The World's First Nuclear Explosion Forged an 'Impossible' Crystal
4+ mon, 1+ day ago (419+ words) We don't always get to pinpoint the exact moment the world changes....
Unexpected 'Zig-Zag' Structures Discovered in Earth's Magnetic Field
9+ mon, 2+ week ago (424+ words) A strange phenomenon thought to only exist near the Sun has been detected in Earth's magnetic field for the first time. The discovery could help scientists forecast the impact of geomagnetic storms more accurately. Physicists Emily McDougall and Matthew Argall…...
The Mystery of Intense Magnetism on The Moon Is Finally Solved
5+ mon, 4+ week ago (671+ words) A new study may have solved a long-standing mystery about the Moon's magnetism: Why do lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo missions show evidence of an intense magnetic field sometimes rivaling or exceeding that of Earth today? Considering the…...
Scientists Reveal Origins of Giant Object That Smashed Into Earth
9+ mon, 2+ week ago (616+ words) One fateful day about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized body called Theia collided with proto-Earth, turning both into a molten mess of rock and metal. Once the debris had coalesced, two distinct objects remained locked in an orbit – Earth and…...
Mysterious State of Matter Discovered Flowing Inside Earth's Core
8+ mon, 2+ week ago (704+ words) By firing tiny projectiles of iron-carbon alloy from a high-speed cannon, scientists have finally demonstrated that a weird part-solid, part-liquid-like state thought to exist inside Earth's inner core is indeed possible. This superionic state of matter would neatly explain some…...
Earth's Inner Core Could Be Full Of Extreme Hydrogen Unlike Anything on The Surface
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (364+ words) The Earth is akin to a rocky, molten-in-the-middle nesting doll – or perhaps a rotting, soft-centered onion, though the latter analogy affords our majestic planet much less dignity....
Unusual Crater in The North Sea Result of a Cosmic Collision, Study Confirms
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (631+ words) Sometime in the Middle Eocene epoch, nearly 50 million years ago, a large object hurtled through Earth's atmosphere, crashing into the North Sea between what's now Britain and northwestern Europe. The impact formed a crater 1 kilometer (about half a mile) deep…...
World's Largest 'Modern' Crater Found Hiding in Plain Sight in China
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (407+ words) Nestled on a hillside in Guangdong Province near Zhaoqing City, the Jinlin crater managed to hide in plain sight until researchers identified it as an impact structure. Only about 200 confirmed impact craters exist worldwide, making each discovery scientifically valuable. But…...
Signs of Mysterious Structures Near The Core Detected in Earth's Magnetic Field
7+ mon, 1+ week ago (948+ words) While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Information about Earth's deep interior comes mainly from geophysics and is…...
This 105-Meter Ice Core Could Explain A Bizarre Glacier Anomaly
8+ mon, 3+ week ago (789+ words) Dressed in an orange puffer jacket, Japanese scientist Yoshinori Iizuka stepped into a storage freezer to retrieve an ice core he hopes will help experts protect the world's disappearing glaciers. The fist-sized sample drilled from a mountaintop is part of…...
