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 ...

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

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

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

A groundbreaking study published in Geophysical Research Letters has revealed that rocks deep within the Earth’s lower mantle can undergo dynamic transformations, carrying major implications for both ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
