An experiment to quantify the amount of the universe’s lightest element in Earth’s core suggests that the planet’s water has mostly been here since the beginning ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

A research team has produced the first direct experimental evidence that Earth’s iron core traps hydrogen inside nanoscale ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Researchers in England believe carbon played a key role in freezing Earth’s core. As it contributes to the cooling and freezing of the molten outer core, the solid, iron-rich center of Earth continues ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

Deep beneath your feet, far beyond where any drill can reach, something strange is hiding. Two continent-sized blobs of rock sit just above Earth’s core, hot, dense and stubbornly different from ...

The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...
