In a cave 18 metres below the surface at Movile in Romania, sealed off from the outside world for 5.5 million years, biologists have found 48 species that live on hydrogen sulphide and have never seen sunlight

Researchers froze the simplest amino acid to nearly minus 260°C and bombarded it with radiation that mimics cosmic rays — and it formed peptides, the building blocks of proteins, under conditions that exist before stars and planets are born

With 30 minutes left in her submersible dive, geochemist Mengran Du steered toward one last stretch of the deep trenches between Russia and Alaska — and found life where almost no one expected it. Published in 2025, the discovery revealed a 2,500-kilometre ecosystem of clams and tubeworms as deep as 9,533 metres, powered not by sunlight but by methane and hydrogen sulfide seeping from the seafloor.
