ESA satellites detected a dramatic reversal in Earth’s molten core flow beneath the Pacific, revealing unexpected changes ...

Earth’s molten outer core is critical to life on our planet. Churning some 2,900 kilometers beneath the surface, it’s a vast ...

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

Deep beneath our feet, approximately 2,890 kilometers underground, lies one of Earth's most mysterious regions. The boundary between our planet's molten outer core and solid mantle acts like a massive ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Precious metals are leaking out of Earth’s core into the mantle, a new study suggests. Scientists identified a particular isotope of ruthenium (Ru) ...

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 ...

Earth’s core isn’t just a boring, featureless ball of metal, it turns out. A recent study used seismic waves from earthquakes to make a 3D model of the center of our planet, and the researchers ...

LONDON — Picture all of Earth's oceans, which cover about 70% of the planet and are mostly made of hydrogen. Now multiply that by nine. That may be the amount of hydrogen in Earth's core, possibly ...

USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel is changing. The ...
