In the search for habitable exoplanets, atmospheric conditions play a key role in determining if a planet can sustain liquid water. Suitable candidates often sit in the "Goldilocks zone," a distance ...

Assistant Professor Xinting Yu from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) is one of the two recipients of the 2025 Harold C. Urey Prize.

That raises the possibility that the TRAPPIST-1e exoplanet could also have liquid water and therefore support life.
