Fiber optic cable deployed on a Swiss glacier has detected the seismic signals of crevasses opening in the ice, confirming ...

A surprising new discovery suggests that the Indian Plate is splitting into two, with a portion of it sinking into the mantle.

This discovery challenges widely held beliefs that the unique “fingerprints” of modern continental crust could only have emerged once plate tectonics was fully underway. Instead, the research ...

When Maureen Long talks to the public about her work, she likes to ask her audience to close their eyes and think of a ...

The National Eczema Association reports that 85% of people with atopic dermatitis struggle with severe daily itching (pruritus). The rash typically causes small, raised bumps that may ooze and then ...

The models indicated that the chemical signature of the protocrust matched that of today’s continental crust and suggested a global crust thickness of about 15 km—equivalent in chemical ...

Continental clues: Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet’s history, challenging current theories about plate tectonics. Credit: Morris McLennan, ...

Based on the accurate crustal thickness at OBS locations, a gravity inversion method is proposed to solve ... At the same time, there are generally sedimentary layers on the seafloor, and the sediment ...

So it’s a little more crumbly and sweet than classic pie crust. Some recipes make very thick lemon bars. We like a better curd-to-shortbread ratio for best results. I would say these are normal and ...

However, third-degree burns, or full-thickness burns, damage the nerves under the skin and might not hurt at all. A first-degree burn, or a superficial burn, is relatively minor. It damages only ...
