Earth's core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

A team of geologists from China and the US have found evidence to suggest that snow may be falling within the broiling hot core of planet Earth. Of course, this isn’t your everyday surface snow – the ...

Researchers led by the University of Maryland have found that the sun's magnetic field is the reason behind the large size of Mercury’s iron core. The study has been published in Progress in Earth and ...

Analysis of Martian seismic data recorded by the InSight mission in combination with first-principles simulations of the seismic properties of liquid metal alloys have revealed that Mars’s liquid iron ...

Deep inside the earth, iron "snow" is falling from the bottom of the planet's molten outer core onto the top of the inner core, research suggests. The tiny crystals of iron have formed piles on top of ...

A new study disputes the prevailing hypothesis on why Mercury has a big core relative to its mantle (the layer between a planet’s core and crust). For decades, scientists argued that hit-and-run ...

Some metals are in liquid form, the prime example being mercury. But there are also enormous quantities of liquid metal in the Earth's core, where temperatures are so high that part of the iron is ...

Scientists from Tohoku University and the University of Maryland have pinpointed the strong magnetic field of the early sun as the reason behind the radial variation of rock and metal in rocky planets ...
