Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are tapping forces of nature to store information more permanently.
Geotimes November 2004 Jay Chapman	Impacting the Origin of Life Impact events and meteorite strikes are often associated with mass extinctions and widespread devastation. But, despite this destructive reputation, impact events may have played a role in the evolution of life, according to several new studies.
