A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in Canada, working with a colleague from the U.S., has found evidence of long-lived sub-seafloor bacteria seeping up into the ocean and traveling long distances ...
A team of researchers at MIT has found via theoretical modeling that the saltiness of the oceans on Saturn's moon, Enceladus, may be the right level to sustain life. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, ...
