New simulations show carbon enabled Earth’s inner core to solidify under realistic cooling, solving the nucleation paradox.

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving ...

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 | Earth And The Environment ...

Researchers used atomic-scale computer simulations to discover the importance of carbon in forming a solid planetary core.

New research reveals that carbon made it possible for Earth’s molten core to freeze into a solid heart, stabilizing the magnetic field that protects our planet. Without it, Earth’s deep interior — and ...

Beneath Earth s surface, nearly 3,000 kilometers down, lies a mysterious layer where seismic waves speed up inexplicably. For decades, scientists puzzled over this D' layer. Now, groundbreaking ...
