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 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 ...

Forget a doomsday asteroid or melting permafrost. It’s the freezing of Earth’s core that will end the world in today’s episode. Or would it? Because maybe, just maybe, we could save the world by ...

This superionic state of matter would neatly explain some unusual behavior in the core, such as the way it slows certain waves, and measurements that suggest it's squishy like butter rather than rigid ...

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of iron. While the iron in the core has always been recognized as dominant, ...

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 ...
