Deep life’s survival secret: Crustal faulting generates key energy sources, study shows
Chinese researchers have recently challenged the long-held belief that "all life depends on sunlight." In a study published in Science Advances, the researchers identified how microbes in deep subsurface areas can derive energy from chemical reactions driven by crustal faulting, offering critical insights into life deep below Earth's surface.

Four newly-discovered species of #cave-dwelling #pseudoscorpions have jaws like dragons and are completely blind
not sure if it's a great idea to use imaginary animals as reference point to describe a new species?

When Earth iced over, early life may have sheltered in meltwater ponds
Millions of years ago, during periods known as “Snowball Earth,” when much of the planet was covered in ice, some of our ancient cellular ancestors could have waited out the deep freeze in pools of melted ice that dotted the planet’s icy surface, according to a new study.
