Chang'e-6 Reveals Lunar Far Side's Volcanic History and Ancient Magnetic Field
China's Chang'e-6 mission returned 1,935.3 grams of lunar far-side samples from the South Pole-Aitken Basin in 2024, revealing evidence of volcanic activity lasting 1.4 billion years, an ancient magnetic field, lower water content than the near side, and a precise formation date of the basin at 4.25...

Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Study Reveals Deep-Earth Processes
A German study published in Nature reveals that over 99% of Earth's gold is locked in its core, with some slowly escaping to the surface via volcanic magma, a discovery made by detecting high concentrations of ruthenium-100 in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.

Chicxulub Impact, Not Volcanism, Primarily Caused Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction
A new study using fossil molecule analysis in North American sediments concludes that the Deccan Traps volcanism, though causing a temporary 5-degree Celsius cooling 30,000 years before the Chicxulub impact, did not cause the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction; the impact was the primary cause.

Superplume Drives East African Rifting
Analysis of volcanic gases in Kenya's Menengai geothermal field confirms a superplume beneath East Africa, driving rifting, volcanism, and the unique landscapes of the East African Rift system, a finding supported by similar gas compositions in Hawaiʻi and other East African sites.

Volcanic Activity and Continental Growth Increased Atmospheric Oxygen Before the Great Oxidation Event
A Japanese research team's study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, used numerical modeling to demonstrate how intense volcanism and continental growth during the late Archean Eon increased atmospheric oxygen levels before the Great Oxidation Event by enriching oceans with nutrients a...
