In the late 1970s, a discovery unlike any other was made by a volunteer working in the Ohio State University Radio Observatory. This discovery remains the strongest possible evidence of life beyond ...

Recently, a team of researchers led by Prof. DU Zhixue from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of ...

A Rutgers researcher and collaborators have linked unusual geological anomalies to Earth’s molten origins and its unique habitability. For many years, researchers have struggled to understand two ...

Researchers have discovered chemical fingerprints of Earth's earliest incarnation, preserved in ancient mantle rocks. A unique imbalance in potassium isotopes points to remnants of “proto Earth” ...

D heat maps show how deep temperature patterns under Greenland help explain uneven ice loss and land motion, improving future ...

South African diamonds have revealed nickel-rich metallic inclusions, offering the first direct evidence of reactions predicted to occur deep in Earth’s mantle. The study shows how oxidized melts ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

Deep beneath the ocean's surface lies Earth's largest carbon reservoir: marine sediments that have accumulated organic matter over millions of years. Long assumed to be permanently "locked away," this ...

Some 4.6 billion years ago, Earth was nothing like the gentle blue planet we know today. Frequent and violent celestial ...
