This water, now over 4.5 billion years old, has been perpetually renewed through Earth’s water cycle. My research team has recently proposed a new theory to explain how water first arrived on Earth.

Researchers say they discovered evidence that early Earth was home to more hydrogen than previously thought, calling into question widely held beliefs about the origins of water and the planet’s ...

Scientists suggest microlightning in water droplets could have sparked the creation of Earth's earliest organic molecules. The new research, published in Science Advances, builds upon the landmark ...

Scientist have concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth's formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life originated on the planet. The ...
