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 ...

Deep inside Earth, researchers see signs that the solid inner core may be arranged in multiple chemical layers far below.

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications offers new insights into Earth’s inner core, potentially solving ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified two massive thermochemical formations at Earth's core-mantle boundary that refine understanding of ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...
