Astronomers have detected doubly-deuterated water (heavy water) in a young star's planet-forming disk, indicating that this water is older than the star itself and likely inherited from interstellar clouds, which has implications for the origins of water on planets including Earth.
Scientists detected heavy water in a planet-forming disk around the young star V883 Orionis, providing evidence that this water predates the star itself and originated in the cold molecular cloud that formed the star, offering insights into the journey of water in planetary systems.
Scientists have detected heavy water in a protoplanetary disk around the star V883 Orionis, providing the first direct evidence that water in planet-forming regions may be older than the star itself, suggesting Earth's water could be even older than the Sun.
Scientists in Japan discovered that when confined to tiny spaces, water can simultaneously exhibit properties of both a solid and a liquid, a state called premelting, especially observed in heavy water within nanostructures, revealing new insights into water's complex behavior and potential applications.
