Recent scientific discoveries reveal two extraordinary phenomena that could change our understanding of Earth's hydrology.

Earth, the only known planet to support life, owes much of its habitability to water. Understanding when and how water arrived on Earth is crucial for piecing together the story of life’s origins.

A team led by a Rutgers-New Brunswick scientist has concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth’s formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life ...

An enormous water reservoir — likely the largest aquifer of its kind in on Earth — sits inside the volcanic rocks of the Oregon Cascades, scientists have revealed. A hidden reservoir of ...

Two new papers describe hints to a brine-filled environment on the 4.5-billion-year-old space rock and the presence of amino ...

creating a liquid environment inside the rock that allowed complex organic molecules, such as the amino acids and nucleobases ...

Peru’s boiling river reaches 210°F, killing animals instantly. Scientists found biodiversity drops by 11% for every 1.8°F ...

a 3d rendering of the earth's inner mantle shows red and blue blobs permeating a transparent layer.

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission.

Scientists have finally had a close look at the rubble collected by a NASA spacecraft from an asteroid. In it, they've found ...
