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

NASA research has shown that cell-like compartments called vesicles could form naturally in the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan.

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

Conor Nixon, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, says that finding vesicles on Titan would show an ...

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 ...

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

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.

'This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water.' ...

Earth has a limited amount of water, experts say. Water scarcity occurs when clean freshwater becomes less accessible in specific places.

Astronomers have spotted water that looks remarkably similar to our own in orbit around a young star 1,300 light years from Earth.

Chemical reactions on the early Earth may have formed its ocean Conditions that favor water may be common in the formation of rocky planets.

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