As much as we have explored and modeled our planet, there are a number of mysteries that surround the Earth's inner core. This isn't that surprising, as it's pretty difficult to study a region ...

Over time, Earth's interior—which is made mostly of silicate rocks and metals—differentiated into four layers. At the planet's heart lies the inner core, a solid sphere of iron and nickel that ...

A supercomputer simulation of iron and carbon atoms in Earth’s inner core may explain how a molten ball at the centre of our ...

Since we cannot physically access the core—humans have only drilled 12km into the Earth—we rely almost entirely on seismology to understand our planet's interior. The inner core was discovered in 1936 ...

A terrifying simulation has shown exactly what would happen if the Earth's core drastically dropped in temperature. While it's unlikely to occur in our lifetimes, the centre of our planet cooling down ...

K2-360 b has a radius just shy of 1.6 times that of Earth, giving it a volume four times as large. Its mass, though, is 7.7 ...

Ever wondered what the most abundant element on Earth is? Or how the elements that make up our planet compare to those floating out in the vast universe?

The Earth’s climate has now warmed by 1.49°C (2.6°F) above pre-industrial levels due to human activity, according to a recent ...

An international team led by researchers in Japan and Europe has discovered a new multi-planet system around a sun-like star, ...
