A recent study has revealed an unexpected shift that happened beneath the Pacific Ocean ...
The iron-rich core at the centre 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, ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...
Iron atoms form a rigid hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, with a subset of these atoms exhibiting collective motion along the [100] and [010] directions. Within this hcp iron lattice, ...
