| 'Spooky action' builds a wormhole between 'entangled' quantum particles Posted: 03 Dec 2013 01:15 PM PST New research indicates a phenomenon known as "quantum entanglement" might be intrinsically linked with wormholes, hypothetical features of space-time that could link one part of the universe with another. |
| Ocean currents shape Jupiter-moon Europa's icy shell in ways critical for potential habitats Posted: 03 Dec 2013 10:38 AM PST In a finding of relevance to the search for life in our solar system, researchers have shown the subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa may have deep currents and circulation patterns with heat and energy transfers capable of sustaining biological life. The findings are based on numerical models accounting for the formation of the chaos terrains, one of Europa's most prominent surface features. |
| Hubble traces subtle signals of water on hazy worlds Posted: 03 Dec 2013 10:38 AM PST Using the powerful eye of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have found faint signatures of water in the atmospheres of five distant planets. The presence of atmospheric water was reported previously on a few exoplanets orbiting stars beyond our solar system, but this is the first study to conclusively measure and compare the profiles and intensities of these signatures on multiple worlds. |
