Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists ...

Their findings could shed more light on the layers that make up the Earth and how they are interconnected, coauthor and ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.

As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

Scientists detect a solid inner core on Mars for the first time, revealing a new chapter in planetary evolution.

Give your most important tool some flair. As the name suggests, pickaxe visual effects add some extra flair to your pickaxe by adding an effect that surrounds the tool. Whether that’s a star effect, ...

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. He works for the University of Leeds. The iron-rich core at the centre ...

Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

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 ...

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, ...

A subduction zone breaking apart was caught in real time, showing how Earth’s tectonic plates die, detach, and reshape the ...
