| Lightning strikes played a vital role in life's origins on Earth Posted: 16 Mar 2021 10:21 AM PDT Lightning strikes were just as important as meteorites in creating the perfect conditions for life to emerge on Earth, according to new research. This shows that life could develop on Earth-like planets through the same mechanism at any time if atmospheric conditions are right. |
| What happened to Mars's water? It is still trapped there Posted: 16 Mar 2021 10:21 AM PDT Analyzing Mars's atmosphere and rock record, scientists from Caltech and JPL find that an ocean's worth of water was sequestered in the crust of Mars billions of years ago. |
| 'Swarmalation' used to design active materials for self-regulating soft robots Posted: 16 Mar 2021 08:23 AM PDT Engineers have designed a system of self-oscillating flexible materials that display a distinctive mode of dynamic self-organization. In addition to exhibiting the swarmalator behavior, the component materials mutually adapt their overall shapes as they interact in a fluid-filled chamber. These systems can pave the way for fabricating collaborative, self-regulating soft robotic systems. |
| Posted: 16 Mar 2021 07:07 AM PDT One of the most profound discoveries in planetary science over the past 25 years is that worlds with oceans beneath layers of rock and ice are common in our solar system. Such worlds include the icy satellites of the giant planets, like Europa, Titan and Enceladus, and distant planets like Pluto. |
| Ancient light illuminates matter that fuels galaxy formation Posted: 16 Mar 2021 06:34 AM PDT Using light from the Big Bang, an international team has begun to unveil the material which fuels galaxy formation. |
