The origins of life on Earth remains one of science’s biggest mysteries.

Have ever wondered how homing pigeons make round trips without GPS, or how pregnant sea turtles find the same beach on which they were born decades earlier to lay their own eggs?

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology may have made headway in helping determine the origin of life by identifying three different molecules that self-assemble to form a molecular structure with features characteristic of modern RNA.

Tides acting in conjunction with life could influence the rotation of planets .

If RNA came before DNA, then what came before RNA?

Molecules in a meteorite have connected life’s handedness to star-forming regions.

New research by a trans-Atlantic team of scientists suggests that bacteria could survive in briny chemicals that exist on Mars, Enceladus, Europa, Pluto and possibly elsewhere.

A more favorable climate on the early Earth could have allowed life to form sooner than expected.

The Red Planet may have migrated to its current position.
