Earth’s core has often been described as just a giant ball of iron and nickel. Now, a new study argues that it is also a ...

Deep beneath the familiar blue of the oceans, Earth may be hiding a far larger sea of potential. New high pressure experiments suggest the planet’s metallic heart could store hydrogen equivalent to ...

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure ...

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

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

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 ...

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, ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...

Scientists have long debated whether most of Earth's vital liquid was delivered via icy comets or was homemade ...

Precious metals may be escaping from the planet’s core. This hotly debated subject could help us understand Earth’s evolution and determine whether life exists elsewhere in the Universe ...
