Trapped in a gravitational push and pull between Jupiter and other Jovian moons, Io is constantly being stretched and ...

Jupiter's moon Io stands alone among the solar system's moons. It has more than 400 active volcanoes, and its surface is home ...

Scientists have sequenced the genome of the microorganism Silicibacter pomeroyi, a member of an abundant group of marine bacteria known to impact the Earth’s ecosystem by releasing and consuming ...

Scientists may be a step closer to discovering the identity of a mystery ingredient in the opaque yellow clouds of Venus, after novel computational techniques revealed new chemical reactions in the ...

High in the atmosphere of Venus, a swirl of sulfur-containing clouds blankets the planet. Dark spots in these clouds correspond with areas of high ultraviolet light absorption, but researchers have ...

Scientists using new computational methods have come up with a new insight into the potential workings of the complex atmosphere of Venus. Venus is shrouded in thick clouds made up mostly of sulfuric ...

Lithium-sulfur batteries could be the energy storage devices of the future, if they can get past a chemical phenomenon that reduces their endurance. Drexel researchers have reported a method for ...

Sulfur molecules come in many forms called allotropes, from S2 up to S8. The subscript indicates the number of S atoms in the allotrope. We are proposing here a new pathway to S2 formation. With S2 ...
