Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Deep beneath our feet, approximately 2,890 kilometers underground, lies one of Earth's most mysterious regions. The boundary ...

Buried nearly 1,800 miles below Earth’s surface are two vast, continent-sized structures that continue to challenge our ...

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 dynamics and conductivity underpin the generation and evolution of the geomagnetic field, influencing the thermal history and long‐term sustainability of the geodynamo. Studies over ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state under Earth’s core pressure and temperature conditions. Beneath Earth’s ...

A new study in National Science Review have experimentally uncovered a suprising new state of matter within Earth's inner core–a superionic iron light-element alloy. In this state, light elements like ...

One of the strangest mysteries about our Earth is the presence of two dense, giant blobs inexplicably clustered above the ...

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 ...

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels are inextricably linked, new research suggests. The strength of the geomagnetic field has gone up in lockstep with the percentage of oxygen in Earth's ...

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth's magnetic field over the South ...
