Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

Algae-Grown Bioplastic Passes Mars Pressure Test, Boosting Hopes for Red Planet Habitats
Scientists have successfully grown algae in bioplastic chambers under Mars-like conditions, marking a step toward sustainable habitats for astronauts. The chambers, made from polylactic acid, supported photosynthesis and stabilized liquid water. This breakthrough suggests self-replicating biomaterials could reduce Earth-based resupply, advancing lo...

Ancient Scrolls Found in Qumran Caves Unlock Secrets of Jewish History and Biblical Texts
Discovered near the Dead Sea, the Qumran scrolls contain ancient biblical texts and writings from a Jewish sect, likely the Essenes. Archaeological and AI research shows the scrolls' origins stretch back over 2,000 years, offering rare insight into Second Temple Judaism. Their preservation in the caves continues to fuel historical and religious sch...
