Investigators have recently taken a vested interest in determining the precise combination of factors that make certain individuals more prone to ensure strenuous physical activity better than others. In upcoming studies, research teams plan to investigate the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system and the mus... |

Europa is perhaps the most famous moon of Jupiter, and for good reason. Data sent back years ago by the Galileo spacecraft hinted at the fact that the small world might in fact be covered in a liquid ocean, although it could be buried as deep as 100 kilometers or more under a thick ice sheet. Still, the prospect of l... |

It would appear that human physical performance is directly influenced by the individuals' state of mind, and, most importantly, by mental fatigue, the conclusion of a new scientific study reveals. The research left investigators puzzled, because they learned that no matter what a person's limits were teste... |

Lake Bonney, an underground lake in the Antarctica, encased in 15 feet (approx 5 meters) of solid ice, was the place where NASA's Environmentally Non-Disturbing Under-ice Robotic Antarctic Explorer (ENDURANCE) passed its designated tests, which are among the last it will undergo before leaving Earth for good and... |

The Environmentally Non-Disturbing Under-ice Robotic ANtarctiC Explorer (ENDURANCE) is a submarine device financed by NASA and designed by William Stone, the president of Stone Aerospace Corporation in Austin, Texas. It is conceived in order to explore otherwise unreachable, tremendously cold waters under thick layer... |

Sounds too good to be true? Not quite. Researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have recently identified two signaling pathways that can be activated through drugs in order to increase endurance. Both pathways are naturally activated through exercise, but the effects of a workout session can be mimi... |

Jupiter's natural satellite Europa, may be the only body in the solar system, except Earth, to have a liquid water ocean inside which life could have appeared and evolved. In order to study the remote satellite, scientists have designed a probe similar to a submarine, which will be deployed to Jupiter's moo... |

A marathon is like a warm-up exercise for some animal species. Their endurance capacities can amaze, like they would be driven by engines. Now, a new record for endurance has been tracked in four bar-tailed godwits for a non-stop flight of over 10,000km (6,000 mi) from New Zealand to the Yellow Sea (eastern China).Th... |
