Researchers may have uncovered the reason why some of Earth's earliest animals were commonly preserved as fossils—even though they were essentially fragile "bags of goo"—while later soft-bodied creatures have largely disappeared ...
Seismic data captured by ocean-bottom instruments have revealed "fossilized" traces of mantle flow beneath the Pacific Ocean's oldest preserved piece of crust. The patterns of ancient flow traced in the uppermost mantle are ...
Sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific are forecast to increase to record levels during October–December 2026, reflecting the strengthening of the El Niño event, which will drive weather patterns ...
Using data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, with help from artificial intelligence, an international team of scientists has discovered 70 new gravitational lenses—rare cosmic alignments that act as natural magnifying ...
