Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

New research from Florida State University and Rice University is providing a better estimate of the amount of carbon in the Earth’s outer core, and the work suggests the core could be the planet’s ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

The liquid outer core of Earth might be the largest reservoir of carbon on the planet. The percentage sounds small, somewhere between 0.3% and 3%, but once you take into account the size of the outer ...

The chemistry at the center of our planet has eluded scientists for centuries. But new research from Arizona State University has shone a light on these mysterious internal processes, suggesting the ...

A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape. Scientists who just months ago ...

Think of the Earth like a geological tootsie pop. If you were to peer more than 3,000 miles below your feet into the planet's center, you'd see a dense, solid ball of iron roughly three-quarters the ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists revealed this week that Mars’ innermost core appears to be a solid hunk of metal just like Earth’s. The Chinese-led research team based their findings on seismic ...

New research is providing a better estimate of the amount of carbon in the Earth's outer core, and the work suggests the core could be the planet's largest reservoir of that element. New research from ...
