The history of the Earth has been one of physical extremes—extreme atmospheric conditions, extreme chemical environments, and extreme temperatures. There was a time when the Earth was so hot all the ...
Microbes are present in most environments on Earth, from the depths of the ocean to the air we breathe, and even live inside other organisms where they play an important biological role. They are ...
Enzymes that originally evolved in high-temperature environments later adapted to cooler conditions as Earth underwent global cooling. Now, researchers from Waseda University and RIKEN in Japan have ...

Israeli scientists say tiny organisms can revamp their own RNA to survive extreme heat
Using a novel method, Weizmann Institute researchers map 16 types of simultaneous changes in dozens of samples; findings can ...
Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...
