Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, ...

A team of researchers has produced the strongest experimental evidence yet that Earth’s iron core holds enormous quantities ...

The first clue came from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, TESS, launched in 2018 to watch large areas of sky for tiny, repeating dips in starlight. Each dip marks a transit and reveals an ...

The 748-foot-long sediment core contains a record of roughly the past 23 million years, including periods when the planet's surface temperature was hotter than it is today ...

In the whole history of Earth's climate, few events are as extreme as those that geologists call "Snowball Earth." ...

Ancient evidence of stitched leather, over 12,000 years old, has been discovered in an Oregon cave, revealing how they survived.

Earth’s core has often been described as just a giant ball of iron and nickel. Now, a new study argues that it is also a major storage place for hydrogen, possibly equivalent to dozens of oceans’ ...
