When trying to identify the nature of dark matter, sometimes it’s the things it doesn’t do that tell us the most, like ...

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 ...

The record-breaking mission offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the geology of our planet’s largest layer.

A dramatic shift in Earth’s magnetic field occurred roughly 41,000 years ago during what scientists now call the Laschamps ...

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

Earth's inner core, the solid iron-rich mass at the center of our planet, is slowly growing as the surrounding molten outer core cools and freezes. But this process has been a source of debate amongst ...

About 4. 6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity.

Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists ...

Seismic studies reveal Mars may have a solid inner core. The result deepens knowledge of its evolution and lost magnetic field. Researchers have determined that Mars shares a structural similarity ...
