For decades, many scientists believed that most of the water in our planet came from space, transported by meteorites and comets during the first moments of ...

Earth's inner core is solid and blistering hot. For decades, scientists have known the inner core is solid thanks to the pioneering work of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann, who first proposed its ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Earth’s core has often been described as just a giant ball of iron and nickel. Now, a new study argues that it is also a major storage place for hydrogen, possibly equivalent to dozens of oceans’ ...

An experiment to quantify the amount of the universe’s lightest element in Earth’s core suggests that the planet’s water has ...

With an estimated 6 sextillion kilograms of the stuff—that’s 21 zeroes by the way—the Earth’s core is another example of why hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.
