Abstract: The stability and topological structure of equilibrium points in the potential field of the asteroid 101955 Bennu have been investigated with a variable density and rotation period. A ...

Just like the government uses an Aadhaar number to uniquely identify an individual for social security purposes, a person’s DNA fingerprint can be used for biological purposes. This is why DNA ...

It’s also found in DNA, RNA and other molecules, Hameroff said, so they hope to find evidence of it in the Bennu material. The asteroid material, of course, is not as complex as a neuron.

A new study suggests that severe trauma, like that experienced in war, can leave epigenetic “scars” on DNA that endures for generations. In the early 1980s, the Syrian regime carried out a ...

In May 2021, OSIRIS-REx began its journey back to Earth carrying dust from Bennu - a rubble-pile asteroid older than Earth itself. When the capsule was opened in 2023, scientists were stunned by ...

The family originated in the inner main belt not very far from the source regions of near-Earth asteroids (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu, recently visited respectively by NASA's OSIRIS-REx and ...

Geoff Bennett: The genetic testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy. And its potential sale has raised alarms about what could happen to the DNA data of its millions of users. 23andMe was ...

a period when the largest desert in the world temporarily turned into a humid savanna-like environment. By analyzing the DNA of two 7,000-year-old ...

Scientists found traces of briny water and salty minerals, similar to those on Europa and Enceladus, suggesting liquid water once flowed on Bennu. A new study suggests Bennu may have formed beyond ...
