Ontario Lacus


A new study analyzing data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft suggests that the lake, known as Ontario Lacus, behaves most similarly to what we call a salt pan on Earth. A salt pan is formed where liquid pools were. A salt pan would be a lake or a pond if…

Enzyme Batteries


New research at Concordia University is bringing the world one step closer to cleaner energy. It is now possible to extend the length of time a battery like enzyme can store energy from seconds to hours, as shown in a study published in the Journal of …

Blowing Away a Galaxy


Galaxies change over the eons. Galaxies grow new stars from interstellar gas. The way a galaxy grows new stars is a measure of its age. Supernova explosions and the jets of a monstrous black hole are scattering outward a galaxy’s (NGC 3810) star mak…

Touchy Plants


Plants just sit and grow. They do not see, smell or touch or do they? A new study by Rice University scientists reveals that plants can use the sense of touch to fight off fungal infections and insects. The study, which will be published in the April…

The Oceans Perpetual Motion


The ocean is not a placid body of water. It is a swirling convoluted mess of current flows due to temperature differentials and winds. The swirling flows of Earth’s perpetually changing ocean come to life in a new NASA scientific visualization that c…

The Death of a Star


Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only a few million years for the most massive to trillions of years for the least massive, which is considerably longer than the age of the universe. How a star will vary. Some explode like…
