Video: Scientists Capture Real‑Time Footage of Plants “Breathing” Through Stomata
Researchers have achieved a scientific milestone by filming how plants “breathe” in real time, watching microscopic leaf pores called stomata open and close as they exchange gases with the atmosphere. These stomata regulate how much carbon dioxide enters a leaf for photosynthesis and how much water vapor and oxygen are released back into the air.…

Study Suggests RNA, a Key Molecule for Life, Could Form Naturally on Early Earth
Scientists have found new evidence suggesting that RNA, a molecule essential for life, may have formed naturally under early Earth conditions. The study, published on December 15 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, challenges long-standing assumptions about how difficult the origin of life’s building blocks might have been. RNA plays a…

Ammonites Survived the Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Longer Than Thought
A new study of fossils found in Denmark suggests that ancient marine animals known as ammonites did not die out immediately after the asteroid impact that ended the age of dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. Researchers report that ammonites survived for tens of thousands of years, possibly up to about 200,000 years, after the…
