Scientists successfully observed atomic oxygen in water persisting for tens of microseconds and penetrating hundreds of micrometers, using advanced laser techniques, challenging previous assumptions about its reactivity and transport in liquids, and prompting a reevaluation of existing models.
A large butterfly-shaped impact crater on Mars, created by a low-angle asteroid collision, shows signs of having been influenced by water, providing insights into the planet's watery past and impact history.
NASA's Perseverance rover discovered light-colored, kaolinite-rich rocks on Mars, suggesting the planet once had a tropical, rainy climate with water environments similar to Earth's, raising the possibility that Mars could have supported life in the past.
Researchers have discovered that on Saturn's moon Titan, polar and nonpolar molecules like water and oil can mix through a process called intercalation, challenging the traditional 'like dissolves like' rule in chemistry. This finding suggests the potential for exotic chemical structures and reactions in Titan's environment, which could have implications for understanding prebiotic chemistry and the moon's geology.
The article highlights the increasing pressure on Europe's water resources due to pollution, droughts, and floods, emphasizing the importance of ecosystem protection and better wastewater management through a series of reports and debates by Euronews.
Scientists have created a new phase of ice, called XXI, that forms at room temperature under extreme pressure, revealing the complex variety of water's solid states and potentially explaining the composition of icy moons.
Scientists have discovered a new phase of ice, called ice XXI, formed by rapidly compressing water at room temperature, revealing new insights into ice's diverse crystalline structures and potential implications for understanding icy moons.
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.
A reanalysis of 1970s Pioneer Venus data suggests Venus's clouds contain mostly water bound in hydrates, challenging the previous belief that they are primarily sulfuric acid, which has significant implications for the possibility of life in Venus's clouds.
Reanalysis of 1970s Pioneer Venus data reveals Venus' clouds are primarily composed of water bound in hydrates, challenging previous beliefs that they were mainly sulfuric acid, which has significant implications for the possibility of life in Venus' clouds.
Scientists analyzing samples from asteroid Ryugu found evidence that liquid water once flowed through its interior, suggesting a more prolonged presence of water in asteroids than previously thought, which could have implications for Earth's water origins.
Scientists found evidence suggesting that the asteroid Ryugu once contained flowing water billions of years after its formation, challenging previous beliefs about water's longevity in space and implying that water-rich asteroids could have contributed significantly to Earth's oceans.
New research suggests that the asteroid Ryugu may have once contained flowing liquid water billions of years after its formation, challenging previous beliefs that water only existed in asteroids during the early solar system. Microscopic analysis of samples indicates that water persisted much longer than expected, possibly due to a collision heating the asteroid, which has implications for understanding how Earth and other planets acquired water.
Cardiologists recommend replacing fruit juice with water for better heart health, as water supports efficient blood circulation and reduces the risks associated with high sugar intake from juices, which can lead to weight gain, inflammation, and increased cardiovascular risk.
Scientists at Yale have for the first time precisely measured the time it takes for protons to move through a small chain of water molecules, using a specialized mass spectrometer, providing new benchmarks for understanding proton transfer in chemistry.
