About 8,000 light-years from Earth lies a star system unlike any astronomers have ever seen. And within that star system lies a ticking bomb - a gamma-ray burst. An asteroid impact on Greenland left a massive crater under the ice
An international team of scientists has found one of the largest impact craters on Earth, buried a kilometre under the ice in Greenland. It's evidence of a catastrophic collision that could have happened at the same time as humans were spreading into NortClimate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study

Scientists have found a rapid way of producing magnesite, a mineral which stores carbon dioxide. If this can be developed to an industrial scale, it opens the door to removing CO2 from the atmosphere for long-term storage, thus countering the global warmi Scientists Claim to Have Solved the Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle
