In a first, researchers have discovered fragments of Earth's precursor that contain distinctive chemical fingerprints in ...

In 2007, a peculiar gravity signal was detected from deep within Earth, suggesting rapid changes near the planet’s core. This ...

Earth’s interior remains one of the most enigmatic realms of science, with its deepest regions yet to fully reveal their secrets. Recent research published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, takes a closer ...

In some parts of Earth's interior, seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on the direction in which they are ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and ...

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 team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...

For over half a billion years, Earth’s magnetic field has risen and fallen in sync with oxygen levels in the atmosphere, and scientists are finally uncovering why. A NASA-led study reveals a striking ...

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 ...

Cambridge scientists discovered that thin, weak zones in Earth’s plates helped spread Iceland’s mantle plume across the North Atlantic, explaining why volcanic activity once spanned thousands of ...
