The microorganisms, instead, originated a lot closer to home: on Earth. The findings indicate that the samples got ...

A chunk of rock collected from the asteroid Ryugu contains bacteria—but, unfortunately, it's not evidence of alien life.

Samples taken from the space-returned piece of asteroid Ryugu were collected and prepared under strict anti-contamination ...

The AI-RACS system, developed by Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers, automates the isolation of aluminum-tolerant microorganisms, advancing microbial research through high-throughput workflows. R ...

Excitement turned to surprise when scientists studying asteroid Ryugu samples found elongated microorganisms. Were they alien ...

Last year, researchers excitedly announced that they had found two organic compounds essential for living organisms in ...

For instance, microorganisms could produce enzymes and surfactants for detergents needed for cleaning, allowing even factory effluent to be repurposed for compost and other uses. So, by fully ...

Microorganisms are very tiny organisms that can only be seen in detail using a microscope. Many microorganisms are unicellular which means they exist as a single cell. Examples of microorganisms ...

Scientists have developed an AI tool that is capable of pinpointing someone's recent location using a sample of microorganisms they may have collected on their travels. The breakthrough ...
