Physicists have discovered that the most powerful geomagnetic storms occur when the Sun ejects two large plasma streams simultaneously, and they collide. These events are linked to coronal mass e Physicists have discovered that the most powerful geomagnetic storms occur when the Sun ejects two large plasma streams simultaneously, and they collide.

Researchers from the University of Toho and the Georgia Institute of Technology have predicted a sharp decline in oxygen levels on Earth in about one billion years. The model created by the scientists takes into account changes in the Sun’s brightness and a reduction in carbon dioxide levels. According to their calculations, an increase in […]
Scientists have detected a slowdown in the rotation of Earth’s inner core, and according to a study published in Nature, it could come to a complete halt by 2040. This phenomenon may impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields Earth from solar radiation. It was previously believed that the core consistently rotates from west to […]
Scientists have determined a critical threshold for the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet, beyond which its collapse will become irreversible. According to a study published in The Cryosphere, this threshold is 230 billion tons of ice loss per year. If the rate surpasses this level, Greenland’s ice sheet could disappear within a relatively short time, […
Israeli scientists have discovered a new mineral on Mount Carmel, composed of titanium, aluminum, and zirconium. Similar compounds had previously only been found in meteorites, making this find truly unique. Although the discovery was made back in 2019, details about the mineral have only been revealed now. The mineral, named carmeltazite, has been found to […
Construction of the ambitious underwater complex Deep has begun in Gloucestershire, England, funded by an anonymous millionaire. By 2027, a former limestone quarry spanning 20 hectares will host residential modules, a training center, and a platform for mini-submarines. The modules are designed to descend up to 200 meters into the so-called “
