Researchers have successfully created solar cells using simulated lunar dirt, potentially offering astronauts a sustainable energy source without needing to bring heavy materials from Earth.
New research from Brown University reveals surprising insights into why Americans at every economic level have shorter lifespans compared to Europeans.
Have you ever eaten something that made you so sick you couldn't stomach the idea of eating it again? A team of neuroscientists has discovered exactly how the brain creates these strong food aversions after just one bad experience.
A team of scientists has developed a new method to create carbon-negative materials using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This new process not only locks away CO₂ in solid form but also yields hydrogen gas, a useful clean fuel.
Scientists suggested that about 3.4 billion years ago, Mars was hit by an asteroid similar to the one that hit Earth a little over 60 million years ago. It is believed that it hit the red planet in a shallow ocean region, causing a so-called megatsunami.
NASA scientists have found some fascinating new clues in the search for life on Mars. They revealed their findings in three new papers published in the peer-reviewed journal Science
Oftentimes we see the terms comets, meteoroids, and asteroids being confused with one another. So what are they, and what is actually the difference between these objects?
Our ideas about water on planets may have been a tad too Earth-centric. Swiss researchers have recently determined that liquid water can exist for billions of years on exotic planets that we would previously have ignored.
Research published in the International Journal of Astrobiology proposes a fascinating theory where advanced extraterrestrial civilizations can travel among the stars without the need for an interstellar spaceship.
The discovery that plants can sprout in extraterrestrial soil may not only be of great importance for future space missions, but it could also have applications back here on Earth.
Future Mars missions will make astronauts susceptible to potential bone mass loss. Scientists may have found an ingenious solution to this issue with help from transgenic lettuce.
Astronomers detected the most powerful coronal mass ejection ever observed from a solar-type star. Scientists think that past, similar eruptions from our own sun may have helped shape the way Earth and Mars look today.
