The base of the ICS(International Commission on Stratigraphy)Geological Time Scale was ratified in 2022 by defining a new Global Stratigraphic Standard Age(GSSA)for the lower boundary of the Hadean Eon(formerly 4000–...

The early history of Earth is poorly understood,due to the lack of ancient rocks formed after the formation of the newborn Earth,especiallyfor thefirst 500 million years(Hadean Eon).To our knowledge,this period is the...

Objective Geological records of Earth history in the Hadean(>4.0 Ga)are critical for understanding the earliest evolution of the planet’s continental crust.Unfortunately,investigation of such proto-continental crust,...

Zhang et al.[1]reported the first direct detection of the natural supercritical CO_(2)(scCO_(2);critical point:31.1℃and 72.9 atm)in a deep-sea hydrothermal system.In their study,they measured in situ the Raman bands ...
Genesis of the oldest continental crust retains a marked trace in the Earth’s evolution over its 4.5 Ga history. Despite ample isotope data on the role of the continental crust in the Earth’s evolution, there has be...

When plate tectonics began on the Earth has been long debated and here we argue this topic based on the records of Earth-Moon geology and asteroid belt to conclude that the onset of plate tectonics was during the midd...

Despite the recent development in radiometric dating of numerous zircons by LA-ICPMS, mineral separation still remains a major obstacle, particularly in the search for the oldest material on Earth. To improve the effi...

How and where did life on Earth originate? To date, various environments have been proposed as plausible sites for the origin of life. However, discussions have focused on a limited stage of chemical evolution, or em...

Objective The Hadean zircon and rock are critical to deepening our understanding of the developmental history of early Earth, making possible new avenues for the Pre-Archean Eon. However, the Hadean rock on Earth is ...
