NASA research shows Sugar Molecule may exist in Interstellar SpaceNASA’s Ames Research Center
New research suggests that the sugar molecule that puts the “D” in DNA — 2-deoxyribose — could exist in the far reaches of space. A team of NASA astrophysicists were able to create DNA’s sugar in laboratory conditions that mimic interstellar space. ![]() This enormous mosaic of the Milky Way galaxy from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows areas of interstellar space where dozens of dense clouds, called nebulas, are forming into new stars.

NASA researches develop Chemical Laptop that could look for life on other PlanetsWritten by Elizabeth Landau
“If this instrument were to be sent to space, it would be the most sensitive device of its kind to leave Earth, and the first to be able to look for both amino acids and fatty acids,” said Jessica Creamer, a NASA postdoctoral fellow based at JPL. ![]() Researchers took the Chemical Laptop to JPL’s Mars Yard, where they placed the device on a test rover. This image shows the size comparison between the Chemical Laptop and a regular laptop. (NASA/JPL-Caltech) «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Technology | No Comments

NASA scientists use new Technique to examine meteor, comet materials for components of LifeWritten by Bill Steigerwald
Some meteorites supply molecules that can be used as building blocks to make certain kinds of larger molecules that are critical for life. Researchers have analyzed carbon-rich meteorites (carbonaceous chondrites) and found amino acids, which are used to make proteins. ![]() This photo compares the sample size typically used in meteorite studies (yellow oval) to the sample size used with the new equipment (blue circle) in Goddard’s Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory.

FDA defines “Gluten-Free” for Food LabelingWashington, D.C. – Celiac disease is a serious health issue that can lead to critical complications if not treated. While there is no cure for celiac disease (CD), there is one way to manage it – following a gluten-free diet. The only choice for the up to three million Americans living with CD is to adhere strictly to a gluten-free diet, avoiding proteins that occur naturally in wheat, rye, barley and cross-bred hybrids of these grains. ![]() Gluten-Free Labeling Consumers Can Count On «Read the rest of this article» Sections: News | No Comments
