An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior ...

About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New computer models now tie these deep structures to slow chemical leaks between the ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

Researchers have found evidence that Earth's core is leaking gold and other precious metals, according to a new study. The vast majority (99.9%) of Earth's gold and other precious metals are hidden in ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may exist in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow like liquid ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...

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 ...
