Ancient Space Dust Sheds Light on Infant Sun's Formation

Scientists studying the early history of our solar system have turned to an unlikely source: space dust that has survived since the Sun was born roughly 4.6 billion years ago. This ancient material, preserved in celestial archives, is providing researchers with new clues about the conditions and processes that

Science Digest: Origin of Life Research, Space Missions, and a Physics Breakthrough

Today's science news spans from the origins of life to the edge of the observable universe. Ancient Microbe Partnership May Reveal How Complex Life Began Researchers have captured the first direct images of an Asgard archaeon physically attached to a bacterium within ancient stromatolite communities, revealing what appears

China Announces Global Initiative for Cislunar Satellite Constellation

China has announced a new global initiative focused on developing a satellite constellation in cislunar space—the region between Earth and the Moon. The program, described as a multilateral effort, centers on deploying cube satellites designed for scientific research and exploration purposes beyond traditional Earth orbital zones. The initiative represents

Edible Sea Squirts Yield Compound That May Counter Aging Effects in Mice

A team at Stanford University has identified a substance that appears to slow—or even reverse—several hallmarks of aging in animal tests. The compound, called plasmalogen, occurs naturally in edible sea squirts (a type of marine organism also known as Ciona intestinalis) and was fed to older mice over

Japan's Martian Moon Sample Return Mission: What to Know

Japan's space agency JAXA has launched a probe aimed at Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons, in what marks the country's first Mars exploration mission in 28 years. The spacecraft, if successful, would become the first mission to return physical samples from a Martian

MIT Engineers Build Living Transistors From Bacteria

MIT researchers have developed a novel approach to biological computing by engineering bacteria to function as living transistors. These bacterial transistors can be wired together into circuits capable of performing calculations and directing chemical signals. A transistor acts as a switch or amplifier for electronic signals. The MIT team engineered

UCLA Scientists Identify Two Key Mechanisms Behind Human Brain Development Before Birth

New research from UCLA has uncovered two fundamental mechanisms that guide the construction of the human brain before birth. The study focuses on radial glia, specialized stem cells responsible for generating much of the cerebral cortex, the brain's outer layer responsible for higher cognitive functions. The first mechanism
