As the U.S. plans to return to the moon with the upcoming Artemis II mission, a question endures: What will future lunar explorers eat? According to new research from The University of Texas at Austin the answer might be chickpeas. Scientists have successfully grown and harvested chickpeas using simulated “moon dirt,” the first instance of this crop produced… Continue Reading Scientists Successfully Harvest Chickpeas From ‘Moon Dirt’
While Searching for the World’s Oldest Ice, Scientists Find Sediment Sneaking Under the Antarctic Ice Sheet
For decades, researchers seeking to understand global climate change have analyzed ice cores drilled deep within the Antarctic ice sheet. This ice traps chemicals and bubbles of ancient air that tell the story of how Earth’s climate has changed over time. To develop a precise climate record, researchers seek to find continuous ice that’s uninterrupted,… Continue Reading While Searching for the World’s Oldest Ice, Scientists Find Sediment Sneaking Under the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Scientists Capture Slow-Motion Earthquake in Action
Scientists for the first time have detected a slow slip earthquake in motion during the act of releasing tectonic pressure on a major fault zone at the bottom of the ocean. The slow earthquake was recorded spreading along the tsunami-generating portion of the fault off the coast of Japan, behaving like a tectonic shock absorber.… Continue Reading Scientists Capture Slow-Motion Earthquake in Action
