A new giant dinosaur species, *Dasosaurus tocantinensis*, discovered in Brazil, reveals ancient connections between South America and Europe.

Researchers discovered that iron-rich rocks in Western Australia can naturally generate hydrogen, a process that could be boosted for a significant clean energy source.

A vast, previously unknown magma reservoir has been discovered deep beneath Tuscany using seismic imaging, revealing a hidden volcanic system.

Scientists found that superheated magma can delay crystal formation, keeping it fluid longer and influencing whether an eruption produces lava fountains or a slower lava release.

New research provides the first direct evidence that the Gulf Stream shifted northward during a 12,900-year-old cold snap, offering insights into future climate change impacts.

New research suggests that frequent cosmic impacts on early Earth fractured its crust, creating permeable regions that facilitated fluid circulation and prebiotic chemistry.

Researchers are mapping the Grand Canyon's underground cave systems to understand how snowmelt feeds vital springs, aiming to protect the park's water from environmental threats.

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to analyze the super-Earth LHS 3844 b, finding it to be a dark, airless, rocky planet with a surface composition similar to basalt or Earth's mantle, likely shaped by space weathering.

Scientists have observed a subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest actively tearing apart, providing new insights into how tectonic plates evolve and influence earthquake risks.
