| Sustained planetwide storms may have filled lakes, rivers on ancient Mars Posted: 19 Aug 2020 04:42 PM PDT A new study is helping scientists piece together the ancient climate of Mars by revealing how much rainfall and snowmelt filled its lake beds and river valleys 3.5 billion to 4 billion years ago. |
| Biomorphic batteries could provide 72 times more energy for robots Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:41 AM PDT Like biological fat reserves store energy in animals, a new rechargeable zinc battery integrates into the structure of a robot to provide much more energy, researchers have shown. |
| The most sensitive instrument in the search for life beyond Earth Posted: 19 Aug 2020 09:07 AM PDT Researchers have developed the highly sensitive ORIGIN instrument, which can provide proof of the smallest amounts of traces of life, for future space missions. The instrument may be used on missions to the ice moons of Europa (Jupiter) and Enceladus (Saturn), for example. |
| Microbes living on air a global phenomenon Posted: 19 Aug 2020 06:47 AM PDT Researchers have found their previous discovery of bacteria living on air in Antarctica is likely a process that occurs globally, further supporting the potential existence of microbial life on alien planets. |
| Researchers explore self-healing materials Posted: 18 Aug 2020 02:54 PM PDT Researchers developed a new material that can autonomously heal in air and underwater. |
| Flies and mosquitoes beware, here comes the slingshot spider Posted: 17 Aug 2020 09:49 AM PDT Running into an unseen spiderweb in the woods can be scary enough, but what if you had to worry about a spiderweb -- and the spider -- being catapulted at you? That's what happens to insects in the Amazon rain forests of Peru, where a tiny slingshot spider launches a web -- and itself -- to catch unsuspecting flies and mosquitoes. |
