How do water and hydrogen interact in planetary evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a | Space ...

It’s long been thought that tectonic plates needed to dive beneath each other to create the chemical fingerprint we see in ...

New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets.

Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth's early geological history, challenging beliefs ...

Nearly three-fourths of Earth is covered by oceans, making the planet look like a pale blue dot from space. But Japanese ...

About 4 billion years ago, Earth began to show signs of the conditions that allowed the first cells to take hold and populate ...

Scientists discovered Earth's first crust had continental chemical signatures. This challenges beliefs about when these ...

New research suggests that Earth's first crust, formed over 4.5 billion years ago, already carried the chemical traits we ...

Fluorescent cave minerals are helping scientists explore how life could survive in harsh places like Europa. Far beneath ...

The recent paper's case for green oceans in the Archaean eon starts with an observation: waters around the Japanese volcanic ...

Rethinking early Earth formation For decades, scientists have tried to identify when plate tectonics first began, marking the earliest evolution of life. The chemical signature of rocks formed in ...

Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet's history, challenging current theories about plate tectonics. Researchers have made a new discovery that ...
