Experts announce that one of the most likely reasons for which the Moon contains such large amounts of water and ice is that comets slammed into its surface billions of years ago. This allowed the chemical to accumulate, and get stored at the most suitable locations on the lunar surface. According to the new data, ... |

Astronomers and astrophysicists have for a long time known that the Moon is home to a particular type of nitrogen. The isotopes that can be found in the lunar soils and dust have little in common with the chemical that makes up a vast portion of Earth's atmosphere, or to the element that can be found in other lo... |

More in-depth research on the impact of free radicals and isotopes on aging performed by Russian biochemist Mikhail Shchepinov provided the grounds for a company called Retrotope, formed in collaboration with other heavy-weight scientists, that aims to find a way to slow down aging. Special heavy water could be the a... |

The experiment conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, designed to measure vibrations that occur during the slide of two materials on each other's surface, demonstrate that heavier elements planted on the surface of an object can reduce the force of friction and loss of energy through this process.Scientis... |
