Tim ilmuwan telah mengidentifikasi formasi bawah tanah yang telah lama tersembunyi di bawah Amerika Serikat yang berasal dari periode Jura. Struktur yang digambarkan sebagai ruang bawah tanah yang hilang ini dapat memperparah dampak badai matahari di masa depan terhadap jaringan listrik.
Para peneliti mengidentifikasi formasi tersebut melalui analisis geologi terkini. Menurut temuan yang dilaporkan pada 9 Mei 2026, struktur ini terletak jauh di bawah tanah dan berasal dari era Jura.
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.
