Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...

Trace amounts of precious metals found in volcanic rock appear to come from the Earth's inner core. Contrary to conspiracy theories, the Earth’s core isn’t hollow. The dense, hot ball instead contains ...

A first-of-its-kind analysis of Hawaiian volcanic rocks has revealed that the Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals into the surface above. Over 99.99 per cent of the Earth’s deposits ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

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, ...

When trying to identify the nature of dark matter, sometimes it’s the things it doesn’t do that tell us the most, like ...

A German university, Göttingen University, has literally "struck gold" in recent findings from volcanic rocks. A new study of these volcanic rocks from Hawaii, that leaked out from deep under the ...

Cartoon of the Earth with cutaway showing the mantle and inner and outer core. Magnetic field lines produced by the geodynamo extend into space and interact with the solar wind. The iron-rich core at ...

Earth's inner core, the solid iron-rich mass at the center of our planet, is slowly growing as the surrounding molten outer core cools and freezes. But this process has been a source of debate amongst ...

(CNN) – Most of the earth’s gold lies trapped in the planet’s molten core. However, it’s starting to make its way to the surface, according to experts. A new analysis of volcanic rocks in Hawaii by ...
