The stars have not been aligned for Europe’s first Martian rover ExoMars, but scientists still think the aging vehicle can play a big role in answering one of the biggest questions in Mars exploration: has there ever been life on the Red Planet? The European Space Agency’s (ESA) ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Rover is probably the …

Bryson DeChambeau claims he ‘personally knows’ the PGA Tour will reverse its indefinite ban on players joining the controversial Saudi-back LIV Golf series – and believes a resolution will be found ‘pretty shortly’. Speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News, ‘The Scientist’ gave a confident response when asked if he was worried about his life …
SANTA CLARA — Here’s who stood out during Day 5 of 49ers training camp. Keep in mind, this was the 49ers’ first practice in pads, plus it was the first practice in which Deebo Samuel participated, although he mostly played with the second stringers. THE GOOD 1. Quarterback Trey Lance. He completed 5 of 10 …

“We think the kind of reactions we’ve described are probably what could have happened on early Earth,” says Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy. The reaction generates the building blocks of proteins and DNA: amino acids and nucleic acids. Four billion years ago, the Earth looked very different than it does today. It was devoid of life and covered …

Once upon a time, when our planet Earth was very young and very new, there was not a single scrap of life on it to be found. Then, somewhere, somehow, some quirk of chemistry happened, and the molecular building blocks of our very first single-celled ancestors emerged: the amino acids and nucleic acids that came …

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Four billion years ago, the Earth looked very different than it does today, devoid of life and covered by a vast ocean. Over the course of millions of years, in that primordial soup, life emerged. Researchers have long theorized how molecules came together to spark this transition. Now, scientists at Scripps …

Sin or super snack? It’s hard to think of another food that’s been both vilified and hyped up as much as chocolate. Dieters used to be told to steer clear of it — especially white or milk chocolate — because of its high fat and sugar content. But increasingly studies show the dark variety has …
