As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

Life on Earth may exist thanks to an incredible stroke of luck — a chemical sweet spot that most planets miss during their formation but ours managed to hit.

Scientists suggest that huge reserves of hydrogen inside the Earth may have been key in the formation of water.

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of ...

Parts of ancient Earth may have formed continents and recycled crust through subduction far earlier than previously thought.

Among the areas in China where rare earth minerals are relative abundant, Bayan Obo, located in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, has unique significance. Its vast reserves account for about 90 percent of the ...

New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets.

A study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters posits that Mars formed in what today is the Asteroid Belt, roughly one and a half times as far from the sun as its current ...

The experts can use these findings in their search for life on exoplanets with similar chemical profiles.
