The search for water on the Moon has captivated scientists for decades. Beyond its implications for understanding planetary ...

Researchers have unveiled new findings that reshape our understanding of the Moon's formation and Earth's early hydration.

Oxygen, for example, has eight protons. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different forms of elements, called isotopes. The recently observed type of oxygen is one ...

The researchers analyzed oxygen isotopes from 14 samples from the moon and carried out 191 measurements on minerals from Earth. Isotopes are varieties of the same element that differ only in the ...

A research team from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has discovered another piece in the puzzle of the formation of the Moon and water on Earth ...

Morgan Nunn Martinez studied lunar rocks from the 1969 Apollo 9 mission to learn about the origin of moon water. They found ...

A recent study by researchers from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research has ...

As humankind imagines living off-planet — on the moon, Mars and beyond — the question of how to sustain life revolves around the physical necessities of oxygen, food and water. We know there is water ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...
