Rising sea levels are slowing Earth’s rotation, lengthening how long an average day lasts. And the current rate of increase to a single average day—1.33 additional milliseconds per century—is unprecedented for at least the last 3.

Scientists have found a promising new way to manufacture one of industry’s toughest materials—tungsten carbide–cobalt—using advanced 3D printing. Normally, producing this ultra-hard material requires high-pressure processes that waste large amounts of expensive tungsten and cobalt.

The Schumann Resonance is often called the “heartbeat of the Earth.” Here’s what it is, the science behind it, and why growing interest in global energy shifts has brought it back into conversation.

A 140-foot asteroid named 2007 EG is speeding toward Earth at over 17,000 mph and will make a close flyby soon.

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical geochemical models,

Some great ideas shake up the world. For centuries, the outermost layer of Earth was thought to be static, rigid, locked in place. But the theory of plate tectonics has rocked this picture of the planet to its core. Plate tectonics reveals how Earth’s ...

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and life sciences (including physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, soil science, geology, and geography) to the study of the environment and environmental systems and to ...

Earth/space science teachers educate students on the four basic areas of scientific study classified as part of earth science: oceanography, astronomy, meteorology and geology. Earth scientists play a vital role in scientific research; they directly study ...
