Water on Ancient Mars? New Study Challenges the Cold Planet Theory
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that early Mars was surprisingly wet, featuring extensive networks of lakes and river basins shaped by rainfall and snowfall. This challenges long-held views of a predominantly cold and icy ancient Mars. Despite current climate models struggling to explain sustained liquid water on the Red Pl...

Shape-Recovering Liquid Accidentally Created by Student, Challenges the Law of Thermodynamics
Upon blending the oil, water, and nickel mixture, a shape-recovering liquid, which consistently returns to the shape of a Grecian urn, was formed. It defies the law of thermodynamics. Further investigations revealed that this strange behaviour of the particles is due to the magnetic field of the particles and not a violation of the law of thermodyn...

NASA Curiosity Rover Potentially Deciphers Mars’ Missing Carbonate Mystery
NASA’s Curiosity rover potentially ended the mystery of the ancient atmosphere and missing carbonates. The research uncovers the potential reasons behind the temperature of the planet Mars and how it has supported the liquid water on the planet. Explore the findings and the discoveries made by NASA’s Curiosity rover.

New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars
Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...

New Research Reveals Mars’ Red Colour Linked to Ancient Water Presence
A recent study suggests that Mars’ red hue originates from ferrihydrite, an iron oxide that forms in water-rich environments. Scientists recreated Martian dust in labs and found that the mineral remained stable despite the planet’s dry conditions. Data from orbiting spacecraft and rovers confirm this discovery, reshaping theories about Mars’ ...

Perseverance Rover Examines Serpentine Lake on Mars, Seeking Clues on Past Water Presence
NASA’s Perseverance rover has closely studied the rock formation known as Serpentine Lake on Mars, which reveals serpentine minerals that typically form in water-rich environments. The analysis aims to uncover clues about Mars' geological history and potential past habitability. Despite challenges in extracting samples from other sites, such as C...

Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars, Expanding Habitability Timeline
Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds. Scientists suggest the findings indicate Mars once had a denser atmosphere, which allowed liquid water to exist longer than previously believed. This disco...

Potentially Habitable "Super-Earth" Discovered Just 20 Light-Years Away
Scientists believe the exoplanet HD 20794 d, six times the mass of Earth, could harbour liquid water on its surface.

Newly Confirmed Super-Earth HD 20794 d May Support Life in Habitable Zone
A super-Earth, HD 20794 d, has been confirmed within a habitable zone 20 light years from Earth. The planet, first detected in 2022, has a mass six times that of Earth and orbits a sun-like star. Although its elliptical orbit affects temperature stability, its potential to sustain liquid water makes it a key target for upcoming space missions. Scie...

New Research Suggests Mars Experienced Warm and Cold Periods Affecting Liquid Water
New research from Harvard University suggests that Mars experienced alternating warm and cold periods billions of years ago, affecting its climate and ability to sustain liquid water. These fluctuations, which lasted up to 100,000 years, may have influenced the planet’s potential for life. The study highlights the role of hydrogen in trapping hea...

Bennu Asteroid Sample Reveals Organic Compounds That May Hint at Life Beyond Earth
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has delivered a sample from asteroid Bennu, revealing amino acids, nucleobases, ammonia, and minerals formed in saltwater. These organic compounds, vital to life, suggest that the building blocks for life might have existed in other regions of the early solar system. The discovery of evaporite minerals, including halite ...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

JUNO Neutrino Detector Nears Completion, Set to Begin Operations in 2025
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), located 700 metres below ground in China, is set to begin operations in summer 2025. Designed as the world’s largest neutrino detector, JUNO aims to determine the heaviest among the three neutrino types. The core of the detector consists of a 35-metre-wide acrylic sphere containing 20,000 metr...

NASA's Dawn Mission Unveils Insights into Vesta’s Mysterious Gullies Using Lab Simulations
NASA’s Dawn mission to the asteroid Vesta revealed mysterious gullies on its surface. New lab experiments, simulating Vesta's harsh vacuum conditions, suggest that liquid water, possibly briny, could have flowed briefly and carved these channels. These findings challenge existing theories about liquid stability on airless bodies and provide insig...
