Hot-Vent Microbes: Looking Backward In Evolution For Future Uses
Myrna Watanabe | May 29, 1994 | 7 min read
They live--thrive, even--in boiling water! They feed on sulfur or hydrogen. They could be from one of the moons of Jupiter. In fact, their existence here on Earth has led scientists to realize that planets they hitherto assumed to be lifeless might support life. These thermophilic, or heat- loving, microbes--Archaea--are attracting a small but growing cadre of researchers and serious research funding from the United States governmen

Darkness Before the Dawn -- of Biology
Jack Lucentini | Dec 1, 2003 | 7 min read
Courtesy of Preston Huey, © 2003 AAAS  LIFE IN THE HOT SEAT: In one hypothetical model, an alkaline hydrothermal solution of constant temperature and pH may have convectively pumped through a confining porous mound of precipitated clays, hydroxides such as Mg(OH)2, and iron nickel sulfides into a cool and acidulous ocean. In 1953 a University of Chicago graduate student, Stanley Miller, shot electric sparks into an apparatus that circulated water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen in a

Origins-Of-Life Research Rescued From Scientific Fringe
Scott Veggeberg | Oct 25, 1992 | 6 min read
Bolstered by new scientific evidence, research into how self- replicating organisms emerged from basic organic molecules present on the early Earth is moving away from the scientific fringe and into the mainstream. Although there are only a handful of people who would call themselves origins-of-life researchers, the field is undergoing a renaissance, with a wide array of disciplines, such as radio astronomy, planetary science, molecular biology, and biochemistry, converging to make advances.
Ancient Microfossils May be Earliest Signs of Life

Researchers find what appear to be 3.77 billion-year-old hints of microbial life hidden in Canadian rocks, but some scientists are not convinced.
