Researchers in England believe carbon played a key role in freezing Earth’s core. As it contributes to the cooling and freezing of the molten outer core, the solid, iron-rich center of Earth continues ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Earth's inner core, the solid iron-rich mass at the center of our planet, is slowly growing as the surrounding molten outer core cools and freezes. But this process has been a source of debate amongst ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

The bold question-askers at What If explore the consequences if Earth’s core completely cooled down. Blast at a Tennessee explosives plant leaves 19 people missing and feared dead, sheriff says What ...

Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies go beneath the surface: They explore the interior of the red planet using seismic data from NASA's InSight mission ...
