Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than ...

In a new paper, Jordan Jensen and Alexis Ault introduce a new forensic tool designed to enhance our understanding of how ...

It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied ...

Scientists are confident Mars was once abundant with water, as seen in massive flood-carved channels, ancient river valleys, ...

In 2024, scientists made headlines when they found evidence of copious amounts of water inside a layer of the Martian crust. This layer lies 11.5 to 20 kilometers below the surface and is about 1-2 km ...

However, residual heat from the formation of Earth remains. Although the primordial heat has largely dissipated, another form of heat continues to warm the mantle and crust of the Earth.

A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in our galaxy.

There's a lot of debate about what LLVPs are. Some studies have suggested that they're material from the ancient Earth — either a layer of primordial unmixed rock from the planet's formation or ...

We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the ... volcanic material that evolved into continental crust. Our evidence then lay in the chemical ...

"Given how rare such evidence is due to [Earth's] geological recycling processes, this is a major breakthrough in understanding early Earth." Geologists have discovered the world's oldest known ...

President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening told lawmakers he’s planning to strengthen mineral and rare earth production in the U.S., supply chains that China currently dominates. Top White House ...

Earth is made out of different layers, and those layers get hotter and more pressurized the deeper you go. The first layer is the crust, a thin outer shell that extends about 18 miles (30 km ...
