Caltech researcher Vlada Stamenković and co-authors calculated that if liquid water exists on the Red Planet, it could contain more oxygen than previously...
Ancient inhabitants of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) survived periods of drought due to their utilization of brackish groundwater discharge that surfaces buoyantly...
By looking from two ground-based telescopes at wavelengths sensitive to thermal radiation leaking from the depths of Jupiter’s mysterious, roiling storm...
Astronomers have largely assumed that water-world exoplanets would not support the cycling of minerals and gases that keeps the climate stable on Earth,...
A team of researchers led by Dr. Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii and Brown University has directly observed definitive evidence of surface-exposed...
A research team led by Harvard University astronomer Li Zeng has shown that water is likely to be a major component of extrasolar planets which are between...
Water has numerous anomalous properties, many of which remain poorly understood. One of its intriguing behaviors is that it exhibits the so-called temperature...
On Mars, the atmospheric pressure is around 0.6% of Earth’s. Any liquid water on the surface would very quickly evaporate or freeze. One of the challenges...
ESA’s Mars Express orbiter has used radar signals bounced through underground layers of ice to find evidence of liquid water trapped below the south...
There may have been two windows of habitability for the Moon, according to new research by University of London’s Professor Ian Crawford and Dr. Dirk...
An international team of geophysicists has discovered two hypersaline lakes beneath the Devon Ice Cap, one of the largest ice caps in the Canadian Arctic.
A...
The high-energy impact about 100 million years after our Solar System formed, resulted in the two colliding planetary objects completely merging to create...
An international team of scientists has developed a numerical 3D model for the melting of single snowflakes. A better understanding of how snow melts can...
An international team of scientists from the United States and Canada has discovered the first direct evidence that aqueous pockets may exist as far as...
An international team of researchers, led by Arizona State University chemist C. Austen Angell and University of Amsterdam’s Dr. Sander Woutersen, has...
Astronomers using NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have detected water vapor in the atmosphere of a Saturn-mass exoplanet known as WASP-39b. By combining...
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience indicates that water may be more prevalent on the lunar surface than previously thought.
If the...
After many years of experiments, physicists have observed that under extreme temperatures and pressures, water takes on a new form called superionic ice....
