Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense, semi-solid rock. Then there is the outer core, made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

Scientists have discovered two diamond-like planets, PSR J1719-1438b and 55 Cancri e, challenging our understanding of ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is capable of finely characterizing the velocity structure, anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and attenuation properties of subsurface media, which provides critical ...

Earth's innermost layer is called the core. The outside of Earth's core is made from molten nickel and iron that can reach temperatures of 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,000 degrees Celsius).

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

Hydrogen from geological formations makes up about 10% of the flammable gases that form the Yanartaş flames near Cirali, ...
