A research team has produced the first direct experimental evidence that Earth’s iron core traps hydrogen inside nanoscale ...

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 ...

Scientists suggest that huge reserves of hydrogen inside the Earth may have been key in the formation of water.

An experiment to quantify the amount of the universe’s lightest element in Earth’s core suggests that the planet’s water has ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

This superionic state of matter would neatly explain some unusual behavior in the core, such as the way it slows certain waves, and measurements that suggest it's squishy like butter rather than rigid ...

For years, scientists have tried to understand what’s hidden in the Earth. Now, a recent investigation has revealed something surprising: the Earth’s core ...

Precious metals may be escaping from the planet’s core. This hotly debated subject could help us understand Earth’s evolution and determine whether life exists elsewhere in the Universe ...

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, ...

Two enormous structures that sit at the border between the Earth’s mantle and its core have puzzled scientists for decades, defying reigning theories of how our planet came to be. In a new study ...

Earth-like planets have a thin crust, a large mantle (which contains a lot of molten magma), and a core. Inside these ...
