This discovery was made possible through a groundbreaking technique that maps seismic waves traveling through the Earth's ...

Recent scientific discoveries reveal two extraordinary phenomena that could change our understanding of Earth's hydrology.

Earth, the only known planet to support life, owes much of its habitability to water. Understanding when and how water arrived on Earth is crucial for piecing together the story of life’s origins.

A team led by a Rutgers-New Brunswick scientist has concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth’s formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life ...

Scientists have detected organic compounds and minerals necessary for life in the samples collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission ...

A new telescope could launch as early as late February. SPHEREx will look into deep space and also search for organic ...

An enormous water reservoir — likely the largest aquifer of its kind in on Earth — sits inside the volcanic rocks of the Oregon Cascades, scientists have revealed. A hidden reservoir of ...

a 3d rendering of the earth's inner mantle shows red and blue blobs permeating a transparent layer.

New measurements indicate that the moon formed from material ejected from the Earth's mantle with little contribution from Theia. In addition, the findings support the idea that water could have ...

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission.

Scientists have finally had a close look at the rubble collected by a NASA spacecraft from an asteroid. In it, they've found ...
