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 ...

A research team has produced the first direct experimental evidence that Earth’s iron core traps hydrogen inside nanoscale ...

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 Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...

Earth cross section showing the classic distinction between crust, mantle and core. But new research shows Earth's structure is far more complicated and may change over time. Analyzing an unusual ...

A schematic illustration of the Earth's inner core, which is the deepest region in the Earth. Researchers have found evidence that in addition to iron and hydrogen, sulfur and silicon may be a part of ...

Understanding inner core oscillations is key to grasping Earth's rotation variations and magnetic field changes, linking deep processes to surface effects.

Researchers in England believe carbon played a key role in freezing Earth’s core. As it contributes to the cooling and freezing of the molten outer core, the solid, iron-rich center of Earth continues ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

Cartoon of the Earth with cutaway showing the mantle and inner and outer core. Magnetic field lines produced by the geodynamo extend into space and interact with the solar wind. The iron-rich core at ...
