A University of Sydney student has developed a completely new way to peer inside coral fossils to recover lost records of past climate change.

Ancient ocean grains show Earth’s carbon levels were far lower than expected during key evolutionary eras. The results challenge old theories of life’s rise and hint at patterns that could shape our ...

Geological time, generally considered as a system of eras, periods and epochs materialized in rock strata, might actually follow a simple and unifying model. Indeed, a new study led by ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered traces of organic molecules in a layered rock outcrop called Bright Angelon Mars. One of these rocks, nicknamed Cheyava Falls, showed spectral features that may ...
