Scientists studying Mars may have uncovered a brand-new mineral hidden in the planet’s ancient sulfate deposits. By combining laboratory experiments with orbital data, researchers identified an ...

Life's capacity to survive in simulated lunar and Martian soils has been explored in two papers published in Scientific Reports. Treating simulated lunar soil with both symbiotic fungi and ...

A potential new mineral on Mars forms when iron sulfates are heated above 100°C. Data from Valles Marineris regions suggest ...

Water, water in the air, but what drop should you drink? Buying bottled water at the airport may seem like a waste of money, but a new study suggests it might just be an investment in your health. A ...

Physicists are learning more about the bizarre behavior of 'strange metals,' which operate outside the normal rules of electricity. Physicists are learning more about the bizarre behavior of "strange ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Explore the unique properties of brass and pewter by testing a lesser-known alloy combination. Trump repeats wild Bin Laden claim that's been proven false Citgo is a crown jewel of Venezuela’s oil ...

We show how reweighting and configuration mapping algorithms can be used to efficiently optimize molecular models using thermodynamic properties at a large number of state points from molecular ...

Researchers from the University of Greifswald and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg (both in Germany) have developed a prototype experimental setup that simulates flow ...

This photo shows the upper part of the water tornado model. The acrylic glas tank has a diameter of 50 centimetres and is illuminated with LED strips. The water forms a vortex whose surface shape ...

Scientists studying “space ice” say the amorphous, low-density material’s structure is less similar to water than previous research has shown, decreasing the odds of theories involving a “panspermia” ...
