The best answer we have is, "Life is matter with intentionality."
The study of antimatter.
Sci-fi enthusiasts have long hoped that a substance called antimatter might experience gravity opposite that of ordinary matter. It doesn't.
Earth-like exoplanet
Some fascinating observations of K2-18b have come along with horrendous, speculative communications. There's no evidence for oceans or life.

When leaders connect enterprise ambition with the driving spirit of activism, everyone wins.
mars oceans
Chemical changes inside Mars' core caused it to lose its magnetic field. This, in turn, caused it to lose its oceans. But how?
most distant gravitational lens
A more distant galaxy liked the lens so much that it went and put a ring on it. Here's the science behind this remarkable cosmic object.
