Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists ...

Their findings could shed more light on the layers that make up the Earth and how they are interconnected, coauthor and ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.

It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

A recent study from Nature has uncovered unusual changes occurring deep within Earth, near the core. These shifts, detected by orbiting satellites, hint at dynamic processes thousands of kilometers ...

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. He works for the University of Leeds. The iron-rich core at the centre ...

For years, the secrets of Earth’s inner core have remained concealed beneath layers of rock and metal, making it one of the most challenging areas of study in planetary science. Despite its ...

Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

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, ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

Get started on your descending journey. In Dig to Earth’s Core, you are embarking on a Roblox adventure with your trusty pickaxe to disperse dirt to dig all the way down to the depths of various ...
