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.

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

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years.

Future detection of more such events will enable a clearer picture. THE earth’s inner core, which until now was widely believed to be a solid sphere, is located about 5,000 km below the earth’s ...

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth’s core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...
