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.

Researchers Question Authenticity of Mosasaur Fossil in Morocco Mine
The discovery of a mosasaur fossil in a phosphate mine in Morocco has raised concerns over its authenticity. Initially described in 2021 as a new species, Xenodens calminechari, the fossil included a jawbone and sharp teeth, leading researchers to claim its uniqueness. However, new findings have prompted skepticism, particularly regarding the struc...

New Synthetic Antioxidant Inspired by 'Conan the Bacterium' Could Shield Humans from Radiation
Researchers have developed a synthetic antioxidant inspired by Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium nicknamed "Conan the Bacterium" for its ability to survive extreme radiation levels. This lab-made compound, called manganese-dependent peptide (MDP), combines manganese ions, phosphate ions, and a peptide from D. radiodurans to neutralise harmful ra...
