The Chinese ship Mengxiang is preparing for an unprecedented undertaking: reaching the Earth's mantle, overcoming technological barriers and scientific challenges
An increasingly strong magnetic field is what we need to contain the energy of nuclear fusion: and in China they have just set a new record.
The two large masses moving in the Earth's mantle, known as large low-shear provinces, would be pieces of a planet that collided with the earth.
A new layer inside the Earth's core shows us new scenarios on its formation and on the geological phenomena taking place before man arrived.
An area of depression in the Earth's magnetic field known as the "South Atlantic Anomaly" is growing larger, and could indicate a process of magnetic pole reversal.
New research reveals that the Earth's core may actually be "losing" material. The high levels of helium-3 on Baffin Island could be the key to studying the Earth's core like never before.
A French research team has synthesized hexaferrum, a key material to help better understand the Earth's core.
Earthquakes and Cosmic Rays: An Odd Couple. New evidence reveals an unsuspected link between these two phenomena.
The Earth is preparing for an epochal change: the reversal of its magnetic field. Let's find out what the implications could be for life on the planet.
With its core based on a 10 kW nuclear power system, the Cryobot presented in a NASA workshop faces the technical challenges of cold space ice crusts.
The Earth hides an enigma: why are studies of the age of the planet missing a billion years?
Drilling and descending where no one has yet descended: and obtaining infinite energy, regardless of the place.
According to the study, heat inside the Earth dissipates sooner than expected: is the planet becoming inactive more quickly?
Greenland never ceases to amaze, indeed: it has just begun to do so. Here are some surprises, waiting for the next ones.
Asteroids are out there, and there are many of them, with their load of dangers... and riches. How can we exploit them?
A new hypothesis links the extinction of the Neanderthals to a magnetic pole reversal event 42.000 years ago, and shows what could happen again.
Never like this year have we searched for aliens and extraterrestrial life. Here's what we learned, what we acquired, what we lost.
