May 1, 2020For much of its existence, Earth has been inhabited. But if researchers remotely analyzed the atmosphere of that young Earth, they might have missed the evidence for life. -
Apr 8, 2020They say variety is the spice of life, and now new discoveries from Johns Hopkins researchers suggest that a certain elemental ‘variety’—sulfur—is indeed a ‘spice’ that can perhaps point to signs of life. -
Mar 27, 2020Cornell astronomers have created five models representing key points from our planet’s evolution, like chemical snapshots through Earth’s own geologic epochs. -
Mar 26, 2020A recent study is contributing to our understanding of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, which occurred some 66 million years ago. This event is possibly best known for wiping out the dinosaurs, and is one of the most well-studied mass extinctions in Earth’s history. -
Jan 8, 2020Scientists have developed a new method for detecting oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres that may accelerate the search for life. -
Dec 2, 2019Earth’s breathable atmosphere is key for life, and a new study suggests that the first burst of oxygen was added by a spate of volcanic eruptions brought about by tectonics. -
Nov 6, 2019Sulfur chemistry was vital for early anaerobic life in the Archean eon, over 2.5 billion years ago -
Dec 19, 2018About 2.6 million years ago, an oddly bright light arrived in the prehistoric sky and lingered there for weeks or months. -
Dec 10, 2018Microorganisms living underneath the surface of the earth have a total carbon mass of 15 to 23 billion tons, hundreds of times more than that of humans, according to new findings. -
Nov 24, 2018Large amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane are being released from an Icelandic glacier, scientists have discovered.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
