Researchers have long struggled to explain how Earth’s solid inner core formed, cooled, and crystallized without undergoing ...

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new ...

New research uncovers how Earth's molten core leaks precious metals like gold into the mantle, contributing to volcanic island formation over billions of years.

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

Remnants of a liquid layer of magma near Earth's core, formed in the first few hundred million years of the planet's history, may still persist today as odd anomalies in the mantle.

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have ...

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 ...
