Indian Researchers Develop Energy-Efficient Method to Create Glass, Could Improve Efficiency of Data Centres
Scientists from IISc, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT reveal a breakthrough with indium selenide that transforms crystalline structures to glass using significantly less energy. By passing a continuous electric current, the crystalline material experiences a “shock” that converts it to glass. The low energy requirement could help lower powe...

NASA's Study Suggests Life Could Thrive Beneath Ice in Mars
NASA's latest study proposes that meltwater beneath Mars' icy surface could sustain microbial life. Researchers utilised advanced computer modelling to demonstrate that sunlight can penetrate water ice enough to allow photosynthesis in shallow meltwater pools. These pools, which may form in the Martian tropics, could provide a protective environmen...

Dwarf Planet Ceres Once Hosted a Muddy Ocean Below Its Icy Surface
Recent research indicates that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, likely harboured a muddy ocean beneath its icy crust. Advanced computer simulations suggest that its surface features and gravity measurements point to a past rich in ice. With its proximity to Earth, Ceres presents a promising target for further exploration, making it t...
