A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows ...

A new simulation model shows Earth's evolution over the past 100 million years in a very detailed manner. The sun sets behind artist Luke Jerram's 'Floating Earth' at Pennington Flash on November 22, ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

It transports far more than 100 times as much water as all of the Earth's rivers combined: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current ...

Described as a "knowledge collider," and now with a pledge of one billion euros from the European Union, the Living Earth Simulator is a new big data and supercomputing project that will attempt to ...

To simulate the Earth, he suggests that it would be necessary to convert the entire stellar mass of a globular cluster into ...

Imagine if scientists discovered a giant asteroid with a 72% chance of hitting the Earth in about 14 years — a space rock so big that it could not only take out a city but devastate a whole region.
