Scientists had assumed that the ice in space was purely amorphous, but new experiments show it can have a partly crystalline ...

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it ...

A new series of experiments has shown that the mysterious "E-prime layer," which surrounds Earth's outer core, is created by water that leaks deep into our planet's interior.

The construction of thousands of dams since 1835 has caused Earth's poles to wobble, new research suggests.Scientists found ...

Water is at the center of one of the enduring questions about how life first formed on Earth r. More specifically, where did the very first water molecules form, and how?

High-energy electrons from Earth’s magnetic field act like solar wind protons to help form water on the Moon. The Moon interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, a key piece in understanding water ...

With permutations of temperature and pressure outside what generally occurs on Earth, water molecules can be pushed into other crystal structures. Scientists now know of 20 crystalline forms of water.

"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, ...

Essentially, the amino acids need to get "dry" in order to form a protein. Considering that Earth before life was covered in water, this was a big problem for making the proteins essential to life.

Water may be generated on the moon as the result of high-energy electrons bombarding the lunar surface as it passes through Earth’s magnetic tail.

Scientists have discovered where Earth's water comes from, and say that it wasn't brought to the planet by asteroid impacts after all.
