New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

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

Time is relative. The ticking of the clock, even of the most precise clocks we can make, does not exist in an absolute. It ...

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 ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...
