One hundred twenty light-years from us, there is an exoplanet that can potentially host life. It’s called K2-18b, and it’s ...

"It confirms K2-18 b to be our best chance to study a potential habitable environment beyond the solar system at the present time." The saga surrounding Neptune-size "super-Earth" exoplanet K2-18 b ...

"Water on planets is much more limited than previously believed." Sub-Neptune planets, often billed as possible "water worlds," may be more desert than deep sea, according to a new study. For years, ...

An illustration shows what exoplanet K2-18b might look like based on data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. K2-18b is 8.6 times as massive as Earth, orbits the cool dwarf star K2-18 in the ...

Data from the James Webb Space Telescope on exoplanet K2-18b has revealed the "strongest hints yet of biological activity ...

Marine researchers exploring extreme depths say they have discovered an astonishing deep-sea ecosystem of chemosynthetic life that’s fueled by gases escaping from fractures in the ocean bed. The ...

How will the climate crisis affect one of the ocean’s fiercest predators? New research published Wednesday has examined what might happen to sharks’ highly specialized, flesh-cutting teeth. As carbon ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...
