I spoke with Andy Weir about the adaptation of his hit novel, Project Hail Mary. Our conversation quickly turned into a mind-blowing lesson about science fiction.

The fictional biologist in ‘Project Hail Mary’ claims that potential alien organisms might not be made of carbon or require water, unlike life on Earth.

Like the lead character of “Project Hail Mary,” some scientists are proposing ways that life might exist beyond a star’s “habitable zone,” often considered the gold standard of potential livability ...

The planet K2-18b, which drew intense speculation last year due to apparent signs of life, shows no signs of advanced civilisation after a comprehensive search for radio signals from it. In 2025, ...

It is often suggested that this may have already happened: alien technosignatures may have reached Earth during the past six decades but have gone unnoticed. If that is true, it suggests that more ...

Water has long been seen as essential for life, but new ideas suggest entirely different chemistry could support living systems elsewhere in the universe. This video explores how elements like boron ...

Have you ever wondered how to make water from scratch? Exoplanets orbing other stars may have cooked up a new recipe. Manufacturing water is a relatively simple chemical process, albeit a dangerous ...

Researchers discovered that living horsetails act like natural distillation towers, producing bizarre oxygen isotope signatures more extreme than anything previously recorded on Earth—sometimes ...
