Researchers from the University of Greifswald and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg (both in ...

In short, while Saturn is less dense than Earth and could float on water if it had a rigid surface keeping it together, in reality, the planet would be pulled apart as it sank into the water world, ...

"Ice in the rest of the universe has long been considered a snapshot of liquid water – that is, a disordered arrangement ...

Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

It’s certainly possible to consume water sourced from the icy rings of Saturn, but doing so safely may require extra steps ...

Tentative detections of life-linked molecules in a star’s disk suggest planets may form with the ingredients for life already ...

Concentration polarization of ion-exchange membranes in electrodialysis units limits operational current densities to the underlimiting regime, preventing process intensification by simply increasing ...

Earth is unique in the Solar System for having an abundant supply of water, making it the only known planet with vast oceans, lakes, and rivers. But how did Earth end up with so much water? And where ...

What are the largest shapes in the Universe? The answer might be found in the most unassuming places here on Earth ...

A new laboratory experiment uses a water vortex to investigate how planets form from material in protoplanetary gas and dust ...

The findings suggest that sufficiently small particles introduced into the laboratory vortex should behave similarly to dust ...
