SCIENTISTS have dug a staggering 4,160ft into the Earth’s mantle – deeper than anyone has ever drilled before. Researchers are now studying a huge chunk of rock which they say might hold clues to the origins of life on Earth. On the groundbreaking expedition in the Atlantic Ocean, scientists only planned to dig 656ft down […]

Beyond being a delicious addition to a sandwich, mayonnaise may help scientists figure out how to harness the power of nuclear fusion. Mechanical engineers at Pennsylvania's Lehigh University are, per a press release, using Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise — yes, they specified the brand — as a stand-in for plasma, the highly-charged state of matter that occurs when electrons are shed during the collision of atoms.

Scientists Say Secret to Fusion May Lie in Hellmann's Mayonnaise

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

There are literal oceans' worth of liquid water hiding out on Mars. There's just one big problem. That water is actually in Mars, at depths that are too far below the surface for us to access.



					
			

That's according to new analysis of seismic data collected by the  Mars InSight lander, for which huge reservoirs of liquid water are the best explanation. And, although that water is out of reach, it is an important piece of the strange puzzle of the aquatic history of our dry, desiccated, dusty neighbor.
"Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the...

Scientists Just Found Oceans of Liquid Water on Mars – But There's a Catch

Recent findings from the Mars InSight mission indicate that Mars may have liquid water within its crust, a revelation that enhances the planet’s potential habitability and propels the search for life. Led by Vashan Wright, the research team analyzed Marsquake data to deduce the presence of sub-surface liquid water,...

Primary school geography paints such a neat picture of the world.It tells us, for example, that there are seven continents on Earth, but the truth is far more complex.Researchers are constantly encountering lost landmasses that constitute important pieces in the puzzle of our planet’s geological past.Now, a whole new continent has been found lurking beneath the icy waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean.The discovery was made around the Davis Strait, a large stretch of water located between Canada’s Baffin Island and Greenland.The strait was formed millions of years ago when the tectonic plates between the two islands shifted, reconfiguring the...

Imagine peering inside a 520-million-year-old larva, discovering parts of the brain, internal organs, soft tissue, and nervous system preserved in stunning detail. This is precisely what a team of scientists from Britain’s Natural History Museum achieved with an extraordinary fossil unearthed in China. Insights into ancient life. This fossil,...

Seismologists measure tremors from distances up to 5000 km away. On September 16, 2023, a massive wave struck a fjord on Greenland’s east coast, leaving evidence of flooding up to 200 meters (650 feet) high in some areas. Researchers, led by Angela Carrillo Ponce from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), have analyzed seismic data from earthquake monitoring stations worldwide and uncovered another remarkable event. The megatsunami triggered a standing wave that oscillated back and forth in the narrow, uninhabited Dickson Fjord for over a week. The international team has published their findings in the journal The Seismic Records.

How would you react if you saw something deep below the surface of the ocean that you absolutely could not explain.That's the situation that researchers exploring the sea bed off the coast of Alaska found themselves in while operating a NOAA Ocean Exploration underwater craft.What were they mystified by? A single golden orb.Footage shows the object perfectly visible on the sea bed, but the vehicle was actually around two miles below the surface – so deep that light usually cannot penetrate.The bizarre orb was around 10 centimetres wide and was attached to a rock on its own, and scientists really...

The new physical model supports the planetary hypothesis. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the University of Latvia have proposed the first comprehensive physical explanation for the sun’s various activity cycles. They identify vortex-shaped currents on the sun, known as Rossby waves, as mediators between the tidal influences of Venus, Earth, and Jupiter and the sun’s magnetic activity. This research presents a consistent model for solar cycles of different lengths and offers a strong argument supporting the previously controversial planetary hypothesis. The findings have been published in the journal Solar Physics.

An exoplanet’s strange elongated, backward orbit holds clues to the formation history and future trajectories of hot Jupiters. Astronomers have identified an exoplanet with the most eccentric orbit known, characterized by its cucumber-like shape and backward motion around its star. This discovery offers insights into the formation and evolution of hot Jupiters. Key instruments such as the NEID and TESS were pivotal in observing this exoplanet, which may help understand the migration of these giant gas planets.

We often think our brains tick away time in perfect synchronization with the clocks on our walls and electronic devices. However, groundbreaking research published in the journal Current Biology provides evidence that our perception of time is not governed by an internal clock but by the number of experiences we have. This study found that changes in brain activity patterns, specifically in the anterior cingulate cortex, indicate that our brains track the passage of time based on the accumulation of experiences rather than a steady internal clock.
