“Freezing” Thermophiles: From One Temperature Extreme to Another
New detections of thermophiles in psychrobiotic (i.e., bearing cold-tolerant life forms) marine and terrestrial habitats including Arctic marine sediments, Antarctic accretion ice, permafrost, and elsewhere are continually being reported.

Doppler cross-correlation spectroscopy as a path to the detection of Earth-like planets
In the middle of the 20th century, a paradigm shift appeared concerning the expected frequency of planetary systems in the galaxy ...a shift induced by the observation of the rotational velocities of low main sequence stars (Struve 1952)!At the same time,

Genomic Features of the Bundle-Forming Heliobacterium Heliophilum fasciatum
Eight species of heliobacteria have had their genomes sequenced. However, only two of these genomes have been analyzed in detail, those from the thermophilic Heliomicrobium (Hmi.) modesticaldum and the alkaliphilic Heliorestis (Hrs.) convoluta.
