NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's TESS telescope.

The bold question-askers at What If search for answers about whether Super-Earths could become humanity’s new home.

Super-Earth TOI-1452 b, depicted in this artist’s rendition, orbits a red dwarf star some 100 light-years away. It is 70 percent larger than Earth and five times our planet’s mass, with a ...

Terrestrial exoplanets with four to six times Earth’s mass may have the longest-lasting defences against cosmic radiation.

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like exoplanets could be more common than we thought.

There are many Earth-like planets where we could start interstellar colonies. But life on a super-Earth would be very different than life on Earth.

Within super-sized alien versions of Earth, a common transparent ceramic may become a flowing liquid metal, perhaps granting those distant worlds magnetic fields to shield life from harmful ...

So-called "super-Earth" alien worlds may bear little resemblance to our own home planet and thus could be less likely to support life than previously believed, a new study suggests.Super-Earths ...

The hope that Super-Earth worlds would be Earth-like is shattered, and we can safely put Super-Earths, Mini-Neptunes and Neptune-like worlds into the same overall category.

A super-Earth is a planet that is close to Earth's size and mass, but not so big that its surface is surrounded by a gas envelope — like a small version of Uranus. If the super-Earth is in the ...
