A quirky material that behaves like a mishmash of liquid and solid could be hidden deep in the Earth. Computer simulations described in two studies suggest that the material in Earth’s inner core, ...

Earth’s inner core may be made of fluid light elements swirling around amid a solid lattice of iron, according to a computer simulation study. A team of physicists recently modeled how alloys of iron ...

A study of the Earth’s core published last week in the journal Nature is challenging what scientists have thought about the structure of the planet. The new study showed that Earth’s inner core is in ...

Earth's inner core may be filled with a weird substance that is neither solid nor liquid, according to a new study. "We find that hydrogen, oxygen and carbon in hexagonal close-packed iron transform ...

A study on the Earth's core titled "Superionic iron alloys and their seismic velocities in Earth's inner core" has been published in the journal Nature. Scientists have thought of Earth's core to ...

Yu He, a physicist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and lead author of a study published this month in the journal Nature, said the calculations challenged what researchers once understood about the ...

A research team led by Prof. WANG Wenzhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has revealed that these enigmatic regions may be formed by superionic iron hydride through ...
