Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

The transition from non-life to life was very likely aided by an asteroid hitting Earth, prebiotic chemistry, molecular self-replication, and the emergence of membranes.

Some bacteria can take a punch that would crush a submarine. In a new set of impact tests, one desert microbe, Deinococcus ...
