A new study used mathematical formulas and demonstrated that it’s highly unlikely life began on Earth. Instead, the ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

New research has found that amino acids, the building blocks of life, may have traveled to Earth on interstellar dust grains, ...

Early Earth was a barren wasteland incapable of supporting life until a big protoplanet crash carried in the necessary ingredients, a new study suggests. That collision of the proto-Earth and a ...

“Invoking terraforming adds explanatory complexity without constraint,” said Robert G. Endres, a systems biologist at Imperial College London. But in his new research, he refuses to rule out the ...

A rocky, Earth-size planet located in our Milky Way galaxy may have an atmosphere around it, according to new research, raising the possibility that it could also have liquid water on its surface and ...

New research from Japan's iron-rich hot springs shows how early microbes may have harnessed iron and oxygen during the Great ...

Scientists have shown that Earth’s basic chemistry solidified within just three million years of the Solar System’s formation. Initially, the planet was barren and inhospitable, missing water and ...

Astronomers might be close to confirming the presence of an Earth-like atmosphere on an exoplanet for the first time, if more detailed analyses verify preliminary observations from the James Webb ...

Are there aliens near Earth or are they too far away? A new study brings light on how far away they could be from the Milky Way Galaxy. Here's what scientists revealed.

That’s according to a recent study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which detected ...

Some 2.3 billion years ago, the Earth would have been unrecognizable to us. At that time, ancient microorganisms were the dominant life form; there were no animals, no plant life, and certainly no ...
