In the tantalizing quest to find extraterrestrial life beyond our own solar system, or at least beyond Earth, we often forget the myriad ways in which life has evolved within our own planet’s deep ...

Subsurface permeability is a measure of how well liquids flow through below-ground rocks and soils. It is a key parameter that determines subsurface flow and transport processes in watersheds. However ...

April 28 (UPI) --Boreholes drilled deep into the floor of the Atlantic are offering scientists new insights into the microbial communities found thousands of feet beneath the surface of the ocean.

Scientists have identified a new species of microscopic worms living in the ground below South African mines, isolated from fracture water gushing up from miles below the Earth's surface. It is the ...

Deep beneath Yellowstone’s famous geysers, a hidden world of microbes and magma is responding to earthquakes in ways scientists are only now beginning to see clearly. Using artificial intelligence to ...

After spotting the deepest hydrate seep ever, scientists were shocked to discover a deep-sea ecosystem thriving on the Arctic ...

Chinese researchers have recently challenged the long-held belief that "all life depends on sunlight." In a study published in Science Advances, the researchers identified how microbes in deep ...
