Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that urea—an essential building block for life—could have formed on the early Earth. Instead of requiring high temperatures or complex catalysts, this ...
LMU researchers have demonstrated a possible mechanism for metabolic processes without cell membranes in water-filled pores.
Internet viewers have deemed a dog's reaction to trying sparkling water "valid" as the confused pup appeared shocked and confused. Nellie, a miniature bull terrier, lives in the U.K. with her ...
In photosynthetic reaction centers from purple bacteria (PbRCs) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, the secondary quinone Q B accepts two electrons and two protons via electron-coupled proton transfer (PT).
Solid alloys of aluminum, gallium, indium and tin have been shown to react with water at room temperature to produce hydrogen and aluminum hydroxide in an exothermic reaction. The gallium, indium and ...
