While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own ...

Earth’s magnetic field is easy to forget. It doesn’t make noise, it doesn’t flash, and it doesn’t ask for attention. Yet it ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

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

Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of ...

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 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 bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.
