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

A team of researchers has produced the strongest experimental evidence yet that Earth’s iron core holds enormous quantities ...

Earth’s core has often been described as just a giant ball of iron and nickel. Now, a new study argues that it is also a major storage place for hydrogen, possibly equivalent to dozens of oceans’ ...

Scientists have long debated whether most of Earth's vital liquid was delivered via icy comets or was homemade ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
