As spring is fully under way, flowers and chirping birds and all, it’s hard not to breathe a pleasurable sigh at the gorgeous sights of a world reawakened — and, perhaps, to dab at a sniffly nose as ...

Scientists have traced the origins of complex life to the breakup of the supercontinent Nuna 1.5 billion years ago. This tectonic shift reduced volcanic carbon emissions, expanded shallow seas, and ...

When it comes to space rocks slamming into Earth, two stand out. There’s the one that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago (goodbye T-rex, hello mammals!) and the one that formed Earth’s Moon.

In the mid-1990s, scientists made a discovery that shook up the understanding of life on Earth: vast reservoirs of microbes can be found beneath the planet’s surface, often buried kilometers deep in ...

The new study provides unambiguous evidence that the inner core began to decrease its speed around 2010, moving slower than the Earth's surface. USC scientists have proven that the Earth's inner core ...

Trillions of tons of hydrogen gas are likely buried in rocks and reservoirs beneath Earth's surface, but researchers aren't sure where it is yet. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

University of Southern California scientists have proven that the Earth's inner core is backtracking—slowing down—in relation to the planet's surface, as shown in new research published in Nature.
