Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

The iron-rich core at the centre 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 inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...

With findings on Earth’s polar extremes and its innermost core, scientists shaped how we look at the planet in 2025 in ...

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 ...

An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior of earthquake waves, in Earth's inner core. A team led by scientists from ...

Iron atoms form a rigid hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, with a subset of these atoms exhibiting collective motion along the [100] and [010] directions. Within this hcp iron lattice, ...

In 2025, scientists discovered that gold is escaping from Earth's core and the world's oldest rocks may be located in Quebec, ...
