Earth's inner core, composed primarily of iron with a small percentage of light elements, may enter a superionic state at ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New research suggests Earth's core may store up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen, reshaping theories of water's origin. (CREDIT: ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...

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 major storage place for hydrogen, possibly equivalent to dozens of oceans’ ...

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 ...

The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA satellites provided data on the direction of flow, helping scientists gain ...

Earth cross section showing the classic distinction between crust, mantle and core. But new research shows Earth's structure is far more complicated and may change over time. Analyzing an unusual ...

Earth's core: solid or liquid? Yes — we know more about distant galaxies than our own interior. Is Earth's core solid or liquid? Yes. Our planet's interior has been harder to study than the cosmos. We ...
