Carbon super-Earths
(Preview)
Giant super-earths made of diamond are possible A planet made of diamonds may sound lovely, but you wouldn't want to live there. A new study suggests that some stars in the Milky Way could harbour "carbon super-Earths" - giant terrestrial planets that contain up to 50 percent diamond. Bu...

Earth Similarity Index
(Preview)
The search for life across interstellar space will still not be easy, and even the most advanced telescope on the drawing boards will have to work hard to suss it out, so it will be key to choose the best possible targets. That's the reasoning behind a new paper in the journal Astrobiology in which envir...
