Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years.

The energy is derived from the center of the Earth, but scientists are certain the core is very, very slowly cooling off. Keeping the center of the Earth hot are two sources of “fuel ...

Scientists no longer need to rely on theoretical models to study the solar core. Neutrinos, emitting from nuclear fusions, ...

Studying Earth’s core presents a unique challenge for scientists. Obviously, sending a field team to the core is out of the question, so there’s no hope of getting samples and much of the time, it can ...

Its loss from magma suggests that the planet has a deep reservoir of primordial helium, and the new compounds suggest that Earth’s iron-rich core could hold some of that helium. But the team ...

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth’s core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...

Primordial helium from the beginning of the solar system may be stuck inside Earth's solid core, new research suggests. The findings could have implications for a long-standing debate about how ...

And the real icing on the cake is that the moon ... The heavy core of Theia sank deep into Earth, enlarging our planet's core. The two bodies' mantles mixed and thus bulked up our planet.

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth's core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...
