A mysterious cosmic traveler has found its way to the Solar System from the uncharted reaches of interstellar space. The rare ...

Astronomers on Wednesday confirmed the discovery of an interstellar object racing through our Solar System – only the third ...

The interstellar object has been named 3I/Atlas by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center.

Life’s ultimate origin will never be known, but researchers are probing the possibilities—for Earth and elsewhere.

Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried champions a metabolic perspective on cancer, highlighting glucose and glutamine as key fuels for tumor growth. His research suggests that targeting these metabolic pathways, ...

NASA's Curiosity Rover has discovered long carbon chains on Mars. On Earth, molecules like these are overwhelmingly produced by biological processes.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The discovery is one of the most significant findings in the search for ...

Back in 2013, NASA’s Curiosity rover drilled into a patch of Martian mudstone known as "Cumberland," located in the ancient lakebed of Gale Crater. This detour from Curiosity’s planned path ...

Fatty acids may have 4-36 carbon atoms; however, most of them have 12-18. The longest carbon chains found in Cumberland are 12 atoms long. Mars Sample Return will deliver Mars rocks to Earth for ...

Cumberland's most recent analysis is one of its biggest yet. In the PNAS study, NASA scientists note that they found the molecules decane, undecane, and dodecane within the rock. Each of these ...
