New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

From a digital vantage point in orbit, scientists have mapped every building on Earth—2.75 billion structures, all in 3D.

The Earth's tail is known as the "magnetotail". Though it is generally a permanent feature, it is at the whims of the solar ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t ...

At a busy street crossing, people wait for the signal to change. When one person steps out first, others soon follow. Scientists in Amsterdam have found that this same kind of behavior happens at a ...

Earth's shape is an oblate spheroid, slightly bulging at the equator due to its rotation, resulting in a significant difference in distance from the Earth's center between the equator and poles. This ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

University of Alberta geochemists have discovered a missing piece to one of the great mysteries of science—the origin of life ...

Earth’s climate is a vastly complex system on a grand scale. On a microscopic level, so is the complicated physics of atoms and molecules found within materials. The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics knits ...
