With a new lab-based experiment, researchers in the UK and France have recreated the characteristic cascades of energy and angular momentum that underpin key features of Earth's atmosphere. Reporting ...

NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) has successfully completed its critical space environment tests. Planned for launch to the International Space Station, AWE will study gravity waves in ...

A Gulf of Maine field experiment shows that adding sodium hydroxide to seawater can pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere ...

Using primitive meteorites called chondrites as their models, earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have performed outgassing calculations and shown that the early Earth ...

Three NASA-funded rockets are set to launch from Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska, in an experiment that seeks to reveal how auroral substorms affect the behavior and composition of ...

Scientists have performed laboratory experiments to better understand how Saturn's moon Titan can maintain its unique nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system and ...

Mars didn’t have an oxygen-rich atmosphere 3.5 billion years ago after all, according to a recent lab experiment. Minerals found on Mars in 2014 looked like proof that Mars once had an atmosphere ...
