Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from NERC grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth’s inner core — a solid ball of ...
That’s what Earth’s inner core — which starts about 5,300 kilometers below our feet — is like. And it turns out that under these conditions, iron becomes a solid; its atoms stay in one ...
