'Water paradox' solved by microdroplets

Recent research may point towards a solution to the 'water paradox' for the early formation of life

The Conversation

The study of evolution is fracturing – and that may be a good thing

How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will go extinct – or evolve into something new? How will microbes develop further resistance to antibiotics?
