Think Earth is just a static rock? Dive deep, and you'll find a dynamic world where metals leak, water seeps, and its insides ...

A recent groundbreaking study has revealed something truly surprising: Earth’s core may be leaking iron into the mantle. This discovery, which is backed by a 2020 study in Nature Geoscience, ...

The researchers say the Earth’s true core is iron because of the “ricochets” they uncovered. It’s an intriguing discovery, and one that the paper outlines very well.

The Earth – for physicists. Buoyed by these results, Shen and colleagues then carried out fresh measurements at inner-core like conditions. They realized that, as they and other groups had found ...

Earth's iron core is surprisingly weak Date: May 20, 2013 Source: Stanford University Summary: Researchers have used a diamond anvil cell to squeeze iron at pressures as high as 3 million times ...

That solid iron inner core of Earth may still hold liquid iron, according to a new study from the University of Utah. Scientists have used seismic waves to research Earth’s inner core, ...

Earth's inner core may have paused and reversed its spin, a new study suggests.; Earthquakes and nuclear blasts can send seismic waves through the mysterious solid-iron core. Those waves hint that ...

For context: the Earth's center is a solid metal inner core surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. It's about 750 miles thick and reaches 9,800 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 5,400 degrees Celsius).

Scientists put iron, the main ingredient of Earth's core, through rigorous lab tests to recreate conditions inside the planet, and narrowed down what else the core might be made of and how it ...

Earth’s solid iron inner core appears to be spinning at a slower rate than the planet, according to a new study — but no worries, scientists believe it’s been changing speeds and directions ...

A model of iron atoms on the move in Earth's inner core. The model demonstrates how iron atoms are expected to move about in the Earth’s inner core over 10 picoseconds, or 10 trillionths of a second. ...
