A research team has produced the first direct experimental evidence that Earth’s iron core traps hydrogen inside nanoscale ...

Earth’s core has often been described as just a giant ball of iron and nickel. Now, a new study argues that it is also a ...

Earth's core contains up to 45 times more hydrogen than the oceans do, making it the largest hydrogen reservoir on the planet, a new study suggests. Researchers found that this vast amount of hydrogen ...

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 ...

For decades, many scientists believed that most of the water in our planet came from space, transported by meteorites and comets during the first moments of ...

An experiment to quantify the amount of the universe’s lightest element in Earth’s core suggests that the planet’s water has mostly been here since the beginning ...

A team of geophysicists say that an enormous mass shifted deep beneath the Earth’s surface 18 years ago. As detailed in a paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters last month, a team ...

For years, scientists have tried to understand what’s hidden in the Earth. Now, a recent investigation has revealed something surprising: the Earth’s core ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Two enormous structures that sit at the border between the Earth’s mantle and its core have puzzled scientists for decades, defying reigning theories of how our planet came to be. In a new study ...

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside Earth—hidden formations that have puzzled researchers for decades. New ...

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. He works for the University of Leeds. The iron-rich core at the centre ...
