BREAKING: NASA just found the ingredients of life on an asteroid.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has analyzed samples from asteroid Bennu and confirmed the presence of: Ribose (the sugar backbone of RNA)
Glucose (the main energy sugar used by all living cells) – the first time glucose has ever been found beyond Earth

Other known building blocks of life, such as amino acids and nucleobases, were also present. Notably, deoxyribose (the sugar in DNA) was absent, supporting the “RNA World” hypothesis that life began with RNA before DNA evolved.These pristine samples show that the essential ingredients for life were already widespread in the early Solar System and could have been delivered to Earth by asteroids. #Space #Research

With the Atomic Energy Bill lined up this session and India targeting 100 GW of nuclear power, momentum is building around a thorium-centred expansion of nuclear energy via Bharat Small Reactors.

Chicago-based Clean Core Thorium Energy’s ANEEL (a thorium–uranium blended fuel named after Anil Kakodkar) is undergoing final confirmatory testing at a U.S. national laboratory.

The company has already announced tie-ups with Larsen & Toubro and NTPC Limited.

Crucially, ANEEL can be used straightaway in India’s existing Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors, unlocking India’s vast thorium reserves (nearly 1 million tonnes, about 25% of the global total). #Nuclear #Energy #Reforms 🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸☢️
