An Iron Age hoard discovered in England is on a "kind of scale and size that is exceptional for Britain and probably even Europe." ...

Modern society, and the clean energy revolution, depend on rare earth elements. Can Greenland help break China's stranglehold on the market?

The Keeble Observatory at Randolph-Macon College holds weekly public viewing during spring semester. Check their website ( or ...

Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, ...

The explosion released elements heavier than iron—like gold and platinum—through a process known as rapid neutron capture ...

In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Hydrogen from geological formations makes up about 10% of the flammable gases that form the Yanartaş flames near Cirali, ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

An international team led by researchers in Japan and Europe has discovered a new multi-planet system around a Sun-like star, ...
