NASA has conducted a study that explores the flow and storage of water in the Earth’s rivers. This research, published in Nature Geoscience, has uncovered important data about the quantity of water flowing through Earth’s rivers, the rate at which this water flows into oceans, and how these metrics fluctuate over time. Such information is […]

Scientists Reveal how the First Cells on Earth May Have Formed
About 4 billion years ago, Earth started developing the right ingredients for life. Scientists who study how life began wonder what chemicals were present back then. They want to know if the chemistry of early Earth was anything like what living things need today. They do know that spherical blobs of fats called protocells came […]

Berserker Hypothesis, the Possible Destruction of All Universal Intelligent Life by Self-Replicating Robotic Probes
Are we alone in the universe or is there intelligent life on other worlds? And if there was, but it’s no longer there, perhaps destroyed, which is why we haven’t made contact with anyone? And if that’s the case, how many civilizations were there and why did they all disappear? The subsequent questions would be […]

Scientists Find Out What Turned the Earth Into a Giant Snowball 700 Million Years Ago
Scientists in Australia have figured out what most likely caused a period of extreme cold on Earth over 700 million years ago. By using models of how the continents move over time, they discovered low levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were to blame. This finding, published in the journal Geology, […]

20 Reflectors Proposed by Researchers to Be Installed in Orbit 1,000 Kilometers From Earth
Engineers at the University of Glasgow have unveiled a new concept that could dramatically increase solar power production and accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy. Their study shows that placing large reflectors in Earth orbit could bounce additional sunlight onto solar farms even after sunset, boosting daily energy yields. Using sophisticated computer simulations, the […]
