This increased movement makes the inner core less rigid, weaker against shear forces.” Zhang and his fellow researchers used a miniature computer model of the Earth's inner core to predict the ...

Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...

The work was done by Haruki Takezawa and Kei Hirose at the University of Tokyo and colleagues, who suggest that Earth’s core could host a vast reservoir of primordial helium-3 – reshaping our ...

is about 1,900 miles underneath the Earth's surface, resting between the liquid outer core and the solid mantle, and varies ...

Finding out that helium can bond with iron in extreme conditions may mean there is an entire reservoir of helium in our core. Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really ...

Wednesday March 26 – New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of the earth’s formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary ...

Figuring out how helium-3 got incorporated into the core during Earth's formation is very important for understanding when the planet formed, Olson said. Light gases like helium hung around in the ...

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth’s core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...
