Un equipo de científicos ha identificado una formación subterránea oculta durante mucho tiempo bajo Estados Unidos que se remonta al período Jurásico. La estructura, descrita como un sótano perdido, podría intensificar los efectos de futuras tormentas solares en la red eléctrica.
Los investigadores identificaron la formación mediante un reciente análisis geológico. Según los hallazgos publicados el 9 de mayo de 2026, se encuentra a gran profundidad y se originó en la era Jurásica.
The Chicxulub asteroid impact that ended the dinosaur era left the site in what is now Mexico hot enough to sustain underground microbial life for at least 8 million years. New analysis of rock cores shows the hydrothermal system lasted far longer than earlier estimates suggested.

Researchers have mapped a massive fan-shaped network of basins beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, linking several previously studied features into one large geological structure. The discovery, published in a 2026 study, offers new insights into the continent's tectonic past and its influence on current ice movement.
Researchers have traced the origins of diverse early space rocks to a dust trap just outside Jupiter's orbit. The findings come from computer simulations matching meteorite compositions found on Earth. They suggest this region produced multiple generations of planetesimals over millions of years.

A massive body of magma surged upward beneath São Jorge Island in Portugal's Azores archipelago in March 2022, triggering thousands of earthquakes before stalling underground. The event, detailed in a new study, represented a failed eruption that raised but ultimately eased fears of volcanic activity.
Scientists have determined that structures once seen as traces of tiny animals in 540-million-year-old Brazilian rocks are actually fossilized communities of bacteria and algae. The reexamination uses advanced imaging to reveal preserved cells and organic material.
