Experiment may help explain the ‘most intriguing causal paradox in biology’ about how early life forms came together about 4 ...

Researchers say they discovered evidence that early Earth was home to more hydrogen than previously thought, calling into question widely held beliefs about the origins of water and the planet’s ...

A study published in Nature on 2 April reveals that Earth's first crust, formed about 4.5 billion years ago, probably had chemical features remarkably like today's continental crust.

However, the theory has a flaw: Earth's core was completely liquid before Earth's inner core crystallized—around 1 billion years ago.

The study of early Earth microbial life and its associated organic matter provides crucial insights into the origins and evolution of life on our planet. Recent work has illuminated the remarkable ...

Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth’s early geological history, challenging beliefs about how our continents formed and when plate tectonics began.
