As we celebrate Earth Month, we are kicking off a series of retrospectives on National Academies reports and activities related to climate science. The National Academies took on the complex challenge ...

Science Space Building blocks of life on Earth originate from a relatively small amount of source material 'It would be very inconvenient for us if we were being repeatedly blasted by supernovae.' ...

The program, offered through the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences (DAES), will be a science-centered program offering a holistic view of Earth’s climate. Students will be ...

New research suggests “microlightning” exchanges among water droplets in Earth’s early atmosphere may have sparked the building blocks of life.

How did the building blocks of life arrive on Earth? Date: October 11, 2024 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: Researchers have used the chemical fingerprints of zinc contained in meteorites ...

UAlbany held STEM and Earth Sciences Family Day Sunday at its ETEC facility. UAlbany alum and NewsChannel 13 meteorologist Christina Talamo was on hand to explain weather concepts to students.

McMillan also thinks lithospheric dripping is likely happening on Earth, but it can be hard to untangle the signs of possible dripping from the geology created by the tectonic plates' horizontal ...

NASA is closely monitoring a building-sized asteroid as it makes its closest approach to Earth today, among a group of five other space rocks passing by our planet over the next two days.

In samples NASA brought back from the asteroid Bennu, scientists have discovered of organic compounds, including key building blocks of life like amino acids.

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could transform our understanding of plate tectonics.

They’re the building rocks of life. Analysis of debris from the nearly 5 billion-year-old asteroid Bennu suggests the ingredients to life on Earth were present in the early days of our solar ...
