Low sulfide concentration in Mercury"s smooth plains inhibits geomorphic hollows
A probe on Mercury used for the purpose of "surface-space-environment-geochemistry-and-ranging" abbreviated as the MESSENGER mission to Mercury, resulted in the discovery of geological structures known as hollows. Such landforms are quintessentially.....»»
Worry and suspicion reign as once-dry Tulare Lake drowns California farmland
Sixth Avenue used to cut through miles of farmland. Now, the road has disappeared under muddy water, its path marked by sodden telephone poles that protrude from the swelling lake. Water laps just below the windows of a lone farmhouse that sits along.....»»

Like a flexible Lego railway track: How stable microtubules form within cells
Like poles support a tent, microtubules—hollow cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein—support eukaryotic cells. But microtubules provide more than just mechanical strength; they help prepare the cell for cell division and migration and wo.....»»
Layering history shows how water and carbon dioxide have moved across Mars
Mars' south polar layered deposits of H2O and CO2 ice record its climate history. A new study links the long-term global movement of Mars' water from midlatitude to pole to a function of the planet's orbital configuration with H2O ice deposition decr.....»»
India"s lithium discovery comes with environmental costs
The discovery of vast lithium deposits in the Indian territory of Jammu and Kashmir, hailed as a win for the country's clean energy transition, comes at a price for communities in the Himalayan region, say villagers and environmental scientists......»»

Astronomers come closer to understanding how Mercury formed
Simulations of the formation of the solar system have been largely successful. They are able to replicate the positions of all the major planets along with their orbital parameters. But current simulations have an extreme amount of difficulty getting.....»»
Mercury helps to detail Earth"s most massive extinction event
The Latest Permian Mass Extinction (LPME) was the largest extinction in Earth's history to date, killing between 80–90% of life on the planet, though finding definitive evidence for what caused the dramatic changes in climate has eluded experts......»»
A new way to peer into the permanently shadowed craters on the moon, searching for deposits of water ice
Not all flashlights are created equal. Some are stronger, consume more power, or have features such as blinking or strobes. Some aren't even meant for humans, such as a new project that recently received funding from a NASA Institute for Advanced Con.....»»
