Liquid water is considered essential for life. Surprisingly, however, stable conditions that are conducive to life could exist far from any sun. A research team from the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS at LMU and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) has shown that moons around free-floating planets can keep their water oceans liquid for up to 4.3 billion years by virtue of dense hydrogen atmospheres and tidal heating—that is to say, for almost as long as Earth has existed and sufficient time for complex life to develop.

"At the edge of what we thought possible."

Household habits drive water use, and changing them through behavioral insights and real-time feedback is key to reducing shortages. Changing everyday habits, such as how people shower, report leaks, and flush toilets, could help reduce England’s projected daily water shortfall of five billion liters (about 1.32 billion gallons), according to a new University of Surrey-led [...]
