Water vapor detected on Mars can help answer whether the Red Planet was once habitable
An international team of researchers has detected water vapor rising from Mars, offering new clues as to whether the Red Planet was once home to aliens. The researchers made the discovery using an instrument called the Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery (NOMAD), which is aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter jointly operated by the European Space […]

Diamonds need small electric fields to crystallize, according to study
A new study published in the journal Science Advances shows that high heat and pressures are not enough to produce diamonds – these majestic crystals may also need small electric fields to crystallize. As part of their study, German and Russian researchers mimicked conditions in the mantle, the layer beneath Earth’s crust where most diamonds are thought to form. By doing […]

Scientists produce methane-based rocket fuel using resources found on Mars
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) have figured out how to produce rocket fuel using only portable materials and resources that can be sourced from Mars. The scientists developed a one-step process that requires only zinc, a mineral found on the red planet, and a small easy-to-carry device to catalyze carbon dioxide and produce methane-based fuel. This method […]

Study on Mars suggests water has been present on rocky planets from the start
A recent study published in the journal Science Advances suggests that water may have emerged naturally on rocky planets instead of originating from asteroids or comets. Researchers from France, Denmark and Japan studied a meteorite from Mars nearly as old as the solar system. Based on the rock fragments that constitute the meteorite, the researchers found that water, […]

Study: Earth’s oxygen may have been rusting the moon for billions of years
American scientists suggest that the high latitudes of the moon’s surface may have been rusting for billions of years after detecting chemical signatures of hematite, a common product of the rusting of iron. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers said that the solar wind likely transported oxygen from Earth to the moon, facilitating the […]

Scientists develop white paint that keeps surfaces up to 18 degrees cooler
Researchers from the U.S. and China have developed a white paint that could keep surfaces up to 18 degrees cooler than the surrounding temperatures. In a study published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, the researchers said that the cooling paint absorbs almost no amount of solar energy and is better than similar products at reflecting sunlight. […]

A truly versatile crop: HEMP batteries can be a more powerful alternative to graphene or lithium batteries
Hemp, the non-psychoactive variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, may soon power a smart device near you. Researchers say that not only can hemp be used to power devices, but it may also be a more powerful alternative to lithium and graphene batteries. Hemp-based nanosheet better than graphene In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, Canadian researchers […]

Stunning NASA discoveries suggest Ceres is an ocean world percolating with briny waters from its interior
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has unveiled what it discovered about Ceres in a recent mission, shedding new light on the evolution of the dwarf planet and opening new curiosities. In 2016, NASA’s Dawn spacecraft went into an extended mission to probe Ceres, the biggest object in the asteroid belt and the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. […]
