Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

By firing tiny projectiles of iron-carbon alloy from a high-speed cannon, scientists have finally demonstrated that a weird ...

A new study offers compelling evidence that Earth's inner core reversed direction and is slowing down.

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Deep under the crust and mantle of our Earth lies its core. Earth’s core was formed during the Iron Catastrophe, a major ...

Trace amounts of precious metals found in volcanic rock appear to come from the Earth's inner core. Contrary to conspiracy theories, the Earth’s core isn’t hollow. The dense, hot ball instead contains ...

With modern seismic tomography, Earth scientists have discovered that above Earth's core-mantle boundary (CMB), about 2,900 ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron — it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well. When you purchase through links on ...

Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...
