Then, experiment to address urban flooding and pollution. Grades 3 to 8, 15 min to 1 hour, Life Science & Earth Science Engineering A Fix For The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Students will consider the ...

A chemical called dimethyl sulfide popped up in an analysis of exoplanet K2-18b’s atmosphere. On Earth, it’s only made by ...

An astronomer at Columbia University is suggesting that because life emerged so soon on Earth after its formation, it may ...

Earth and Mars are mysteriously low in elements like copper and zinc, which are crucial for planetary chemistry and potentially life. A new study overturns old theories by showing that these elements ...

New JWST data strengthens earlier hints that K2-18b, a possible water world 120 light-years away, could host the chemical byproducts of life.

The study, recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, indicates that asteroid and comet impacts possibly supplied Earth with molecules essential for life-sustaining ...

The "Holy Grail" of exoplanet science, Madhusudhan said, is to find evidence of life on an Earth-like planet beyond our solar system. Madhusudhan said that our species for thousands of years has ...

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like ...

Using advanced statistical modeling, the research team sought to explore how many exoplanets scientists should observe and understand before declaring that life beyond Earth is either common or rare.

Chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide and/or dimethyl disulfide observed in atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b ...
