Exploring the transformation of Earth from a volcanic hellscape to a potential birthplace of life during the Hadean era.

Jun Korenaga, Yale, will present "Hadean Earth" as part of Andrew Steel's "What is Life and Where Can We Find ... On the basis of recent developments in these two subjects, along with geodynamical ...

A promising candidate for protocells is polyester microdroplets, which form through the simple polymerization of alpha-hydroxy acids (αHAs), compounds believed to have accumulated on early Earth ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — Studies of sediment cores from the sea floor and the coastal regions surrounding the Aegean Sea show that humans contaminated the environment with lead early on in antiquity.

A research team has discovered another piece in the puzzle of the formation of the Moon and water on Earth. The prevailing theory was that the Moon was the result of a collision between the early ...

Polyester microdroplets, possible precursors to life, were formed from alpha-hydroxy acids (αHAs) in early Earth-like conditions even at low reaction volume, low reactant concentrations ...

The prevailing theory had been that the moon was the result of a collision between early Earth and the protoplanet Theia. New measurements indicate that the moon formed from material ejected from ...

The findings suggest that the life could have arisen during the early Hadean Eon, hundreds of millions of years earlier than typically thought. According to the authors, the study carries implications ...
