They believe plate stretching created subduction-like fractures, leading to the formation of the Tasman Sea. Subsequent tectonic activity further thinned Zealandia’s crust, relegating it to an ...

This early rocky shell featured chemical signatures previously thought to occur only in continental crusts made by the process of subduction, in which one tectonic plate slides under another.

It’s the largest and most-intricate map to date of the neural activity and connections in a mammal’s brain. Scientists used AI to track the equivalent of 4,000 kilometers of neural cables packed into ...
