"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

Earth's magnetic field protects and makes our planet habitable by stopping harmful high-energy particles from space, including from the Sun. The source of this magnetic field is the core at the centre ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

New research suggests that Earth’s solid inner core might not be as rigid as once believed. Instead, it could exist in an ...

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron — it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well. When you purchase through links on ...

Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...
