Scientists at Penn State University have identified that microplastics present in the atmosphere could be influencing the Earth's climate. A study published in Environmental Science and Technology: Air reveals that…
A close encounter between Earth and asteroid 99942 Apophis is expected to take place in April 2029. Named after an ancient Egyptian deity associated with darkness and disorder, Apophis will…
A faint electric field has been detected in Earth's atmosphere, confirming a theory that scientists have held for decades. This ambipolar electric field, though weak at just 0.55 volts, could…
A supernova, an explosive end to a star's life cycle, has the potential to impact planets in its proximity, including Earth. If a star were to go supernova within close…
In the event of human extinction due to war or climate change, octopuses have been identified as potential rulers of Earth, according to leading scientists. Their intelligence, dexterity, and adaptability…
New research has uncovered that the Ninetyeast Ridge, a 5,000-kilometre-long underwater mountain range in the Indian Ocean, was shaped by a moving hotspot rather than a stationary one. The study,…
A significant portion of Earth's biodiversity faces extinction by the end of the century if current greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, according to findings published in Science on December 5.…
Recent research has uncovered unusual structures hidden deep within Earth's mantle that have left scientists puzzled. These anomalies, resembling subducted crustal slabs, have been identified through advanced imaging techniques. Found…
Research indicates that Earth's solid inner core, a metal sphere encased within the molten outer core, could be undergoing changes in both rotation and surface structure. Studies involving seismic waves…
A landmark global study, published in Science Advances, has revealed the extraordinary diversity of microbial life thriving deep below Earth's surface. Conducted by a team led by Emil Ruff, Associate…
