Scientists have long sought to determine when life first emerged on Earth, with many estimates placing its origin around 4 billion years ago. This timeline suggests that the intricate molecular systems involving RNA, DNA, proteins, and lipid membranes developed relatively quickly after the planet cooled. Researchers are exploring whether analyzing …
Detecting and analyzing the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets remains a significant challenge for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Traditional methods like transit spectroscopy, particularly for the TRAPPIST-1 system, have been complicated by stellar activity such as spots and faculae on the host star. While secondary eclipse observations have revealed …
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, several House primary races are drawing attention for their potential impact on the balance of power in the House of Representatives. With Republicans currently holding a narrow majority, these primaries could influence which candidates advance to the general election and ultimately shape the chamber’s …
