A collaborative study by the University of Oxford and MIT has uncovered a 3.7-billion-year-old magnetic field record from Greenland, demonstrating that Earth’s ancient magnetic field…
The first high-precision image of a seismic fault zone transforms our knowledge of earthquakes. The idea that earthquakes release stress by a single strong quake…
An international group of researchers has successfully documented the first clear evidence of long-hypothesized catalysts involved in aerosol formation. Eighty-five percent of Earth’s atmosphere is…
Research indicates a significant increase in cosmogenic radionuclides during the Laschamps excursion, pointing to reduced geomagnetic protection and potential biosphere upheavals. Earth’s magnetic field cocoons…
There’s a reason airlines won’t let you put your laptop in your checked luggage; the lithium-ion battery poses a serious fire hazard. But why? Lithium…
New research suggests that cloud “engineering” might be more effective at cooling the climate than previously believed, due to the production of increased cloud cover….
Common causes have the potential to overturn previous understandings. Sand ripples are fascinating. They are symmetrical yet wind, which causes them, is very much not….
A new study significantly reduces uncertainty about cloud impact on global warming, finding anvil clouds less influential than expected. New analysis based on simple equations…
Scientists from China and Japan have identified unique features of the flow field in the lower mantle. Through their study of seismic anisotropy in the…
A team of scientists from EPFL and Charles University in Prague have discovered that microbial life is set to thrive in mountain streams, as a…
Saturn’s largest moon rains and snows ethane, methane, and fancier organic compounds. On the ground, accumulated chunks may calve like glaciers at the edges of…
A 400-million-year evolutionary history. Euglenoids, a unique group of single-celled protists, occupy a mysterious niche, being neither fully plant nor animal. Unlike plants that solely…
New research has uncovered the process behind the formation of unique magmatic rocks on the Moon, shedding light on their distinct composition and how they…
The East Coast of the U.S. is sinking, impacting major cities and infrastructure, with a significant population at risk. A new study calls for urgent…
Researchers from Heidelberg and Karlsruhe use stalagmite for the reconstruction of regional and global climatic history. Tree-ring data, when integrated with information from stalagmites, has…
A new report in Nature Geoscience has brought to light the challenge of air pollution levels in Africa and why international action is needed to…
Researchers from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) offer a holistic insight into applying terahertz spectroscopy to characterize oil shale. The current understanding of the oil…
