Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active place in the solar system. During its 1.8-day orbit, this moon is gravitationally squeezed by Jupiter, leading to volcanic eruptions larger than any on Earth today.Io, Europa, and Ganymede are in an o

Recent research indicates that Earth's mantle contains two large blobs, remnants of Theia, the ancient planet whose collision with Earth led to the moon's creation. This discovery offers fresh insights into the moon's formation and Earth's early history. In the 1980s, geophysicists made a startli

Carbon is the building block of biological life on Earth. The element is present in many compounds, such as the sugars, proteins, and carbohydrate molecules that make up everything from animals to plants to bacteria.One particular carbon-based molecu

The remnants of an ancient planet that collided with Earth to form the Moon lie deep within the earth, according to a new model from Caltech researchers and collaborators.

Arizona State University has been named among the top 20 public universities in the Wall Street Journal’s Best Colleges in the U.S. for 2024, ahead of UCLA, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Virginia.

A Caltech study identified trunk neural crest cells as the origin of protective bony scales in fish, shedding light on the evolution of vertebrate armor. About 350 million years ago, your evolutionary ancestors—and the ancestors of all modern vertebrates—were merely soft-bodied animals living in th
