At the start of the year, Earth will quietly reach a milestone in its orbit around the sun. Known as perihelion, this is the moment when our planet is closer to the sun than at any other point in the ...

Billions of years ago, Earth was an uninhabitable rock covered in magma. Scientists are still working to decipher the tale of how it transformed into a blue and green orb teeming with life. However, ...

Scientists studying Greenland have uncovered surprising heat variations deep beneath the ice that could reshape experts' understanding of future sea-level rise. The discovery, made using advanced 3D ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope caught a glimpse of 3I/ATLAS – in July and on Nov. 30, 2025. An ESA orbiter bound for Jupiter also observed the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. How big is 3I/ATLAS ...

Earth’s inner core may not be a conventional solid at all, but a superionic material where light elements drift like liquid through a rigid iron lattice. New experiments show that this unusual state ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

Iron atoms form a rigid hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, with a subset of these atoms exhibiting collective motion along the [100] and [010] directions. Within this hcp iron lattice, ...
