The core is the iron-rich mass at the center of the planet that plays an important role in determining the structure and dynamics of the Earth’s deep interior. The core is not a static mass; it’s ...

Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists from the, University of Leeds, and University College London has uncovered ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Their findings could shed more light on the layers that make up the Earth and how they are interconnected, coauthor and ...

A recent study reveals dynamic transformations in Earth's lower mantle, impacting both earthquakes and the magnetic field. GRACE satellites detected a ...

All the activity on Earth’s surface — erupting volcanoes, shifting tectonic plates, restless seas and myriad forms of life — depends on the two-part engine under the hood. Directly beneath Earth’s ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

Cartoon of the Earth with cutaway showing the mantle and inner and outer core. Magnetic field lines produced by the geodynamo extend into space and interact with the solar wind. The iron-rich core at ...
