A supercomputer may have just predicted when life on Earth will end, and, thankfully, it's going to be a long time from now.

Here's how. A missing piece of Earth's evolutionary timeline may have been found. Using computational modeling, a team of scientists explored how working backwards from modern biochemistry could ...

A new study reveals that the aerobic nitrogen cycle in the ocean may have occurred about 100 million years before oxygen began to significantly accumulate in the atmosphere, based on nitrogen isotope ...

Over the last 485 million years, Earth has been both a lot colder and a lot hotter than once thought. A new temperature timeline that combines geologic data with computational simulations reveals ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Earth's first crust, formed around 4.5 billion years ago, likely had chemical features similar to today's continental crust, suggesting that the distinctive ...

An ambitious effort to understand the Earth’s climate over the past 485 million years has revealed a history of wild shifts and far hotter temperatures than scientists previously realized ...
