AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

A new chemotaxis-based method could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life by detecting microbes movement on Mars ...

Chemotaxis, a process for chemically inducing movement in an organism, may be a crucial tool in the search for life on Mars.

Finding life on another planet would be a world-changing discovery for humanity. But actually detecting it is no simple task.

The search for alien life could be boosted by a simple new test, say scientists. They believe the movement of microbes may help detect life on Mars and beyond - in a "cheaper and faster" way than ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

even when it is known that some archaea possess chemotactic systems. “Since H. volcanii is thriving in extremely salty ...

to facilitate electron transfer from atmospheric CO oxidation to the respiratory chain. This interaction is conserved across diverse bacteria and archaea.

Ruff and his team found that subsurface bacteria and archaea are flourishing, even at depths where the energy supply is orders of magnitude lower than enjoyed by organisms in habitats that see the ...

Misplaced smartphones can be tough to find, especially if they fall behind a sofa cushion or bed. Unless you have a vague idea of where you left it, you could waste hours hunting for it.
