Observations from the Subaru Telescope on January 7, 2026, revealed a surprisingly low carbon dioxide-to-water ratio, suggesting the composition of the...
A new nanoscale analysis of the Bennu sample OREX-800066-3 returned by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission shows that organic compounds and minerals cluster into...
Using the Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) on the Gemini South telescope at the International Gemini Observatory, astronomers have directly...
New findings from Neretva Vallis, an ancient river channel that once transported water into Jezero crater on Mars, reveal unusually high nickel levels...
A new analysis of isotopic signatures across planets and meteorite parent bodies suggests our home world formed entirely from inner solar system material,...
By probing supercooled water with ultrafast lasers before it crystallizes, physicists at Stockholm University observed telltale signs of a long-theorized...
A team of researchers from the United States and Germany has identified fungal proteins that can freeze water at relatively warm subzero temperatures,...
Mars almost certainly once held abundant water. Until now, observations have shown that most atmospheric water loss occurs during the Red Planet’s southern...
Planetary scientists analyzing oxygen isotopes in lunar soil from the Apollo mission sites conclude that meteorite bombardment over 4 billion years could...
According to new observations by NASA’s SPHEREx mission, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has dramatically changed its behavior, developing the hallmarks...
Scientists using the Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instrument aboard NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft have observed 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed...
The data from NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn initially led researchers to suspect a large underground ocean composed of liquid water on Titan. However,...
Using high-precision spectroscopic observations from the Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space...
Scientists from University of Sydney and start-up Dewpoint Innovations have created a porous polymer coating that reflects up to 97% of sunlight and radiates...
Researchers have discovered 6-million-year-old-ice and air in shallow ice cores drilled in the Allan Hills region of East Antarctica. They speculate that...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected doubly deuterated water (D2O), or ‘heavy water,’ in the protoplanetary...
Scientists have demonstrated that supercompressed water transforms into ice VI at room temperature through multiple freezing-melting pathways, which occur...
That’s according to the first ever evidence-based dietary guidelines for adults with chronic constipation. Published in the Journal of Human Nutrition...
During the Pleistocene-Holocene transition (around 12,000 years ago), humans exploited a network of seasonal water bodies in the interior of northern Arabia,...
