The planet Earth thawed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. The Moon was created when a Mars-sized object crashed. If there ...

Discover the evolution of bacteria through machine learning, DNA comparisons, and the Great Oxidation Event 2.4 billion years ...

Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are not like big animals that leave clear signs in the ...

Microbial organisms dominate life on Earth, but tracing their early history and evolution is difficult because they rarely ...

Scientists assumed most forms of life before the Great Oxidation Event didn't metabolize oxygen—but recent research suggests ...

The Great Oxidation Event (GOE) some 2.4 billion years ago established the oxygen-rich atmosphere that many living things ...

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

Environmental stress in evolution can be reframed as a powerful engine of innovation, not simply a barrier to survival.

Bacteria may have adapted to oxygen well before Earth's atmosphere was saturated with it, according to a new study. Researchers who traced microbial ...

Bacteria may have adapted to oxygen well before Earth’s atmosphere was saturated with it, according to a new study. Researchers who traced microbial evolution over billions of years – using machine ...

Here, a platinum-supported dual-phase titanium oxide electrocatalyst possess both strong and weak interfaces, which enhance hydrogen evolution reaction. The oxygen evolution reaction is crucial ...

A new study analyzes the evolutionary history of 11 deep-sea species from environments stretching from the central Indian ...
