EARTH: down to earth with Nobel Prize winner Adam Riess
he universe is repulsive, but in a good way. In 2008, while studying bursts of light emitted from exploding stars, newly named Nobel Laureates Adam Riess, Saul Perlmutter and Brian P. Schmidt discovered one of the most mysterious, yet prevalent, components of our universe: dark energy. View More (2011-10-06)
Looking for Earths by looking for Jupiters
In the search for Earth-like planets, it is helpful to look for clues and patterns that can help scientist narrow down the types of systems where potentially habitable planets are likely to be discovered. View More (2012-05-08)
Rocks could reveal secrets of life on Earth - and Mars
A new UK project could help detect evidence for life on Mars, as well as improve our understanding of how it evolved on Earth. The aim is to develop a technique that can identify biomolecules in water that have been trapped in rocks for millions to billions of years. As well as analysing samples from Earth, the proposed technique could be used to obtain important information from water sealed... View More (2003-10-09)
How to deflect asteroids and save the Earth
You may want to thank David French in advance. Because, in the event that a comet or asteroid comes hurtling toward Earth, he may be the guy responsible for saving the entire planet. View More (2009-04-17)
First comet found with ocean-like water
New evidence supports the theory that comets delivered a significant portion of Earth's oceans, which scientists believe formed about 8 million years after the planet itself. View More (2011-10-06)
'Ancestral Eve' crystal may explain origin of life's left-handedness
Scientists are reporting discovery of what may be the "ancestral Eve" crystal that billions of years ago gave life on Earth its curious and exclusive preference for so-called left-handed amino acids. View More (2010-04-22)
Did you know? The oldest organisms live in waste repositories
Some of the oldest organisms - Archaea - live in waste repositories. These microorganisms have lived on Earth for 3.8 billion years and some of them can produce methane, used as a renewable energy source. Cemagref scientists are trying to enhance their activities so that they produce methane more quickly. Why? In order to release the pollutants earlier while the landfill closure systems are still...

EARTH: Arctic humidity on the rise
The Arctic is getting warmer and wetter. As temperatures rise and sea ice melts, scientists suspect that system feedback cycles may further speed up the warming process. View More (2012-10-10)
Ocean's journey towards the center of the Earth
A Monash geoscientist and a team of international researchers have discovered the existence of an ocean floor was destroyed 50 to 20 million years ago, proving that New Caledonia and New Zealand are geographically connected. View More (2009-03-05)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory
Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. View More (2008-11-06)
Kiwi astronomers help find icy 'Super Earth' - Life in space discovery a step closer
By designing a variant of an astronomical technique proposed by Einstein, researchers from The University of Auckland and Massey University, together with astronomers from Auckland's Stardome Observatory, have found evidence for a new icy "Super Earth". View More (2006-03-15)
Rosetta bound for outer Solar System after final Earth swingby
This morning, mission controllers confirmed that ESA's comet chaser Rosetta had swung by Earth at 8:45 CET as planned, skimming past our planet to pick up a gravitational boost for an epic journey to rendezvous with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. View More (2009-11-16)
UCL scientists create first earthquakes in the laboratory
Scientists at UCL have recreated earthquakes in the laboratory for the first time allowing them to better understand the origin of the largest and most violent earthquakes. This is the first time scientists have been able to generate and observe deep and intermediate focus earthquakes in the laboratory, recreating the exact pressure and temperature conditions of the deep earth. Their results have... View More (2002-11-14)
EARTH: Scientists reopen a lunar cold case
When Apollo 17 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 19, 1972, it ended an era of manned spaceflight to the moon. The science, however, continues. View More (2013-03-26)
EARTH: Listening for gas bubbles
What if we could cheaply and efficiently detect a potent new energy source, while also monitoring for environmental safety? View More (2012-03-01)
Silver tells a volatile story of Earth's origin
Tiny variations in the isotopic composition of silver in meteorites and Earth rocks are helping scientists put together a timetable of how our planet was assembled beginning 4.568 billion years ago. View More (2010-05-14)
Key component of Earth's crust formed from moving molten rock
Earth scientists are in the business of backing into history -- extrapolating what happened millions of years ago based on what they can observe now. Using this method, a team of Cornell researchers has created a mathematical computer model of the formation of granulite, a fine-grained metamorphic rock, in the Earth's crust. View More (2008-03-06)
Global Earth Day broadcast to feature South Pole
Air quality research and ozone monitoring at the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole will be showcased as part of a global Earth Day telecast scheduled for April 20, 2007, on various ABC-television's news programs. View More (2007-04-20)
Mass extinction's cause: 'Sick Earth'
What really caused the largest mass extinction in Earth's history? View More (2006-10-23)
Geologist's discoveries resolve debate about oxygen in Earth's mantle
While there continues to be considerable debate among geologists about the availability of oxygen in the Earth's mantle, recent discoveries by a University of Rhode Island scientist are bringing resolution to the question. View More (2010-12-15)
