Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of ...

Recent research has revealed that Earth’s core is undergoing a slowdown in its rotation, a phenomenon that has piqued the interest of scientists around the world. Understanding the causes and ...

The blobs lie at the base of Earth’s mantle, around 1,802 miles beneath Africa and the Pacific.

The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...

Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron — it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well. When you purchase through links on ...

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 ...

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...
