Presence of microbes on Earth’s driest desert hints at possibility of life on Mars
A study published in Scientific Reports suggests that Mars was likely habitable for in the past and may even be able to host life to this day. An international team of researchers found a diverse community of microbial life a foot below the Atacama desert in South America. The desert is known as the driest non-polar region on Earth and therefore […]

Longest erupting supervolcanoes spewed lava for over 30 million years – study
A chain of supervolcanoes on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian ocean erupted continuously for 30 million years, according to a study published in the journal Geology. Researchers from Curtin University and the University of Tasmania in Australia, as well as Uppsala University in Sweden, said that the supervolcanoes were fueled by a “magma conveyor belt.” This acted […]

Mars likely had water as early as 4.4 billion years ago, researchers say
Experts say that Mars most likely had water as early as 4.4 billion years ago, thanks to data from an ancient Martian meteorite discovered in northwestern Africa. In a recent study published in Science Advances, an international team of researchers revealed that certain minerals in meteorite NWA 7533 were oxidized, indicating that water was present during impact. According […]

NASA: At least 300 million exoplanets in the Milky Way may be habitable
Researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) estimate that at least 300 million planets in the Milky Way galaxy may be able to support life. The estimate is based on a conservative assumption that seven percent of the sun-like stars in the galaxy foster conditions that are hospitable to life. The researchers said that there might be […]

Researchers say planet between Saturn and Uranus got “kicked out” of the solar system
A recent study published in the journal Icarus suggests that the solar system likely had an extra planet located between Saturn and Uranus. Researchers from the U.S. and France ran simulations of the solar system’s evolution and found that a giant icy planet might have influenced Neptune and Uranus’s current positions. However, the planet got kicked out […]

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 […]

MOON HARVEST: Researchers successfully harvest crops from Mars and Moon soil simulants developed by NASA
A study published in the journal Open Agriculture suggests that Mars and the moon may be able to support crops and yield viable seeds. Researchers from Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands have successfully grown and harvested crops from Mars and moon soil simulants. These soil simulants were developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and […]

Researchers discover 45 potentially habitable exoplanets
Researchers from the Lulea University of Technology in Sweden have discovered 45 distant planets that may be capable of hosting life. In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A, the researchers said that these exoplanets may possess Earth-like atmospheres and may be able to maintain stable liquid water. With several active and planned sky surveys, the […]

UK scientists achieve much-awaited “first plasma” in a bid to produce clean energy via fusion reaction
The promise of a cleaner, more abundant supply of energy gets a huge lift as scientists from the Culham Center for Fusion Energy in the U.K. achieved “first plasma” using the experimental fusion reactor, Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) Upgrade. The scientists powered the MAST Upgrade on Oct. 29 after seven years of development. For the first […]

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. […]
