There Be No Microbe!
Researcher found a place with no microbe living there. What makes the Earth habitable? Is it possible with no microbe? It has the right chemical ingredients for life, including water and carbon. But European scientists have recently discovered a place on Earth where no one can live because there is no microbe living. Scientists have […]
