Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...
New research suggests that Earth’s solid inner core might not be as rigid as once believed. Instead, it could exist in an ...
Born in Vichy in 1969, I grew up during the Apollo era, inspired by space exploration, nuclear energy, and major scientific discoveries. Early on, I developed a passion for quantum physics, relativity ...
A thick layer of more than 12 miles of rock may explain why Bermuda seems to float above the surrounding ocean. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...
Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies go beneath the surface: They explore the interior of the red planet using seismic data from NASA's InSight mission ...
We’re all familiar with the layers making up our planet’s structure. A study published in 2021 used seismic waves to build a more complex picture of what lays beneath our feet, finding the very core ...
Ice is a key component in the universe. There are frozen water molecules on comets, moons, exoplanets, and in your drink as you cool off from the summer heat. However, under the microscope, not all ...
As one of the representative multi-ring basins on the Moon, the internal structure of Mare Orientale is crucial for exploring the formation mechanism of multi-ring basins. Due to the sparsity of ...
The presence of a planetary magnetic field is an important ingredient for habitability. The coexistence of a solid and a liquid core can facilitate the maintenance of a compositionally driven dynamo; ...
