Two enormous continent-sized "islands" found buried deep inside the Earth's mantle are challenging our ideas about our planet's inner workings. These unexpected regions of the Earth's innards appear to be hotter and older than other structures nearby that are known to be sunken tectonic plates,
Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could pose problems for long-distance space travel
Deeply hidden in Earth's mantle there are two huge "islands" the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht University shows that these regions are not only hotter than the surrounding graveyard of cold sunken tectonic plates,
Every day, about 48.5 tonnes of space rock hurtle towards Earth. Meteorites that fall into the ocean are never recovered. But the ones that crash on land can spark debates about legal ownership.
While OpenAI’s lobbying spending is still dwarfed by bigger tech players, the uptick comes as it and other AI companies are helping redraw the shape of AI policy. Read the full story. Forget massive steel tanks—some scientists want to make chemicals with the help of rocks deep beneath Earth’s surface.
From the flamboyant blossoms and birds of rainforests to the living rainbows of coral reefs, Earth’s surface is teeming with life. But some of its most diverse and fascinating biomes are thriving in the darkness below.
Researchers have unveiled new findings that reshape our understanding of the Moon's formation and Earth's early hydration. They discovered that the Moon likely originated from Earth's mantle, not from the collision with the protoplanet Theia as previously thought.
Scientists detected "chorus waves" resembling bird chirps over 62,000 miles from Earth. This rare discovery raises questions about Earth's magnetic field and expands understanding of space physics and wave phenomena.
"It’s about figuring out how we can keep humanity and soul in the future worlds we’re building, where nature and technology can collaborate."
Several Gulf states experienced a major snowstorm this week. Changes in global climate patterns can be connected to weird weather events.
A collection of Martian rocks could reveal details about potential past life on the Red Planet – but first NASA has to get them back to Earth.
Students were taught about different seasons, phases of the moon, and other out of this world lessons by Dunlap, who travels across the region teaching concepts in science and astronomy.
