New Experiments Suggest RNA Could Have Formed Naturally, Supporting ‘RNA World’ Origin of Life Theory
Experiments show RNA, a crucial molecule for life, could form naturally on early Earth with borates stabilising ribose and aiding phosphate production. Protoplanet impacts may have delivered RNA ingredients, supporting the RNA world hypothesis and suggesting life’s building blocks could emerge efficiently on Earth and potentially Mars.

New Study Challenges Long-Held Beliefs About Mars' Red Colour
The study revealed that another mineral, ferrihydrite, a water-rich ferric oxyhydroxide, is widely present in Martian dust and is likely also found in the rocky layers beneath the surface.

ISS Astronauts Celebrate Christmas in Orbit, Send Messages to Earth
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station marked Christmas in orbit by sending a warm video message to Earth. Members of Expedition 74 shared festive traditions, reflected on being away from home, and joked about orbiting higher than Santa. The crew highlighted teamwork, global support, and the spirit of togetherness that defines life in sp...

Boiling Oceans May Hide Beneath Icy Moons, New Study Suggests
A new study suggests that icy moons such as Mimas and Enceladus may host boiling subsurface oceans triggered by thinning ice shells and falling pressure. This low-temperature boiling could still support life beneath the surface. The research also explains geological features on larger icy moons and strengthens their potential as sites for finding e...

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 5 With NearLink Audio Technology Confirmed to Launch in November
Huawei has teased its upcoming flagship earbuds, the FreeBuds Pro 5, with reservations now open in China. Set to launch later this month, possibly alongside the Mate 80 series, the earbuds will introduce NearLink Audio technology for lossless sound, lower latency, and 40 percent improved power efficiency. They are expected to offer longer battery l...

Hubble Observes Massive Stellar Eruption from EK Draconis, Hinting at Life’s Origins
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope observed a huge solar storm from EK Draconis, a young Sun-like star. The eruption’s energy may trigger atmospheric chemistry, forming greenhouse gases and organic molecules. Such events could mirror early solar activity that helped spark life on ancient Earth and distant exoplanets.

Newly Found ‘Super-Earth’ GJ 251 c Could Be One of the Most Promising Worlds for Alien Life
A new super-Earth, GJ 251 c, has been found orbiting a nearby red dwarf star within its habitable zone. About four times Earth’s mass, it may host liquid water. Detected via the radial-velocity method using Penn State’s Habitable Zone Planet Finder, it’s a prime target in the search for life.
