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 ...

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 ...

Deep below the crust and mantle, far beyond the reach of any drill, Earth’s core may be hiding a planetary-scale cache of hydrogen. Recent high‑pressure experiments suggest that this hidden store ...

Deep within Earth’s core, scientists are uncovering signs of a hidden structure that challenges long-standing models of the planet’s interior.
