The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA ...

Many may remember the story Journey to the Center of the Earth. While those characters may have discovered a beautiful and mysterious world deep down, a new study published in Nature Communications ...

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, ...

If the explorers from Journey to the Center of the Earth were to journey to the center of Mars instead, they definitely wouldn’t come across the subterranean oceans or live dinosaurs they encountered ...

A model of iron atoms on the move in Earth's inner core. The model demonstrates how iron atoms are expected to move about in the Earth’s inner core over 10 picoseconds.. One picosecond is one ...

A new study disputes the prevailing hypothesis on why Mercury has a big core relative to its mantle (the layer between a planet’s core and crust). For decades, scientists argued that hit-and-run ...

Earth's solid inner core may not be solid after all — at least not all the way through. Instead, it’s a hodgepodge patchwork of solid and liquid that reaches all the way to the center. New research ...
