Life in the deepest parts of the ocean may have access to more food than scientists once believed. A new study has found that the huge pressure found several kilometres below the ocean surface squeezes nutrients out of sinking organic particles, giving deep-sea microbes a fresh source of food.

Life on Earth has an expiry date, but it is probably not the dramatic disaster movie ending many people imagine. Instead of a sudden asteroid strike or a single catastrophic event, scientists think the planet's final chapter will unfold slowly, quietly and over an almost unimaginable stretch of time.

Nearly 1,000 years after people first saw a bright new star appear in the sky, scientists have measured how the remains of that explosion are still expanding today.

Bengaluru startup Vimag Labs, founded by Manish Seth, has developed a software-defined motor technology that eliminates rare earth magnets, reducing India's dependence on Chinese supply chains.

Meet the Bengaluru startup that wants to end China's hold on magnet-powered motors through deep-tech sovereignty and out of the box thinking.

Fin whales are among the largest animals on Earth and the second-largest whale species after blue whales. These ocean giants can engulf enormous volumes of seawater during feeding, filtering out their prey through specialised baleen plates.

For millions of years, Earth's rocks may have emitted stored carbon and sulfur gases, slowly altering the climate and contributing to some of the planet's deadliest extinctions, according to new research. According to Phys.org, research done by Florida State University scientists indicates that besides volcanic eruptions, there may be other processes taking place under the Earth's crust that impact the planet's atmosphere.

For tens of thousands of years, Arctic permafrost has preserved the remains of long-lost landscapes, prehistoric animals, and extinct ecosystems. But as the Arctic warms, this natural archive is gradually disappearing.

Climate change is often discussed in terms of global averages, but new research suggests that where warming or cooling occurs may be just as important as how much occurs. Using advanced climate model simulations, scientists found that the Earth's climate system responds very differently depending on where radiative forcing is introduced.

Scientists have long relied on chemical traces locked inside ancient rocks to piece together the story of early life. Fossils from the deepest reaches of Earth's history are rare, often fragmentary and difficult to interpret.
