Venus, our planetary neighbor, displays strange geological formations on its surface in the shape of coronae that have ...

The current Martian mantle contains a multitude of heterogeneous fragments of kilometer-scale sizes. These heterogeneities are believed to be the result of differentiation processes dating back ...

It’s especially puzzling since Venus is a terrestrial world much like Earth, so much so that it’s considered to be our planet’s “twin,” at nearly the same size and density. We’re also neighbors, ...

I think something just changed in Massachusetts, almost accidentally, but still kind of important, which is that we just released a better license plate. Have you seen them? They’re blue, a bright ...

The closest technological species to us in the Milky Way galaxy could be 33,000 light years away and their civilization would have to be at least 280,000 years, and possibly millions of years, old if ...

A study by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, published today in the journal ‘Nature Geosciences’, sheds new light on longstanding questions over why ‘very large earthquakes’ have ...

Far beneath the ocean's surface, where mountain belts rise and ancient oceanic crust lies hidden, a long-lost tectonic plate has been brought back into view. In one of Earth's most tectonically ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world's most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

Seismic waves from earthquakes have always offered a window into Earth’s hidden interior. For decades, researchers believed they had a firm grasp on how these waves revealed the rocky mantle’s secrets ...
