2+ day, 19+ hour ago   (286+ words) Gondwana is an ancient continent which scientists have now confirmed was a supercontinent that spread over 80 per cent of the landmass on Earth. They found 25,000 ancient rocks, and AI helped them determine that they belonged to Gondwana 500 million years ago....

3+ day, 14+ hour ago   (560+ words) The long-lost supercontinent Gondwana has finally been pieced together after 550 million years. For years, scientists have known that the ancient landmass included present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. However, a new study suggests that Gondwana was…...

3+ day, 18+ hour ago   (373+ words) Between 2021 and 2023, Antarctica’s ice mass unexpectedly increased by about 695 billion metric tons. According to scientists, this is the largest increase in the last two decades, but the trend is likely temporary. The most noticeable increase occurred in East Antarctica and…...

4+ day, 8+ hour ago   (832+ words) A Nature study links an exceptional Antarctic mass gain to tropical warmth that redirected moisture towards East Antarctica, temporarily interrupting a longer-term decline. By Life Signs · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit Antarctica’s ice sheet gained about…...

6+ day, 10+ hour ago   (753+ words) A persistent patch of unusually warm tropical ocean helped intensify snowfall over East Antarctica, contributing to a temporary net ice sheet mass gain of about 695 billion tons, according to a new study published in Nature on August 19. A Remarkable Antarctic…...

1+ week, 5+ hour ago   (365+ words) New data on the formation of Earth’s oldest and largest ice sheet may help solve a long-standing mystery surrounding the southernmost continent, according to the website “The Debrief.” About 34 million years ago, the Antarctic ice sheet began to form—during…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (593+ words) Antarctica was blanketed in a massive ice sheet roughly 34 million years ago — while the Arctic remained largely ice-free until just five million years ago. That’s a 30-million-year gap, and it has puzzled climate scientists for decades. The world back then…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (1134+ words) Although our planet's deep layers are totally inaccessible, scientists can use the seismic waves from powerful earthquakes to probe the hidden depths. Now, Chinese scientists have uncovered structures sitting on the boundary between the viscous mantle and the liquid outer…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (762+ words) Scientists have identified six previously unknown regions deep inside Earth that may reveal new clues about the planet’s hidden dynamics. Scientists have identified six previously unknown regions deep inside Earth’s lower mantle, revealing hidden variations in the planet’s deepest interior…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago   (148+ words) For the first time, scientists have captured atmospheric samples from when our ancestors first walked upright, frozen in ice that predates any previous climate record by half a million years.
