A decades-long scientific debate over the origins of the Silverpit Crater in the southern North Sea has been resolved

Scientists have discovered a huge solid mass measuring 600 kilometers (373 miles) long in the innermost core of Mars, which challenges our understanding of the Martian core's composition

Using JWST, for the first time, astronomers have managed to find tentative evidence for an atmosphere on a rocky planet in a clement orbit around another star some 40 light-years from Earth

Study claims dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old -- Covarying Coupling Constants + Tired Light Cosmology

Our Universe was 'pre-heated' in its early moments, according to a new study from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), challenging assumptions it emerged from an ultracold state.

Super set of supernovae suggests dark energy surprise: « Researchers built the largest Type Ia supernova dataset ever and found a hint that dark energy might evolve over time

A new paper suggests gravitational waves – rather than hypothetical particles called inflatons – drove the Universe's early expansion, and the redistribution of matter therein.

Scientists have recreated the oldest molecule in existence, helium hydride, which facilitated cooling and star ignition during the early universe

Grains of sediment recovered from the ocean could be evidence of an ancient comet that exploded in Earth's atmosphere 12,800 years ago, hypothetically triggering a rapid cooling event known as the Younger Dryas period
