There are “costs of life” that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific biochemical processes active — such as those that make up ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do. All they need is to complete a circuit; that’s enough for them to ...

Scientists have developed an AI tool that creates detailed models of cellular metabolism, making it easier to understand how cells function. Understanding how cells process nutrients and produce ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

The organism, an early-evolving bacterium named Hydrogenobacter, thrives in the hydrothermal spring environments of Yellowstone National Park, which are rich in sulfur but have very low dissolved ...
