Geology & LandformUnveiling Earth’s Mysteries: Liquid Iron Emerges as a Game-Changer in the Mission to Earth’s Core The Earth’s core. It’s a place we can’t even begin to touch, buried almost 3,000 kilometers down. For ages, it’s been one of the biggest puzzles in planetary science. Forget about taking a peek with any technology we have now!
What are these Gizmos at Izaña Atmospheric Research Center in Spain?
Outdoor GearDecoding the Gizmos of Izaña: Peeking Inside a High-Altitude Lab Ever heard of the Izaña Atmospheric Research Center? Perched way up high on the island of Tenerife, Spain, it’s a seriously important place for understanding what’s going on with our planet’s atmosphere.

Surviving the Searing Depths: Exploring the Upper Limits of Oceanic Life in the Face of Skyrocketing Temperatures
Wildlife & BiologySurviving the Searing Depths: Exploring the Upper Limits of Oceanic Life in the Face of Skyrocketing Temperatures Our oceans, the very birthplace of life on Earth, are in deep trouble. Think of them as the planet’s giant sponges, soaking up over 90% of the extra heat we’ve trapped with all our greenhouse gas emissions. Sounds
could a rhyolitic magma melt a ferromagnesian mineral like olivine?
Geology & LandformRhyolitic Magma vs. Olivine: Can These Two Even Be Friends? Okay, so picture this: deep down in the Earth, there’s this crazy mix of molten rock, right? It’s not all the same stuff. You’ve got magmas that are like oil and water – totally different personalities. And that brings us to a pretty cool question:
