What if we could create metal made of water? Pure water itself is almost perfect as an insulator. Water found naturally in the world is …
Rainwater is an important part of our planet’s ecosystem, and it helps fuel access to drinking water in many places. However, a new study suggests …
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have created a water harvesting gel capable of pulling buckets of water out of thin air. What …
Just like the foods we see recalled all the time, water can harbor dangerous microorganisms that are harmful to humans. That’s the case with one …
If there’s one thing to take from Denis Villeneuve’s excellent Dune reboot, it’s how important water is when you don’t have an abundance of it. …
Humans have been living in space for years, but it took endless research and planning to make that possible. Everything we take for granted on …
The atmosphere of Mars is thin and, compared to Earth, barely even there at all, but it can still teach us about the history of …
The Moon has water ice hiding near its poles, which is something that is a fairly recent discovery. The ice could hold clues about where …
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, is one of the few places in our solar system where we might be able to find life. New research …
NASA announced the confirmation of water on the lunar surface. The discovery is big, but scientists had believed that there was water trapped within the …
The asteroid known as Bennu has revealed some tantalizing secrets to NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Some rocks and surface features of the asteroid appear to indicate …
Researchers think they’ve spotted signatures of liquid water hiding out beneath the surface of Mars. The south pole in particular is apparently a hot spot …
Mars had vast rivers of flowing water for tens of thousands of years, scientists now say. The discovery is based on images sent back by …
Ancient Mars may have received its wealth of water from a couple of major sources, new research suggests. Studying the content of Martian meteorites that …
For scientists studying Jupiter, there’s plenty to see. The gas giant has a wealth of personality, and its swirling storms and colorful streams of gas …
When NASA eventually sends humans to Mars — a mission that might not take place for another decade or more — there’s a good chance …
In the ongoing search for potentially habitable worlds outside of our own solar system, there are a number of things that astronomers are looking for. …
There’s ice on the Moon. Various research efforts have shown this to be the case, and scientists are doing their best to find out exactly …
NASA’s Curiosity rover is currently cruising around an area of Mars known as the Gale Crater. It’s a massive impact site that has existed for …
In the ongoing search for life beyond Earth, astronomers studying distant exoplanets are looking for a few key ingredients. For starters, a planet has to …
When NASA and other space agencies from around the world eventually send humans back to the Moon in the coming decades they’ll likely be doing …
Mars as we know it today is a mostly dry, dusty place with a few pockets of ice in remote regions. It’s barren and we’re …
Like many of the larger bodies in our solar system, Saturn’s massive moon Titan has long been of interest to astronomers due to its unique …
Nothing would excite astronomers more than to discover a planet somewhere out there with obvious signs of life, but it just hasn’t happened yet. Earth, …
The Moon apparently isn’t nearly as dry as scientists once thought. That’s the message from researchers using data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to detect …
Imaging the possibility of life one existing on the surface of Mars got a whole lot easier once scientists realized the planet was once covered …
