About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New ...

Buried nearly 1,800 miles below Earth’s surface are two vast, continent-sized structures that continue to challenge our ...

Two enormous structures that sit at the border between the Earth's mantle and its core have puzzled scientists for decades.

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state under Earth’s core pressure and temperature conditions. Beneath Earth’s ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

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. These ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside ...

A new study suggests that structures at the core-mantle boundary are remnants of an early basal magma ocean linked to Earth's ...

Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...
