- Exploration of lake hidden beneath Antarctica's ice sheet begins
01-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
A four-man science team led by British Antarctic Survey's Dr Andy Smith has begun exploring an ancient lake hidden deep beneath Antarctica's ice sheet. The lake -- the size of Lake Windermere -- could yield vital clues to life on Earth, climate change and future sea-level rise.

- Extraordinary life found around deep-sea gas seeps
11-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
An international team led by scientists from the United States and New Zealand have observed, for the first time, the bizarre deep-sea communities living around methane seeps off New Zealand's east coast. This is the first time cold seeps have been viewed and sampled in the southwest Pacific. Cold seeps are areas of the seafloor where methane gas or hydrogen sulphide escapes from large stores deep below.

- Dig deeper to find Martian life
01-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Probes designed to find life on Mars do not drill deep enough to find the living cells that scientists believe may exist well below the surface of Mars, according to research led by UCL (University College London). Although current drills may find essential tell-tale signs that life once existed on Mars, cellular life could not survive the radiation levels for long enough any closer to the surface of Mars than a few metres deep -- beyond the reach of even state-of-the-art drills.

- Location, location -- Cell sizes, lives influenced by host size
03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
UF, Harvard scientists used mathematical models to discover that the size of a mammal affects the energy use, life span and at times even the size of its cells. Conceptually this is important because research on human diseases is often done on single cells or cultured cells that come from other animals without taking the size or other whole-body properties of the animals into consideration.
