in the upper airways of adult volunteers. In their analysis, they identified “tissue resident” memory cells, which are prepared to protect the airways against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory infections.

NASA has revealed that its Perseverance rover may have found evidence of past life on Mars in the Jezero crater beside an ancient, dried-up river. A rock, collected on July 21 and nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” by NASA, displays traits that may answer the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the past. […]

Erythritol, a common artificial sweetener, is found in baked goods, beverages, gum, and candy. Recent research from the Cleveland Clinic indicates that consuming foods containing erythritol, a widely used artificial sweetener, may elevate the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. The study, conducted with healthy volunteers, found that erythritol made platelets—blood cells involved in clotting—more active, thereby increasing the likelihood of blood clots. This effect was not observed with sugar (glucose).

For years, astronomers have been using the extremely steady flashes of light emanating from pulsars, the highly magnetized remains of dead stars that spin like cosmic lighthouses, to keep time on an atomic level of accuracy and observe gravitational waves. But there are fleeting moments when these highly regular pulses...

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

The scientific community has been electrified by this new theory.

The inception of life on Earth may have been the result of chemical reactions sparked by lightning strikes, a new study from Harvard suggests.

“The origin of life is one of the great unanswered questions facing chemistry,” said senior author George M. Whitesides.

Specifically, what remains in question is how billions of years ago the building of life — the nucleic acids that make up our DNA, proteins and metabolites — “emerged spontaneously,” the professor of chemical biology added.
