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

Inside each of your cells lies a nucleus, its master command center. Protected inside each nucleus are your chromosomes, ...

Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action.

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

A new review published in Energy & Environment Nexus examines how innovative geometric designs of tubular solid oxide fuel cells could accelerate the ...

A bacterium famous for shrugging off extreme radiation has now survived the violent shock of a simulated asteroid impact, adding hard experimental evidence to the idea that microbes could travel ...

The idea that life can spread from world to world dates as far back as ancient Greece and the philosopher Anaxagoras.

"Life might actually survive being ejected from one planet and moving to another." ...

Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system.

Michael Rout, the George and Ruby deStevens Professor and head of the Laboratory of Cellular and Structural Biology at Rockefeller University, has spent his career parsing the inner workings of the ...

Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system. Better known as Deinococcus radiodurans, this microbe is arguably the ...

New geometric designs and fabrication methods are pushing tubular solid oxide fuel cells closer to commercialization for green energy systems.
