Researchers in Japan say they have identified all five nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA in samples brought back from the asteroid Ryugu by the Japanese space probe Hayabusa2.

When Anastasios Tzanidakis was sifting through some older telescope observations, he stumbled across something that should ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from ...
