Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

NASA Study Finds Solar Wind Could Be Key to Water Formation on the Moon
A recent study indicates that water on the lunar surface may come from the solar wind. The results suggest that other airless bodies in the solar system may also have water on their surfaces, therefore highlighting the possibility of finding such water on the surface of other such objects.

Energy Signals From Milky Way's Core Could Unveil New Type Of Dark Matter: Study
A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, where unexplained chemical reactions could be caused by a lighter form of dark matter.

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

Earth's Hidden Treasure: Mountain Of Hydrogen Could End Fossil Fuel Era, Study Finds
The discovery challenges previous beliefs that hydrogen, being a small molecule, would not accumulate in large quantities underground.

Lithium-Ion Battery Degradation Might Be Linked With Leaking Hydrogen Protons, Study Finds
Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have identified hydrogen molecules as a key factor in lithium-ion battery degradation. This discovery could lead to the development of longer-lasting batteries, which would enhance the driving range of electric vehicles and improve renewable energy storage. By addressing issues like self-discharge...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Finds Diverse Set Of Organic Molecules On Mars
Organic molecules are the key building blocks of life on Earth that are made primarily of carbon and hydrogen and often other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur.

Mars Is Losing Water Faster Than Expected, Study Claims
Researchers have claimed that Mars, the red planet is losing water more quickly than what theory as well as past observations would suggest.

NASA Telescope Spots Universe's First Molecule - Helium Hydride
Scientists believe that around 100,000 years after the big bang, helium and hydrogen combined to make a molecule called helium hydride for the first time.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx Probe Finds Signs of Water on Asteroid Bennu
OSIRIS-REx, which flew last week within a scant 19km of the asteroid Bennu some 2.25 million kilometres from Earth, found traces of hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
