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 ...

The blobs lie at the base of Earth’s mantle, around 1,802 miles beneath Africa and the Pacific.

The primary cause was likely the microgravity itself, since that environment prevents convection—the natural movement of fluids caused by temperature or ...

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

Scientists have captured the moment a supergiant star collapses into a black hole, revealing the star's death in an incredible animation.

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 ...
