Europe · GreenlandScientists discovered the oldest known DNA and used it to reveal what life was like 2 million years ago in the northern tip of Greenland. Today, it’s a barren Arctic desert, but back then it was a lush landscape of trees and vegetation with an array of animals, even the now extinct mastodon.See the Story
Oldest DNA reveals life in Greenland 2 million years ago

NASAMantle plumes are large blobs of warm and buoyant rock that rise from deep inside a planet. They push through its intermediate layer and reach the base of its crust, causing earthquakes, faulting and volcanic eruptions. Mars was most active 3 to 4 billion years ago, and the prevailing view is that the planet is essentially dead today.See the Story
Giant mantle plume reveals Mars is more active than previously thought: Orbital observations unveil the presence of an enormous mantle plume pushing the surface of Mars upward and driving intense volcanic and seismic activity

EnvironmentThe Alongshan virus was discovered in China only five years ago. Now researchers have found the novel virus for the first time in Swiss ticks. It appears to be at least as widespread as the tickborne encephalitis virus and causes similar symptoms. The team is working on a diagnostic test to assess the epidemiological situation.See the Story

EnvironmentEven as detailed images of distant galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope show us more of the greater universe, scientists still disagree about how life began here on Earth. One hypothesis is that meteorites delivered amino acids -- life's building blocks -- to our planet. Now, researchers have experimentally shown that amino acids could have formed in these early meteorites from reactions driven by gamma rays produced inside the space roc…See the Story
Meteorites plus gamma rays could have given Earth the building blocks for life

EnvironmentNew research highlights the risks of countries relying on nature-based solutions to achieve net-zero. National climate strategies set out how countries plan to reduce emissions, for example by phasing out fossil-fuel use, to get to net-zero in 2050. The study found, once the bulk of emissions have been reduced, countries plan to 'cancel out' the left-over difficult to decarbonise emissions, such as those from agriculture, by using forests and so…See the Story

EnvironmentAt the heart of every CRISPR reaction, whether naturally occurring in bacteria or harnessed by CRIPSR-Cas gene editing technology, is a strong molecular bond of a Cas protein via a guide RNA to its target site on DNA. If the protein stays there forever, then the gene editing process cannot be completed.See the Story
