A new molecule may soon enable tiny hard drives that store vastly more data. Withstanding extreme cold, it paves the way for ...

The moon is looking bright in the sky tonight, and that's for good reason. It's all down to where we are in the current lunar ...

And that makes the far side of the Moon the ideal location for a dark-age-hunting radio telescope, free from human interference and noise. Ideas abound to make this a possibility.

They estimated the water abundance at less than 1.5 micrograms per gram, on the dry end of what’s been found in samples gathered over past decades from the moon’s near side.

A NASA-funded plan to build a large radio telescope on the moon's far side is nearing final approval and could become a reality by the 2030s, researchers say. The ambitious project will help safeguard ...

The dark side of the Moon is more lumpy than the near side, and covered in large craters. The biggest is called the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA Basin), which is 2,500 kilometres in diameter. This is ...

However, no one has examined if the far side of the moon has different water quantities, until now. In a new study published in Nature, Hu and his colleagues analyzed a mantle sample brought back by ...
