A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.

Scientists confirm the Moon has a solid iron core, like Earth’s, with a molten outer layer. This discovery reshapes our ...

New research reveals that the Moon's core has a density similar to that of iron. This discovery may end longstanding ...

Previous research has found that the rotation of the inner core is slowing down relative to the rotation of the external crust, which may cause minute changes in Earth’s rotation and subtly affect the ...

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

New research reveals that the Moon's core has a density similar to that of iron. This discovery may settle long-standing ...

The movement of atoms in the liquid outer core generate the Earth's magnetic field and the planet's broad habitability. But while the center of our planet has long been thought to be a solid iron ...

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long ...

A coil with an iron core is called an electromagnet. The iron core increases the coil’s magnetic field strength. A simple electromagnet is made by coiling wire around an iron nail. An iron core ...

Iron can form compounds with helium at pressures as low as 5GPa – about 50,000 atmospheres – researchers in Japan report.
