Scientists discovered plate anomalies in Earth's mantle using seismic wave analysis. These mysterious structures challenge tectonic theories.

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of iron. While the iron in the core has always been recognized as dominant, ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different paths ...

A frozen continent at the bottom of the world sits over the deepest dip in Earth’s gravitational pull, a feature that has persisted for roughly 70 million years. Scientists have long known about this ...

Earth's inner core, once rotating faster than the surface, has begun to slow, impacting day length by fractions of a second. This subtle shift, detected through seismic wave analysis, reveals complex ...

N. S. Lachman & Co. LLC specializes in the space and aerospace sectors, utilizing a global workforce to capitalize ...

Four astronauts recently embarked on a science expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), where they will support a ...

Rainfall is often treated as a gift of geography — a function of latitude, oceans, and atmospheric circulation. A growing body of research suggests that in the tropics, it is also a product of ...

Well, there’s a little town in southeastern Arizona where your retirement dollars stretch so far they might actually do yoga.

Simulations suggest that two enormous masses of hot rock have been involved in generating Earth’s magnetic field and giving it an irregular shape ...
