Geochemistry Origins of Life: Did Earth’s Rocks Force Life to Begin?
Thermodynamic calculations from NASA's LIFE RCN seminar series suggest early Earth's mineral-water reactions didn't just permit life's building blocks — they may have chemically compelled their assembly, with implications for the search for life on Europa and Enceladus.
Heat Waves Drive 42% of Wildfire Burn Area — New Study Explains Why
A new peer-reviewed study finds that heat waves — despite occupying just 12–15% of warm-season days — account for 42% of all area burned by wildfires, with daily burn rates running more than 50% higher during extreme heat events.
8 Ways Rare Disease Families Are Co-Authoring the Science That Could Save Them
More than 300 million people live with a rare disease, yet diagnosis alone averages six years. These eight stories show how affected families are moving from the waiting room to the research table — and reshaping rare disease science from the inside.
Early Career Scientist Wins National Fellowship to Fight Heart Disease
A postdoctoral researcher at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute is among a nationally competitive group of early-career scientists earning fellowships to advance cardiovascular disease research. These awards are rewriting what heart disease prevention and treatment can realistically look like.
Reishi Mushroom Extract Beat Melatonin for Chronic Insomnia in 8-Week Trial
A randomized controlled trial enrolling 60 adults with chronic insomnia found that reishi mushroom extract (Ganoderma lucidum) produced significantly greater reductions in Insomnia Severity Index scores than melatonin over eight weeks — a result that challenges the reflexive reach for melatonin and points to reishi's broader biological mechanisms as a potential advantage for this hard-to-treat population.
