By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

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 ...

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 ...

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

The researchers say the Earth’s true core is iron because of the “ricochets” they uncovered. It’s an intriguing discovery, and one that the paper outlines very well. If it does indeed ...

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

Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills ...

Lincoln Minerals is re-assaying historic core aiming to uncover new base metal potential in South Australia after it was only ...
