White dwarf stars could host habitable planets. Fast planetary rotation reduces cloud cover, keeping surface temperatures stable.

Scientists believe the exoplanet HD 20794 d, six times the mass of Earth, could harbour liquid water on its surface.

"With its location in a habitable zone and relatively close proximity to Earth, this planet could play a pivotal ... search for biosignatures indicating potential life," Cretignier said.

An international team has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby sun-like star.

Scientists have long overlooked white dwarfs as hosts for habitable exoplanets, assuming their lack of fusion would make life ...

Is Earth really exceptional?  A new book seems to reaffirm that notion.  But given the right conditions, primitive life may be a mere byproduct of biophysics.

We often forget how wonderful it is that life exists, and what a special and unique phenomenon it is. As far as we know, ours ...

Astronomers have discovered HD 20794 d, a potential Earth-like exoplanet just 20 light-years away. With a habitable zone ...

The Dynamically Stable Large Space Structures via Architected Metamaterials was granted a NIAC award by NASA at the beginning ...

Astronomers have identified sulfur as a potentially crucial indicator in narrowing the search for life on other planets. While sulfur itself is not necessarily an indication of habitability, ...

Scientists have decoded the three-dimensional atmospheric structure of exoplanet WASP-121b, discovering three distinct layers with unique chemical compositions. This hot gas planet, located 900 ...
