Earth's Plant Life Could Survive for Another 1.87 Billion Years, Study Finds

New research suggests Earth's vegetative biosphere could support plant life for approximately 1.8 to 1.87 billion years, significantly longer than previous estimates. The extended timeline is due to a more sophisticated understanding of how a brightening sun and decreasing carbon dioxide will impact photosynthesis.

Ancient Human Cousins May Have Used Stone Tools, Challenging Evolutionary Narratives

New evidence suggests Paranthropus, robust ancient African hominins with large jaws and small brains, may have used Oldowan stone tools for processing plants and animals. Discoveries in Kenya challenge the long-held belief that toolmaking was exclusive to the Homo genus, indicating a more diverse landscape of early human innovation.

SpudCell: Scientists Create First Synthetic System Mimicking Life's Full Cycle

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed SpudCell, a synthetic system built from chemicals that mimics key life behaviors like eating, growing, copying genetic material, and dividing. While not strictly alive, it's the first to integrate these functions into a complete life cycle in a lab, marking a significant step in synthetic biology.
