A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

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 ...

Earth's core contains up to 45 times more hydrogen than the oceans do, making it the largest hydrogen reservoir on the planet, a new study suggests. Researchers found that this vast amount of hydrogen ...

PCWorld reports that scientists discovered Earth’s inner core has slowed its rotation relative to the crust, even appearing to stop moving in a phenomenon that occurs every 35 years. This iron-nickel ...

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, ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Earth's core is mostly made of the metals iron and nickel, but it also contains lighter elements like hydrogen, oxygen and silicon. CharlesC via Wikimedia Commons under CC-BY-3.0 How Earth got its ...

All the activity on Earth’s surface — erupting volcanoes, shifting tectonic plates, restless seas and myriad forms of life — depends on the two-part engine under the hood. Directly beneath Earth’s ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning lighter elements exist in the core, as well. In particular, it's ...
