Scientists have coaxed one of the universe’s most stubborn elements into a new compound. Formed under intense pressures, the newly discovered compound packs helium atoms into crystalline iron, ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed. When you purchase through ...
