"If tire wear particles alter the composition of these biofilms, it affects the entire river system," study leader and PhD candidate Dana Bludau said, according to Phys.org. The outlet stated that, ...

Earth is far from a static place. That's true in the present, but it's even more apparent when you look to the past, as Earth has changes quite a bit over time.

Earth scientists often face huge challenges when researching Earth's history: many significant events occurred such a long time ago that there is little direct evidence available. Consequently, ...

Changes in rock formations from before and after the mass extinction event 66 million years ago may reflect how dinosaurs acted as ecosystem engineers, shaping vegetation and even the meandering of ri ...

Seismic studies reveal Mars may have a solid inner core. The result deepens knowledge of its evolution and lost magnetic field. Researchers have determined that Mars shares a structural similarity ...

The Venus Orbiter will carry sophisticated instruments, each designed for specific tasks such as the S-band Synthetic Aperture Radar. This advanced radar system will create detailed maps of Venus's ...

Analysis by researchers at the University of Bern suggests that water and other volatile compounds arrived on Earth from outer space—specifically via a collision with a Mars-sized planet billions of ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected witness to Earth’s distant past: tiny iron oxide stones called ooids. These mineral snowballs lock away traces of ancient carbon, revealing that oceans between ...

A new study reveals ancient oceans over 1,000–541 million years ago stored 90–99% less carbon than assumed, offering scientific insights into life’s early evolution.

Scientists found rare glass fragments in Australia. These ananguites reveal a massive ancient asteroid impact. The collision occurred millions of year ...

New fossil research shows how human impacts, particularly through the rise of agriculture and livestock, have disrupted natural mammal communities as profoundly as the Ice Age extinctions.
