Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare ...

The discovery hints at a hidden population of lunar fragments traveling near Earth. "If there were only one object, that would be interesting but an outlier," Teddy Kareta, a planetary scientist ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

The initiative gains urgency amid global supply chain disruptions in the REE market, which accounts for 60 percent of ...

The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 hit a record high. Experts expect the risk percentage to fluctuate before likely dropping to zero. Here’s why.

O f the eight planets and 293 moons that call our solar system home, only Earth has a surface that sloshes with liquid water. Roughly 71% of the face of our world is covered in seas, lakes, rivers ...

China has signalled for more than 15 years that it was looking to weaponise areas of the global supply chain, a strategy modelled on longstanding American export controls Beijing views as aimed at ...

So, the high-energy particle wasn’t directly a dark matter particle, but rather a muon that decayed from dark matter likely fired from a blazar (a type of active galactic nucleus) right at Earth ...

This asteroid is one of the most likely to hit Earth. Here’s what it means for our future. New ultraprecise measurements show that the asteroid Bennu has a higher chance than thought of ...

Simulations show that the stars’ tug could send Mercury, Venus or Mars crashing into Earth — or let Jupiter eject our world from the solar system.
