Medicine & TechnologyA new study presented at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference suggests that massive space rocks have been hitting early Earth periodically, and the impacts might have something to do with the birth of life.
Researchers from NYU discovered a perceivable Earth's 'Heartbeat' coincides with major mass extinction events over the past 600 years that are hypothesized to be caused by the Earth's movement throughout the galaxy or dark matter absorption.
Researchers developed computer models based on seismic waves data and elemental physics of iron to discover that the Earth's inner core comprising of solid iron crystal lattice grows asymmetrically.
Authorities are investigating a massive sinkhole that appeared in a farmer's field in Mexico's Puebla state. The hole has rapidly expanded and is threatening to swallow a nearby house.
Phosphorous, a universal chemical element needed to sustain life, was long thought to come from meteorites during the Earth's early days. However, a new study shows that ancient lightning strikes may have had the prebiotics to life.
A team of geologists and materials scientists from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Erlangen, Germany, has found a new way of finding previously untapped rare earth deposits.
Scientists explain that despite old beliefs, hematite dates back to the Late Triassic epoch and has a significant role in why rocks turn red, much like rocks in New Jersey and the American Southwest.
