Father and Daughter Decode Mysterious Signal From Space: What Does It Mean?
- Saturday November 16, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
In 2023, a cosmic puzzle was decoded by a father-daughter team of citizen scientists. The message, originating from Mars, reveals five amino acids. While the project simulated an extraterrestrial transmission, the meaning of these amino acids remains uncertain. Could they represent life? Or perhaps something more? This fascinating puzzle has ignite...

Mitochondria Divide Roles for Energy and Molecular Synthesis Under Low-Nutrient Conditions, Reveals New Study
- Monday November 11, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New findings reveal that mitochondria in nutrient-deprived cells adopt specialised roles to prioritise either energy generation or amino acid synthesis. Led by Dr. Craig Thompson of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the study identified specific mitochondrial subpopulations, allowing cells to maintain critical functions even under stress. The...

Water Drop Discovered on Ryugu Asteroid Offers Clues to Origins of Life on Earth
- Friday September 23, 2022
- Agence France-Presse
A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

New Study Explains How Human Brain Developed Differently Than Neanderthals
- Saturday July 30, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
Researchers have introduced modern human variants in mice. The six amino acid positions are the same in both mice and Neanderthals. It was found that three modern human amino acids in two of the proteins cause a longer metaphase, a phase where chromosomes are prepared for cell division, and this results in fewer errors when the chromosomes are dist...
