Unveiling hydrogen's role in life's early energy mechanisms
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 21, 2024
A study reveals that hydrogen gas, known as a modern clean fuel, was also a fundamental energy source at the dawn of life nearly 4 billion years ago. This discovery underscores hydrogen's longstanding significance in both ancient biological processes and its potential in future sustainable energy solutions.
Hydrothermal vents, releasing hydrogen in the deep sea, provided the early Earth's

Venus' Clouds Could Harbor Life: MIT Study Finds Amino Acids Stable in Sulfuric Acid
Boston MA (SPX) Mar 21, 2024
If there is life in the solar system beyond Earth, it might be found in the clouds of Venus. In contrast to the planet's blisteringly inhospitable surface, Venus' cloud layer, which extends from 30 to 40 miles above the surface, hosts milder temperatures that could support some extreme forms of life.
If it's out there, scientists have assumed that any Venusian cloud inhabitant would look v

Japan's space agency says it hopes to forge a profitable launch business with its new H3 rocket
Japan's space agency and its prime contractor said Thursday they hope to be able to forge a profitable launch business with their new H3 rocket after its first successful flight last month in an increasingly competitive market dominated by Space X.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have been developing the H3 as a successor to the soon-to-retire current mainstay H-2A, which enjoyed a 98% success rate but its high launch cost made it less competitive in the global market.
