Stardust Solutions develops the particle that reflects sunlight, and also studies how it will be dispersed into the atmosphere and how it will be monitored if it turns harmful.

Discover when life on Earth may end, with estimates ranging from 1.68 to 1.87 billion years due to climate changes.

A two-week expedition off Brazil's coast uncovered 31 previously unknown marine species, highlighting just how little is known about Earth's largest ecosystem.

Beneath every forest, grassland and crop field lies a hidden living network that few people ever see. Invisible to the naked eye, microscopic fungi weave through the soil, connecting plant roots in an intricate web that helps sustain life on Earth.

A controversial proposal to cool off the planet by injecting sulfur into the upper atmosphere has been suggested. This proposal, however, could cause unexpected consequences for air travel, as scientists have found that some of the commercial aeroplane passengers and crew members might get exposed to elevated levels of sulfuric acid if the aircraft fly through areas where climate-cooling aerosols have been released.

Antarctica may feel far removed from everyday life, but new research suggests the icy continent could have a bigger influence on global warming than scientists once believed. A recent study by European Geosciences Union (EGU) points to a stronger-than-expected connection between Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, and the way Earth stores heat, raising fresh concerns about how quickly the planet could warm in the years ahead.

For decades, Antarctica has been treated as a kind of frozen time capsule, a place where evidence of Earth's deep past sits preserved, undisturbed, beneath layers of ice that have built up over millions of years. As per the study published in Nature Geoscience, scientists have now uncovered something remarkable within that buried record: an enormous, fan-shaped geological structure stretching across a huge swath of East Antarctica, hidden entirely from view beneath the ice.

Cockroaches are already famous for surviving some of Earth's harshest conditions, but scientists have now pushed their abilities even further. Researchers have developed remote-controlled cockroaches capable of walking underwater for up to three hours by fitting them with miniature oxygen-supplying suits.

Earth will reach its farthest point from the Sun on July 6, a yearly astronomical event known as aphelion. At around 152.1 million kilometres from the Sun, the planet will be about 5 million kilometres farther away than it is in early January.

In 2017, an international group of physicists discovered something new inside the Great Pyramid of Giza without lifting a single stone. By using cosmic muon rays, very small particles that go through the Earth all the time, they discovered a new cavity that was about 30 metres long, located above the Grand Gallery of the pyramid.
